About

Hello hello!
My name is Caoimhe (pronounced Kee-va). Welcome to my blog!

I am a 21-year-old final year business and Spanish student originally from near Belfast in Northern Ireland but studying in Bath, England. During my year abroad last year, I spent 5 months studying in Santiago, Chile, and then worked in Madrid, Spain, for 7 months. The year really cemented my passion for travelling and so I decided to set this blog up as a place where I can share my experiences and learn about other people's experiences. I also enjoy writing about my life, music and just my thoughts on certain topics, so that's what you can expect to read about here.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Sustainability Journey

Hello hello! Happy New Year! I hope the first week of 2020 has been a good one! With the arrival of a new year comes new resolutions. I am notoriously bad for keeping my list of resolutions after January passes and I was considering not making any this year. However, the more I thought about it, I decided to make just one for 2020: become more sustainable. I know the word 'sustainability' is being thrown round a lot at the minute and environmental activism is on the rise (which is amazing). I'm not the world's worst person for sustainability all things considered: I have a reusable water bottle which I bring everywhere, a travel mug which I am never without at uni, I don't use plastic straws, I bring my own bags to the supermarket... but there's so much more that I could be doing. There is increasing awareness around the effects of climate change and I'm so thankful that today's technology is enabling us to educate ourselves and to find out more ...

My year abroad has involved spending 5 months studying at a university in Chile, and moving to Madrid just 4 days ago to spend a number of months doing an internship for a multinational company. Two very different things in two very different places. But they have two things in common: 1) Both are amazing opportunities to improve my Spanish and learn about the very diverse cultures of these two places and 2) Both are away from home. Before I went to university I was such a homebody, which is why I think a lot of people were surprised that I was even considering going to England to study. In school I was the shy girl that stayed within her comfort zone at all times pretty much. But when the time came to apply to university, I was ready to break away from that. I wanted to become more confident, to meet new people, to see new things and to experience a different way of life. And I knew the best way of doing so was to step far out of my comfort zone, to pack up my stuff and to leave h...

A Weekend in Zaragoza

Image
As Madrid is right in the middle of Spain, it makes for a great location to travel from as nothing is too far away for a weekend trip. At the beginning of March, I took advantage of this and spent the weekend exploring the city of Zaragoza in the Aragón region of Spain, about 300km north-east of Madrid. I arrived in Zaragoza at 12pm after leaving Madrid on the 9am bus. It was a really comfortable journey and the bus is so cheap! If you can't decide between getting the AVE or the bus from Madrid to Zaragoza, I would 100% recommend taking the bus if you're not pushed for time. There are some super pretty views to enjoy on the way (well, what I saw when I wasn't napping anyway...) So without further ado, here was what I got up to during my weekend in Zaragoza and what I would recommend if you find yourself there... Walk around the Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar I made my way to the Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, which is the main square of the city and there you ...
