At the start of November, my boyfriend and I were lucky enough to spend a few days on the gorgeous sister island of Ibiza: Formentera. I'd visited a handful of times previously, hopping over on the ferry for the day when friends and family were visiting, each time in the height of summer. I knew I'd only ever experienced a snippet of the island, so I was really looking forward to a good few days of exploring, away from the crowds of the peak tourist season. As the island is so small, and a majority of the roads are not suitable for heavy traffic, there's restricted vehicle flow on the island during summer. But, from October 1st - May 31st these restrictions are lifted! So, we boarded the 9am car ferry from the Puerto de Ibiza, waved adiós to the moody clouds above Ibiza and soon arrived at a slightly sunnier Puerto de Formentera.

Ibiza is often dubbed a hedonistic playground. While it can certainly live up to this name, it´s become the place where I´ve embraced a calmer, more grounded way of life.

September. A long awaited month on the island. The temperatures are much more welcoming, the beaches are no longer fully packed and the intense energy of high season has come to an end. For most seasonal workers, it´s a time of winding down, and of contracts drawing to a close. In contrast, for me and the many teaching staff on the island, it´s a time to step it up a gear as we prepare for another academic year.

Kicking off my teaching career amidst lockdowns and navigating life in a new country during a time when the world stood still is what has inspired this blog...
