Welcome!

Never say ‘no’ to a life changing opportunity. You will regret it.

With just over 3 weeks to go until my flight out to Spain, I thought it would be appropriate timing to set up a blog which will serve the purpose of keeping my friends and family (mainly my mum) up to date with what I am doing with my life over the next year. 

For those of you who don’t know, I am a student at the University of Kent and as part of my degree I have to complete a year abroad. I will be taking up a position at a school in Reus as a British Council Language Assistant and I am really looking forward to it. 

As well as teaching English, I am hoping that my Spanish will significantly improve and that my Catalan lessons in second year might come in handy, particularly as the school’s main language of instruction will be Catalan. Also, needless to say that I am very much looking forward to savouring all the Spanish food and drinking plenty of sangria!

I can’t report about too much just yet as I am still spending the majority of my time sitting in a chair at the pool making sure people don’t drown, but I hope you will stay tuned to find out more about life in Spain!
