Gibraltar – Where am I again?
Gibraltar (aka 'The Rock') is an interesting place. An overseas territory of the United Kingdom, but on Spain’s mainland, it seemed to have an identity crisis and one could be forgiven to question what country they are in when visiting. With a huge and impressive 426m...
The winds of Tarifa
Having another “Puente” (long weekend), a group of friends and I decided to go on a road trip to the small coastal town of Tarifa. I mean, who can resist the calling of the sun, surf and sand? Tarifa is the southern-most edge of Spain (and Europe in general) and also...
The Nitty-Gritty on moving to Spain
For any of you who are considering doing the Auxiliares program, or moving abroad to Spain, here’s some hopefully helpful info/advice. It may come as a shock to some, but Spain is not all that reliable on providing helpful and vital information for anyone moving...
Pueblo Living
I have a terrible confession to make... When I was originally planning my adventure to Spain, I had grandeur dreams of being a travel blogger. I had imagined myself as a travelling Carrie Bradshaw, writing daily reflections and musings for the masses of fans. There...

Packing: The dilemma of a Shoe Addict
The Shoe Addict, the Fashionista and Princess Tim Tam had a tough time in this necessary step towards a new and temporary (for now) life in Spain. So what does one pack for 9 months, and practically all seasons abroad, whilst limiting it to only 23kgs? And more...
A Picture Is Worth…
When it comes to taking holiday snaps and creating a blog (that hopefully interests the masses of fans out there – Hi mum! Hi dad!), a perfectly framed picture is worth more than a thousand words. Which is the reason I decided to spend one of my last precious days in...
An Escape before the Big Escape
As the title suggests, the Big Escape, or Adventure, was just around the corner. So we decided to take one weekend out of our crazy, busy lives to just r-e-l-a-x. And what better setting than Eagle View Escape, near the Blue Mountains. Just a scenic 3 ½ hours drive...
