NTU Graduation 2016
Anna the graduate… I know, not so much of a travel blog this one. But I guess I’m taking it back to what I originally made this blog for: keeping my family in the loop of what I’m doing as they can’t follow me around like sheep! (…and they probably wouldn’t want to anyway!) As […]

So are you fluent?! No.
As a languages student I always, always get the same responses when I tell people what I study; 1) OMG so are you fluent?! 2) OMG speak some Spanish to me!! Both will get the response ‘no’. The reason I’m going to Spain for the year is to become fluent and just because I can […]
