Goldilocks Lives in Leamington: And Other Tales of University Life in England

"Entertaining, amusing and highly relatable... a must read for any student planning to study overseas.” — Sarah Jackson, Blogger

“Engaging, fascinating and witty... a humorous coming-of-age discussion about college life and self-discovery.” — On My Kindle, Book Reviewer

What happens when you leave everything familiar behind and land in a place where even the simplest things — the food, the weather, the humour, the unwritten social rules — feel faintly bewildering? You write about what it truly feels like to find your footing in a foreign place — the missteps, the surprises, and the moments that stay with you long after graduation.

Goldilocks Lives in Leamington is not your typical study-abroad memoir. Part coming-of-age story, part cultural adventure, and entirely entertaining, this collection of warm, witty personal essays captures the wonderfully messy, occasionally baffling, and unexpectedly joyful reality of life as an international student at a leading English university.

With self-deprecating wit and a sharp eye for the absurd, Geetanjali invites you along for a non-traditional college experience that includes joining a Rock Gospel choir, singing with a Portuguese band, navigating crushes and campus politics — and fending off a sword attack in the middle of the night.

Whether you're about to embark on your own student adventure, or simply want to relive the gloriously chaotic years of university life — this one's for you.

Funny, honest, and quietly moving, this is a book about the particular kind of growing up that only happens when you are far from home — and the unexpected places where you find belonging.
