After eight weeks living in Spain, I'm beginning to feel a little more settled - but I'm also beginning to notice something else. I'm changing.

In this vlog I reflect on my first experience of the San Juan festival, my first English-language book club in Alicante, and how reading The Song of Achilles unexpectedly led me to ask some deeper questions about change, legacy, wisdom and what it means to become a better person.

This isn't a book review or a travel guide. It's simply a walk, a conversation, and a few reflections on this new chapter of life.

I'd love to hear from you in the comments:
Has a book, a conversation or a move to a new place ever changed the way you think about yourself?
