The Better way: #GetBiggerProject with Kinho
My best friend was in town for a week and it didn’t take much persuasion to get a personal training session from the Brazilian account manager and #GetBiggerProject founder – Marcus Alvares (or as I call him, Kinho)!

CSers and me: The real Wahaca!
There’s a small possibility that I’m the envy of my neighbours who, I don’t doubt, peer out of their windows in amazement by the ins and outs of backpackers I welcome into my humble home. It could be that I’m just really cool and have friend all over the world (proving I’m not a loner)… Or it could be that I just really enjoy hosting Couchsurfers (and maybe I get a kick out of knowing my neighbours are peeping in bemusement) – plus, I’m cool!

So I took that journey across the channel to discover if a single girl can find pleasure in a city drenched in romance… Would I be seduced by a night in Paris and let my guard down all in the name of… Love?
“Hold your horses! We’re not even in Paris yet!”
