Hola, I'm Anna

Spanish teacher, Andalusian Spanish coach, former au pair and former Erasmus student in Andalucía 🇪🇸

When I arrived here at 18, I thought years of studying Spanish had prepared me for real life. Then I realised nobody had warned me about the speed, the accents, the cultural differences or how overwhelming it can all feel.

I’ve now been living in Andalucía, teaching and helping young people navigate Spanish and Andalusian life for years.

✨ This guide contains the advice I wish somebody had given me before I arrived ✨

Not the generic stuff you’ll find on university websites or another packing list. The real stuff. The things that make the difference between spending months feeling like an outsider and feeling confident, connected and fully immersed in your experience abroad.

Whether you’re preparing to arrive or you’ve already landed and you’re thinking “why didn’t anyone tell me this?”, you’re in exactly the right place 🧡
