Whether you’re jumping on a plane for your next adventure or just need a way to organise all the crap in your bag, a good cosmetics bag is a useful accessory. When going through airport security, I always find it super useful to keep all the liquid and bits that need checking separate to the […]
This is an ongoing project for Team CMK, we want to host more travel advise and create a database of information for travellers seeking colour and creativity. To get started, we’ve pulled together a place to store ideas of colourful places to visit in Europe. Our first edit features a handful of obvious suggestions along […]
There are some things that are purchased for fun or pleasure. There are many things are purchased because they are necessary. An essential tool for freelancers, digital creatives or anyone who needs daily access to a laptop are decent practical and sturdy laptop bags and sleeves. However, it’s a bit like shopping for swimwear off […]
It’s cold, it won’t stop raining and you book a spa day to cheer yourself. Then you realise that you don’t own appropriate swimwear to enjoy the pool, so you head to the High Street to find something that is inexpensive, not dull and fits. It’s a totally nightmare. Don’t do what I did, shop […]
If you’re a cartoon or kawaii nerd like me, you’re already fully aware that you can get a Hello Kitty or Pokemon branded flight or hotel in certain parts of Asia with more ease that should be possible. In fact, Hello Kitty and Pikachu are officially recognised ambassadors of Japan. Yes, those cartoon characters have […]
How many languages do you speak? And I don’t mean, which languages did the UK school system make you learn for a couple of hours here and there when you were in High School. I’m talking fluent or enough to get by living in another country. As a Brit, it’s pretty much always just English and if you were keen you might have enough French, German or Spanish to get by on holiday but not much else. For me I know a bit of French, but really only my English is something to shout about.

So it’s been a week of living in Barcelona now, it’s gone so fast and we’ve achieved so much already. It’s been a minimum of 20 degrees everyday, only rained for about 10 minutes and we’ve eaten a lot of amazing and cheap food. We’ve also been to IKEA about 5 times, assembled ALOT of flat pack furniture, eaten a lot of IKEA meatballs and tried Spanish Domino’s. We’ve yet to go to the beach, even though my Dad asks me everyday if we have or not. It’s on the to do list. Anyway, thought it would be fun/interesting to have a little ramble about some of the (possibly) useful things that I’ve learnt about Spain so far.

Why not? Where we are born is not something we can choose, it just happens. So, why not think about living in another country? It’s an adventure, it’s an opportunity to learn a new language, it’s a chance to meet new people and live amongst a different culture and chances are you’ll get better weather than the UK too! Whilst the UK is still part of the EU, it’s the time to give it a go too whilst the process is fairly straight forward, who knows what the future holds there! It’s not straight forward at all, but more on that in another post. We signed the paperwork and got our keys last night, so now we’ve just got to figure out how to get our stuff there, so, time to explain it all!

As most of you will know my boyfriend, Miz is in a band and has been in various bands for a very long time. He goes on mini tours about once a month and gigs around the UK frequently. His latest incarnation of his band is a three piece meaning that whenever they go on tour there’s no space in the car for me so I’ve never been on tour with them. This year, Miz started pursuing some acoustic stuff under the Larkhill name and this weekend I had my first experience of being on tour and thought it’d be interesting to blog about as it’s not something everyone will have experienced and was certainly very illuminating and fun! Now, just bear with me whilst I write this currently being the most tired I’ve ever been.
