Scotland IV Recap, Part 3 - Eastern Scotland

Here we are again, friends. Time for Part 3 of mine and Ethan's adventures to my favorite place on earth. And in this post, I'll go into detail about my favorite place within my favorite place, if that makes any sense. 🙃

The middle and the end of our trip were spent on the East Coast of the country. I've always been partial to the Eastern half of Scotland for so many reasons - the accents are nicer to listen to, the cities are more ideal to visit, and the weather tends to be better, just to name a few. Not to mention that Edinburgh is my heart and soul. I can't even begin to explain how much I love that city and have since the very moment my feet stepped on its soil back in 2015.

Hi again, friends, fancy seeing you here!

As promised, it’s time for Part 2 of my Scotland recap! It’s a good one, who’s excited?

When I left off in Part 1, Ethan and I were on our way back to Edinburgh. As I said before, I’m saving the wonders of Edinburgh and the the East for post 3 because I have a desire to save the best (and longest) for last. You can thank me later. 😘

Honestly, for this story, I'm not even sure where to properly begin. *deep breath*

In case you missed it, Ethan and I went to Scotland a few weeks ago. We traveled all throughout the country and saw dozens of breath-taking sites and we did it all by car.

I Believe in the Power of Setting Goals for Yourself. What About You?

I Believe in the Power of Setting Goals for Yourself. What About You?

I believe in New Year’s Resolutions. I believe in fresh starts and new beginnings. One year has passed and no matter how wonderful it was, there were always lessons to be learned along the way. When a new year is upon us, I always take a solid look at my life, my attitudes, and my behaviors and think about what things I’d like to leave in the old year for the good of the order. I make promises to myself to change things that I don’t like or that I don’t think suit me and my life anymore - and I when I make promises, I make damn sure to keep them.

Time Away in Tenerife

A few years back I needed some space to think - that happens with me from time to time.

Back then I was living abroad and had the finances and freedom to jet-set at a moment’s notice, I thought what better way to clear my head than a cheeky wee beach holiday? So, that’s exactly what I had in mind when I booked a week’s vacation on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

The Tradition of Trudging For Trees

In case it wasn’t already clear, I am not big into most holidays and anything holiday-spirit-esque.

We didn’t celebrate them when I was young and I just grew up with the mentality that Christmas and the like were more-or-less unnecessary expenses, wastes of time, and stress-causers.

Who Knew That Getting On the Wrong Train Could Lead to Such an Incredible Adventure?

Visiting Zurich, Switzerland was literally a happy accident. I ended up on the wrong train and traveled hours away from Geneva, where I was meant to be visiting. Other than the extremely high train fair, there was nothing about this oopsie that didn’t turn out to be a win.
