With now less than three weeks left until I head back to England for good and end my year abroad (!!), I keep finding myself debating whether I'm happy or sad to go home and I wanted to write a little post on my feelings now, so I can look back once I'm at home. Santiago couldn't have been a more different experience...
April could possibly be crowned my favourite month that I've spent here in Santiago, it was incredible. In one month, I squeezed in a visit to El Puerto de Santa Maria (near Cadiz) to visit my lovely pal Emily, one day in Barcelona, two days in Ibiza, two days in Formentera and a visit from my Gran to finish it off.

The number of times I've been told I'll come back to England with a tan after living here in Spain is quite concerning. Firstly, when have I EVER had a tan? I've spent hours, days and weeks trying but alas, I am the definition of an English Rose (read: pale). Not only does my inability to go any darker than a warm beige...

I can't believe how quickly the last six weeks have gone - "time flies" and all that. Anyway, since I've been here six weeks I thought it was...

On Friday at FOUR IN THE MORNING Virgi and I got up, got dressed in a...
I've almost been here two weeks now and I genuinely cannot believe how quickly that time has gone. So much has happened since arriving here in Santiago that I don't really know where to start! Last Saturday we had our first night out and Júlia moved in! Virginia, Júlia and I invited a few friends to the flat for a couple of drinks...
Hola a todos! I've made it to my second year abroad destination: Santiago de Compostela, Spain! And I'm now sat in a cafe called Dalia with a hot chocolate (which I'm pretty sure is actually chocolate custard...) and scrounging for wifi so I can tell you about my first few days. Monday After spending all of Sunday trying to fit everything in my suitcase, I...
