I travelled alone so I was very restricted about what I could do as a single female. I couldn't swim, unless fully clothed and with local women. The diving and snorkelling was supposed to be the best in the world but, as I was on my own, I had to miss out.
These last two months in Spain have given me new insight into Spanish history and culture. I may not have been to Africa, India, China or Australia but I am certain that my time in Spain was unique.
I had planned my elective in Hong Kong but it fell through at the last minute, so I spent my time in Hammersmith. The experience was worthwhile and probably more relevant than that of my friend who was having a great time in Tobago! In some ways I do regret missing out. I've travelled since qualifying but the chance to spend two months overseas probably won't come again until retirement.
