  • Hasta Luego Burgos

    Yep, I am writing this in the UK. It’s grey, my daily tea intake has already gone up, and I cannot wait to go to the pub (currently off alcohol for now so that has to wait…). Although the school year is nearly over, I had to return a month earlier than planned because my recent…

  • So I’ve Been Diagnosed with Lupus…

    Story time! This might be a long one, with a bit of whinging so I will understand if you skip this post! During the winter of my last year at uni, I became concerned when I started developing joint pain and swelling that would come and go in pretty much all my joints. The pain…

  • Why I don’t quite feel like an adult

    I’m pretty sure no adult ever really feels like an adult, we kind of just guess and stumble our way through life, keeping secret from the kids that we have no idea what we’re doing. Especially when we’re having to teach/fix/organize etc something for the kid… Just last year my dad said to me how he…

  • Two Countries, Two Lives

      Every country has its quirks, its benefits, and the little reasons that make living there quite peachy, even if you don’t appreciate these qualities unless you’re elsewhere. I won’t say I’m missing England with incurable homesickness (no offence England but not at all), however there are some things I miss.   And of course,…

  • New Year, New You (But seriously)

      I never make New Year’s Resolutions, can never be bothered. Any changes to lifestyle and well being can be made at any time of the year. Saying that though, I thought I’d share my little pearls of wisdom that I either learnt this year, or used to help me get through trying times this…

  • 10 Pains of Being a Girl

    Starbucks…hugs…twerking…the worshipping of Ryan Gosling. Whatever comes to mind when you think of girls, we’re all quite different from one another. But there are a few things that unite us all. Annoying things. Things that make us tell ourselves that we deserve that drink/chocolate/item on sale/sleeping in til noon. Because we really do. Hair Everywhere…

  • Can Cultures Benefit One Another?

    I have just stumbled upon this quote, and I think it’s quite brilliant. Languages are deeply ingrained into each country’s culture – and even though no two countries that speak the same language have the same culture, it is an excellent platform for gaining deeper insight into a culture. And when you have looked and…

  • First Impressions of Burgos

    After all the craziness of moving to another country about a week after receiving the job offer, I feel like I’ve neglected this blog a bit. Half written posts are still only half written, and I haven’t had a new post idea in weeks. But ah well. So I decided to just write a little…

  • So I’m off to teach English in Spain…

    After a couple of months of various Skype interviews and a billion applications, soon I will be heading to Burgos in the North of Spain to spend the academic year working as a teaching assistant at a local school. Excited? Very, there is probably no better way to increase my skill as a Spanish speaker. And a year abroad…
