About Me

Hi! 👋 My name’s Emily and I’m “The Gallivanting Teacher”.

If you’ve landed on this page it’s either because you want to know more about me or you’ve done so by accident. Here’s some information either way.

I am an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher and have worked in 4 different private academies across Spain. Five years ago I took the leap to move to Spain since I managed to get a job here. Truthfully, I had no intention of moving to Spain, I actually wanted to move to Italy. But I guess you could say “fate” stepped in.

Throughout the years, I’ve learnt a lot off different teaching styles through the different academies I’ve worked in as well as finding different activities and tips online. By trialling all of these, I’ve managed to find what I like to do and what works for me.

Last year, I was finally able to make one of my “dreams in Spain” come true and I bought my car. Her name is Cilla and she is a wee white Citreon C1 with a teal roof. She is my pride and joy… basically my child. Since getting her I’ve done a lot more travelling and getting to see new places.

Since I’ve got all these amazing teaching tips, tricks and activities as well as all the different places I’ve visited (and will in the future), I figured it was time to share it with the world! 🙌 Not only on this blog but I’ve also created an Instagram account and Facebook page for you all to follow and get some more ideas and look into my life!

I hope you enjoy reading all the articles I write about my life, book reviews, maybe even find your new favourite activity for the classroom or even feel inspired to visit the places I’ve visited 😁
