  • Sevilla

    I have visited and written about visiting Seville before, and just less than a year later I found myself retracing my steps in the city with new friends. We had just finished with exams so it was a welcome, relaxing break to chill and enjoy ourselves. We explored the cathedral, climbing to the top and exploring the…

  • Snacks around the World

    The best thing in life is food. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love eating, and trying new flavours can be one of the best experiences in life. Sometimes our travels are also defined by the food we try. When I first visited Brazil my dear Granny asked me to write her a letter about…

  • Fira de Santa Lucia

    Me encanta Navidad!! Christmas is the best, I love the decorations, the festive atmosphere, the excuse to warm up with mulled wine, and how everything seems a lot more cheerful (dreading the cold days of January and February without the festivities to keep me in a good mood…) And one of the best things about…

  • Navidad

    It really is the most wonderful time of the year… Although it means things are colder, darker, and as a masters student I have lots of deadlines that I may/may not currently be procrastinating from, the festive spirit that sweeps through cities helps us all get through any holiday stress. And one of the best parts…

  • A month into my Barcelona adventure

    Photo from Dec 2015, but what I walk past every day to uni… Moving country and beginning at university can be quite hectic and time consuming, so my blog has been neglected for a while. But now I am quite settled, I am giving some life to my blog by writing about me, myself and…

  • Barcelona Bound!

    It’s a huge relief to be writing this post, because the past few months this has been an uncertainty. But I finally booked my flight, and in a couple of weeks I will be beginning my MA in International Relations at Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals! I’m hugely excited. And nervous. And impatient. And giddy. Spending the…

  • Lincoln Cathedral

    I’ve wanted to visit Lincoln for years because I have heard it is super pretty. Well my expectations were matched! It is very ideal for tourists who love exploring pretty, winding streets full of tea rooms, cafes, shops and pubs. The eye catching landmark is the Gothic cathedral. Found after hiking up the only steep…

  • Granada

    The final destination of my Easter trip to Andalusia was the beautiful Granada. The Semana Santa processions were winding up, but we still managed to catch some sights (including a Virgin Mary float that is carried solely by women). As the south of Spain has a huge Arabic culture, it was the perfect place to…

  • Cordoba

    After Seville we travelled to Cordoba nearby. We only stayed one night, as Cordoba is smaller than other cities to explore. Covering the city centre doesn’t take long, but there is still enough to see to make it a worthwhile destination! The top thing to see in Cordoba is the mosque – cathedral. It is unique as…

  • Semana Santa in Seville

    During the Easter break earlier this year I hopped in a car and travelled to the Andalusia region of southern Spain, swapping the cold north of Burgos for sun, sunglasses and the slightest of tans… First stop was Seville, which is often reported to be one of the best cities in Spain to visit for…
