  • EU Careers Unlocked: Inside EPLO Paris

    In this episode of EU Careers Unlocked, I sit down with Marine and Martine, two amazing trainees from the EPLO in Paris, to hear all about their experiences as a Schuman Trainee. A huge thanks to both of them for taking the time to chat - it was a pleasure having you! We also had a blast exploring the European Parliament and my office in Brussels together. Tune in for a fun and insightful conversation about life as an EPLO trainee!

  • The Truth About Sex
    My friends Faith and Ruth talked about Christianity in conjunction with relationships, love, and intimacy with me today. It’s a really beautiful episode. One that highlights that it is human to make mistakes and that all we can do is to put our best foot forward. We talk about hypocrisy, compassion, and the importance of boundaries.

  • LUXEMBOURG'S EUROBUBBLE

    In today’s episode, Christos and I sat down and realized that we went to the same school: The European School. We talked about issues like identity, why it is so difficult for Luxembourg to keep its EU students in the country, and what it means to be a European citizen. Then, we seguewayed into why it is that people don’t stay or come back to Luxembourg. We touched on cost of living and the lack of political representation of immigrants in the Luxembourgish government. In a nutshell: the "Eurobubble" of Luxembourg, a phenomenon where immigrants do not partake in decision-making in Luxembourg, and consequently don’t participate in society.

    I highly recommend, for anyone who's interested in learning more about Luxembourg, to check out Christos' instagram @christosfloros.

  • ABERDEEN FOOD GUIDE
    As I was waiting for my Indian food a few weeks ago and Freya was sitting next to me eating cereal, we started reminiscing about all the great food we’ve eaten in our 3 years in Aberdeen. So, here it is: our Aberdeen Food Guide. I hope you enjoy and feel free to send me recommendations of any places I didn’t mention!
    PS: To any men who want to take Freya out on a nice date, there is a real tip in this episode (hidden toward the end).
