Hola todos! Let the year abroad blogging commence. It's official: I've been in Zaragoza for a week now. A WEEK. It seems time really does fly when you're having fun/panicking over living in a foreign country/being a tourist in your new home town. I won't lie, I was absolutely petrified about moving here and ended… Continue reading Year Abroad / Surviving my first week
It’s the middle of July. University finished a month ago and I have no classes again until September when I move to Spain. Naturally, I have found myself going through somewhat of a lull. Apart from shifts at Lush, my life mainly consists of Netflix marathons, late nights and lots of coffee - I can’t remember… Continue reading Finally feeling motivated and inspired

Probably not

At the start of the academic year, if you had told me I would be part of a record label and appearing on the radio, I would have laughed you out the door… so naturally the last few… Continue reading Records and radio
I don't have to be the one to remind you that the world we live in nowadays is a digital one. Hell, you're probably reading this on a phone screen or some other kind of tablet that's yet to be invented. We were always told at school: 'don't talk to strangers'. It was practically drummed… Continue reading Breaking social media barriers
I love London a hell of a lot. Having not been there since December with my best friend, it was time to revisit one of my favourite places in the country. I ended up selling one of my tickets for Catfish and the Bottlemen at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, mainly due to lack of money (and… Continue reading Loner in London
