I know that every year people get all excited for a "spring clean", but personally spring has never been that for me. Whilst in education it's always been a time of much stress, exams and deadlines so there was always little time to organise and sort ones life out. Plus these past couple of years [...]

What I’ve learnt so far as a female “adult”
I don't know about you but I love reading articles written by women, for other women, on what they've learnt by being a woman. Little life lessons we should all take on board to make it through the day/week/month/year. To remind us we're doing okay, everybody's doing okay, and that we can achieve/overcome anything. And [...]
Tips on Becoming an English Teacher
Last summer I made countless applications before I won, what I feel like was the best option available. Burgos was a big enough city, but small enough to not feel overwhelmed, it wasn't too touristy but I could get by on my basic knowledge of Spanish. Plus a bonus was that there were so many [...]
Best Places to Wine and Dine in Burgos
Perhaps one day you will find yourself in the cold, northern Spanish city of Burgos. I'd certainly recommend a visit: its cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its second main attraction is a fascinating Museum of Human Evolution, and its certainly pretty enough to make you want to spend the day taking hundreds of [...]
Tips for Language Learning
Is it a bit hypocritical to write this when my own ability to speak a second language is, ahem, lacking? But although my Spanish is far from where I want it to be, I have picked up some tips from studying, teaching, and witnessing others study a second language. To me, languages are something you [...]
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 [...]
Photography Tips 101
Not that I can consider myself much of an expert. Just the other day I was out with my camera and a couple with a fellow Nikon asked me to take their photo. Obviously assuming I would take a decent photo. Nope, it was too shadowy and I wanted to explain that I am still a novice. [...]
Wandering around Manchester
I booked a last minute train journey to Manchester, as my sister and her boyfriend had a spare ticket to see a brass band play. Why the hell not. The next day I had the afternoon to myself. I'm currently in the middle of a photography course, so I was keen to get to grips [...]
London Life on a Budget
I lived in and out of London for the best part of three years during my university studies, and whilst I came to call it my home, it can still be the daunting giant every non-Londoner views it as. Whilst I learnt to navigate the underground, roll my eyes at slow walking tourists and now I pay [...]
Reasons Why Yorkshire is Amazing
If you've ever encountered somebody who's from Yorkshire in Britain, you will probably realise we are incredibly, if not slightly overly, proud of our county. From our celebrities to the locals, and from its glorious countryside to the simply mention of it on TV, we adore everything that is Yorkshire. And trust me, it's hard to [...]
