My first month has come and gone all of a sudden, who’d have thunk? It’s been eventful too. Just the other day I reached a new low in my life by rummaging around in my neighbours’ post box after suspecting the postman couldn’t figure out the difference between ‘18’ and ‘16’. I was proved right,… Continue reading Blatant cheating, stealing post and being laughed at for Brexit
SIM-IBAN, SIM cards for men.
You can wing most things in life, you cannot wing moving abroad. Oh well, at least I tried. First time round when I moved to Italy my first accommodation was blimmin’ dreadful. This time isn’t much better. The landlady is basically a con-artist because despite it being ‘redecorated and done up’ before I arrived the… Continue reading SIM-IBAN, SIM cards for men.
The race that changed my life – one year later
A year ago to the day, I got myself to the start line of possibly the most insane race of my life, which remains so to this day and will probably do so for a few years to come. So let’s just recap, the task set out to the mugs crazy enough to sign up… Continue reading The race that changed my life – one year later
The final chapter
As promised, my reflective piece on my year abroad is here. This blog, funnily enough, has been the most difficult to write and has taken the most time to as well. But it makes sense, where do you start going about summarising the year of your life? Well, the beginning would be a good place.… Continue reading The final chapter
Good blogs come to those who wait
5 months i promised my blog producing would improve. 5 months later i finish my follow up piece. Not really, i’ve just been really really busy as usual. But, this is the penultimate blog of my Year Abroad! Yes, it’s that time already, but reflecting on the year will feature in the final blog. For… Continue reading Good blogs come to those who wait
The prodigal blog returns
It’s true, for a moment i didn’t think i’d ever write another blog again. Having peaked with the best story of the Year Abroad so early my recent lack of blogs has been primarily due to the knowledge that i’ll never trump (ugh) it. Nevertheless, with so much going wrong in the world (as per)… Continue reading The prodigal blog returns
James Brown, Teacher of Teachers and Master of Luck
Now I’m not saying that I should be on Game of Thrones but with a name like that I think I deserve at least a cameo appearance. My life since moving to Italy has been a rollercoaster, a true whirlwind of new experiences and adventure. A part of me expected the first few weeks to… Continue reading James Brown, Teacher of Teachers and Master of Luck
A tale of woe and living in the afterglow
The year abroad so far has been a pretty sweet deal. To those that don’t know, don’t care or don’t remember my contract states i am not to work more than 12 hours a week with a monthly salary of ‘€ way too much’ i must admit this first month has been fairly comfortable. Thankfully… Continue reading A tale of woe and living in the afterglow
Spotted dick, a little homesick and talking too quick
It is an odd combination; believe you me I wish the first part of title was not a part of this blog post but it’s just too amusing to ignore. I’ve battled with myself, weighing up the pros and cons of including it but after sharing it with a few people it’s become apparent that… Continue reading Spotted dick, a little homesick and talking too quick

Sorry lads i’m a sucker for a pun. So I’ve been in Italy for just short of a week at this point, although only having arrived in Salsomaggiore on Sunday afternoon i have been thrown in at the deep end. But i live to tell the tale and things are only going to get easier… Continue reading Buzzfeed? More like Mustread
