  • 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…

  • Women’s March, Barcelona

    Cities across the world hosted these marches today to show solidarity with Washington’s own march, now that Trump is president. Barcelona had a great atmosphere, despite the drizzle. Although some people may think it pointless to protest when Trump is legitimate, but to me and others democracy is not about voting once every few years…

  • Parc Guell Revisited

    I did a post on Parc Guell a while back when I visited Barcelona for the first time. This time around a friend and I went to take pictures, because he had just bought himself a new camera, and I’m glad to have friends who are also into photography. We missed out the section you have to…

  • A Personal 2016 in Review

    Let’s not talk about 2016 in the general sense. I think most agree that 2016 was a disaster of a year in terms of politics and celebrity deaths (and lets not forget the horrors of Syria and refugees that are not close to being resolved). I’m going to talk about my own 2016. Specifically the…

  • Little Things I Miss About Britain…

    I love living in Spain, I love the culture, the lifestyle, and that I feel like it’s made me a warmer person (ish…) But I also am very stereotypically British, and no matter how amazing our adopted country is, there are always some little things that can make you homesick… I wrote a similar post about a…

  • 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…

  • Polaroid Workshop

    Happy Polaroid Week! To kick off this week that is celebrated by polaroid enthusiasts and companies all around the world, Impossible Project Barcelona hosted a workshop for people to listen to tips given by an expert, and to have fun taking photos and receiving feedback. All for 20 euros, which was the price of the pack…

  • 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…
