Year Abroad / Reunions and new places

So in the space of a week or so, I was able to reunite with two of my favourite people. Firstly, a long bank holiday weekend away in Milan to visit my best friend Harriet, before a visit from the wonderful Verity - she travelled 7 hours by car to get to Zaragoza! That's what… Continue reading Year Abroad / Reunions and new places

2017 / March and April Round Up

If you've read my latest year abroad post, you'll know that the last couple of months have been really busy what with university and visits and Easter. Due to this, I had no time for last month's roundup, but here's a double whammy of March and April for you. Music There has been so much… Continue reading 2017 / March and April Round Up

Year Abroad / An overdue update

Hola chiquitos! Since my last post a lot of things have happened.

Year Abroad / The 6 month mark

It's been over 6 months now since I hopped on that plane to Zaragoza and in some respects I honestly can't believe how quickly the time has gone!

2017 / February Round Up

Two months down which means the second attempt at a blog post like this. February has been busy, especially with my 5-day trip home mid-way through and sorting out timetables and classes for my second semester at Spanish university. But of course, with this being a round-up, I should probably just get on with it...

Single Review / Tired As Fuck – The Staves

Perhaps a profanity in a song title isn’t something we’d expect from indie-folk trio, The Staves, but it’s something they’ve certainly surprised us with. Ahead of a North American tour and headlining Bushstock this summer, the band have released a double-A side single consisting of ‘Train Tracks’ and 'Tired As Fuck'. The latter is a… Continue reading Single Review / Tired As Fuck – The Staves

Year Abroad / Why a year abroad doesn’t have to be the best year of your life

It’s the envy of your friends, parents and Instagram followers alike: the year abroad. Compulsory for language students and an opportunity for adventure for many other undergraduate students, time out from university in the UK is increasingly popular year on year, with a third of students aged between 16 to 30 interested in studying abroad… Continue reading Year Abroad / Why a year abroad doesn’t have to be the best year of your life

2017 / January Round Up

Hey everyone! This is a new kind of post I'm trying out, so please bear with me. A month can encompass a heck of a lot of stuff, and given how January has felt like the longest month on record, there has been a lot to talk about. This series is basically a summary of… Continue reading 2017 / January Round Up
