I still get a kick out of sharing my stories, adventures and misadventures with the world on my blog (or maybe just my mum, who knows), but lately for quite awhile now there has been that spark missing. One might call it “lack of inspiration”. However, after long days and nights pondering as to where exactly […]
Surprises and New Beginnings
Hello again! Did you miss me? It’s been a while, but I am back with some exciting news. I’ve been lying low while everything gets “sorted out”, but if you follow me on social media you probably have already got wind of the fact that some big changes happened in my life over the last couple […]
Where to – Physically and Metaphorically – in 2015
The best part of January has been spent on a much needed technology detox. It wasn’t exactly self imposed, it was more situational. The detox started in Sydney when I piled in the car with my friend Clive and reached a friend’s property outside of Taree in NSW. Hello rolling hills on an 100 acre property, […]
Returning Home: The Art of Being a Regular Person
It’s now been a month since C and I returned to Australia to spend the summer in the sun with friends and family. We haven’t been here long and already we have slotted into society here. There is a new bar here, and the shop over there is different, more people have kids, and many have […]
Ch-ch-changes: Farewell Logroño
If you know me in person or follow me on social media you may have got wind of the fact that I am no longer in Spain. Okay, so a girl is allowed to take a holiday from a country, but the truth is that C and I have moved out of our house in […]
Intrepid Travel Season Three: It’s A Wrap!
During the last two weeks of October every minute took 15 minutes, and every hour took 6 hours. At least, that’s what it felt like. I was doing my last tour of the season, two weeks from Madrid to Barcelona with a group of nine super cool travellers from Australia, Canada and the UK. From […]
Today I Say Goodbye to Gluten
I don’t talk about myself too much here, at least, not in this sort of way. But it’s Monday, the first day of a new week, so it’s time to tell a story. I have to make a proper life changing decision. One that is hopefully, going to be for the better. The idea of […]
12 Things I’ve Learnt Thanks to 12 Months of Blogging
The middle of last month it was my little blog’s first birthday. Only I didn’t realise it at the time, in fact, I completely forgot about this momentous occasion. There is a good reason for this. When I started Gastronomic Nomad on wordpress.com (yes, complete with the wordpress.com ending) I didn’t actually imagine anyone would actually be […]
Lately I have been eating…V2.0
It’s that time of the month again. The one where I want to share something interesting with you, but the realisation that the interesting things that have occurred in my life lately have mostly just involved, well, food. From the hills of Galicia, to the heat of Andalucía, but not forgetting the laid-back pace of […]
Lately I have been eating…
Lately I have been eating… a lot. I mean, that’s not really anything new. But I really feel like I have been eat, siesta, eat, sleep, eat, catch train, eat, walk around city, eat, sleep and repeat. Just throw in a glass of Rioja, a shot of Pacharan or a sneaky Gin and Tonic, and I […]
