About

maxiastories is an online travel diary. It was originally created to share the adventures of two french girls coming to England to study in Lancaster University. Want to get to know them? Let's introduce Alex and Marie !




Hi! I’m Alexia, but you guys can call me "Alex, the tall girl". Welcome to our world, the maxiastories.
I'm a 20 years old management student from France, passionate to death about fashion. Actually, (without even lying) my relationship with the fashion industry is more than crazyyy. I love clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, fashion shows, and all I want is buy every piece on trend but guess what, it's hard to become billionaire these days.. thank God, Christmas exists!
I'm also addicted to social medias (Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Blogger..etc). Basically it's pretty easy to understand that I spend my whole life on my phone.. sad story right?
I feel like it's considerable to know that I'm a hyperactive person. I move a lot, talk loud and sometimes realise that I can look a little bit awkward... To help me through this I decided to externalize my energy on sport which became a huge part of my lifestyle. I usually run and workout every week, and used to play basketball when I was younger.
As a newcomer to Lancaster University Management School, I'm glad to have the opportunity to share my student life and be a part of the British way of life with an online community.
Let's enjoy the ride with us and be ready to read the stories of the frenchies in the UK.


My name is Marie. I was born in 1997, which makes me one year younger than Alexia. Since it is kind of hazardous to give an objective description of me, I can at least tell you about my interests.
I have always liked practising sport. I actually first met Alexia by playing basketball. I admire runners but I am too lazy for this activity; my lungs hurt after 2 minutes of practice. I prefer tennis, hiking or biking. Bikes are cool once you’ve been taught not to fall in front of cars.
I am interested in all forms of art and get pretty often fascinated (obsessed?) by other people’s talents. I personally have been practising photography for a couple of years now and I feel proud to be responsible for some changes of friends’ profile pictures on Facebook !
I sometimes feel like cooking one thousand and one meals but to be honest, I am more effective at eating those. Food is my passion, it makes me feel truly happy.
90% of my Instagram feed is related to cinema and series (fangirl ? not at all) but I also feel concerned about the environmental cause and feminism.

Get on board, there is no welcome cocktail but I swear you’ll have fun!
