Working 9 to 5, what a way to do a Year Abroad!
Caitlin Akohene and Farooq Abdullah walk you through their working lives in Paris. Bonne Nouvelle! Breakthrough. In the very last car of the Eurostar, straight from London to Paris, stepping off in the 9th arrondissement at Bonne Nouvelle. Good news. Wondering if this was a sign? I sure hoped it was because I was terrified. Dayuse is a Parisian start-up revolutionising daytime hotel bookings.
