  • Autumnal Burgos

    Following up from landmarks of Burgos, what captured me on the day I was taking photos was the autumnal vibe the city was giving. With so many trees shedding their leaves it was hard not to feel autumny, and a very different experience to the U.K’s perception of autumn with pumpkin spiced lattes (which I…

  • Burgos Landmarks

    The other day I walked all over the city centre with my camera, having fun as a shameless tourist. I took loads of photos, and so I decided that rather than one long post and expecting you lovely readers to sit patiently for all the photos to load, I would instead divide them into two…

  • Outside the Cathedral

    In the plaza are a few restaurants which offer a fantastic view of Burgos’s most iconic landmark. The cathedral towers above everything in the city, and can be spotted from many viewpoints in the centre. Inside is spectacular too!

    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…
