After working hard at an English Summer Camp in Valencia, I needed a well deserved beach holiday, so I decided to visit two gorgeous beach towns in Andalucia. I used Alsa buses to get around, which are amazing in Spain, so cheap and they literally go everywhere. Nerja - How to get there & what … Continue reading Nerja & Cadiz
One of my besties and I decided to do a mini road trip for a week during our Easter holidays from Madrid to Cordoba to Sevilla to Malaga to Granada and back to Madrid. Spring is the perfect time to visit this area of Spain, before it gets too hot but still warm enough to … Continue reading Semana Santa (Easter) in Andalucia
Vienna As always, I'm very late to the party and I'm writing about my Christmas travels in August, classic. Prepare yourself, grab a snack, this is going to be a long one.

My original plan was to travel to Turkey with Topdeck in August, but due to terrorist attacks in early July, all trips through Istanbul and Ankara were cancelled. I can't lie, I was really upset, as I was looking forward to this trip so much. Topdeck were kind enough to offer us a few other … Continue reading Exploring the Balkans

I finished school at the end of June … Continue reading What have I been up to this summer?
This was actually supposed to be written at the six month mark, but I got a bit lazy/having too much fun. I thought I would reflect on what I've learnt/experiences I've had since moving out of home. 1. Madrid is a relatively cheap place to live so I really can't complain, but when everything is … Continue reading Things I’ve learnt after moving out of home/abroad
My first time in Africa started rather miserably, I was vomiting in various spots around Madrid on my way to the meeting point before when embarked on what seemed like an eternal journey in bus prison. I decided to do the trip through Be Madrid, which I highly reccommend, as everything is already organised for … Continue reading New country, new continent
Everyone has bad days, and social media does not portray this. This may be an unpopular opinion and look like I'm jumping on the whole 'social media is not real life' bandwagon, but that is not the case.
