Hi, I'm Gráinne (pronounced Grawn-ya). I'm at university, and despite taking up rowing (which has been an amazing way for me to keep fit, learn a new sport and make a bunch of new friends) I've still managed to put on about 20lbs over the past two years!

So I'm here to change that. Wish me luck!

I'm currently on a year abroad in a German university, hence some of the crazy food in my diary. I'm having a great time and some amazing experiences in a wonderful country, and most importantly perfecting my language skills!
