Pre-Adventure and visa stress
Back in September last year I packed my whole life into a 20kg suitcase and departed for ten months in the sunny, south-eastern city of Alicante in Spain. Having studied Spanish for the past two years at university and spending three months au pairing in Madrid whilst on my gap year (sorry I mean gap yah) I felt quite confident about moving abroad but realistically no amount of research or planning will ever fully prepare you for such a unique and enriching experience. Despite having previous experience of living abroad it is still incredibly daunting thinking that you have to pack up your whole life and squeeze it into a suitcase!
