As I mentioned in my previous blog (One Month In), instead of constantly flapping on about working as an au pair and studying French, I have decided to use my blog as a motivation to see and enjoy as much of Paris as possible in the short time that I have here, starting with the […]

Dear Diary…. One Month In
I am one month in to my new Parisian life and I am already loving it so much! As I mentioned in my previous post (La Première Semaine), I have settled in so quickly and everything seems to have magically fallen into place. To avoid constantly repeating myself, I’m not going to always blog about […]
The First Week! La Première Semaine!
Guess who’s back! Yep, I’ve packed my suitcase, bought a flight ticket and moved abroad again! After spending so much time sending off job applications to work in Spain, I gave in and went for my plan B of moving to France or China to learn a new language and experience a new culture. So […]

10 Reasons Why I’m Quintessentially British
The struggles of a quintessentially British girl abroad. I’m amazing, I stand out in a crowd, I’m weird and foreign but sadly some of the attention I receive proves that I’m very much a stereotypical British girl.

Hello Señorita Anna!
Anna’s New School Teaching year 3 about London I’ve just completed my second full week in the school which adds up to 10 days altogether. It’s been interesting.

Adventures in Madrid! Aventuras en Madrid!
MADRID! This week I spent 5 days in the country’s beautiful capital city! Wednesday 1st October Wednesday was pretty boring. Me, Beth, Lucy and Medbh all went on a coach from Alicante to Madrid. It was 5 hours long and anyone who knows me well knows that I can’t cope with sitting still for that […]
