An area of professional sports in Europe (specifically mid-level, semi-pro team sports like volleyball, handball, basketball, rugby, etc) that isn’t talked about much, if at all, is unemployment.

“Home isn’t a Place, it’s a Feeling”
Living abroad has been a way of life for Mark and I for 11 years now, (for me, since I was 18) it’s just our life, and as cliche as it sounds “home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling”. We choose this life every year, with every new contract, even when it’s not easy, and … Continue reading
This Life
Mark and I had our first summer together in seven years, can you believe that? Well, if you are a volleyball wife or girlfriend, or the partner of any professional athlete then you’ll know where I’m coming from. If you listened to the Mo Farah interview after he won Gold in the 10,000m at the … Continue reading

Not just from my blog but from myself. I’ve expressed a few times on here how I feel about my … Continue reading

Homesick Much?
So for the past wee while I have been feeling quite homesick, I usually go home regularly for one thing or another over the course of the year, it’s one of the reasons I love France, as it’s not that far from Glasgow. This year though I haven’t been home much at all, the last … Continue reading
My Blogversary
Happy Blogversary to me! I started blogging a year ago today. Yeah, on Valentines Day 2012. We must have been having a fantastic day for me to stop whatever it was we were doing to sit down and write my first post! Haha. In all honesty, Mark and I aren’t much into Valentines Day, I … Continue reading
