Six Binge-Worthy Netflix Series for the Summer
We’ve all found ourselves in the position over the long summer holiday where we’ve just run out of things to do. The initial crazy rush of trying to catch up with everyone is over and now seeing friends is complicated by the fact that most of us have gotten summer jobs to fund next […]
Making the most of your visits home
This weekend is not only the halfway point of my first semester abroad but also happens to be the weekend before my mum’s birthday. These two factors make it the perfect weekend to go home and, believe me, it is much needed. There is a whole list of things that I miss about England: […]
Erasmus 10: My first semester
Exams are over, and I have officially said all my goodbyes so I thought it would be fitting to do a reflective piece on my first semester in Madrid. A lot has happened in 2017, and one of the most important things for me was starting my year abroad in Spain. Like […]
Erasmus 8: How to spend a public holiday in Madrid
Hola chicos! As I mentioned yesterday, today is a public holiday here in Spain. El día de todos los Santos (Saints day) is considered a national holiday and it is a tradition to have some buñuelos (fried dough ball) which can sometimes be filled with something sweet or savoury depending on your personal preference.

Erasmus 4- First month at RESA
I still can’t believe it’s been a month since I checked in the residence hall. For those of you that haven’t been following my Erasmus experience, you can check my last post here. Also, you should take a look at the Spanish accommodation post for reference. Now, for those of you, that know how […]
Erasmus 3 – Language barriers? What’s that?
It’s official. I’ve spoken more English than Spanish and I’ve only been here for 28 hours. How is that possible? I am hoping that will change as soon as classes start. Spending a good portion of my day on the shopping centre probably didn’t help my case as most stores require their […]
Erasmus 2 – Arrival
It’s happening. Today, my journey has finally started; It’s the start of the rest the year. It’s Erasmus. As I left the plane, I was greeted by Madrid’s sunny weather which helped put a smile on my otherwise tired face. You see, it all started earlier this morning when I missed […]
