  • 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.

Found after hiking up the only steep…

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…
