A few weeks back, as we do, Ethan and I came home from work on a Friday afternoon and got the itch to get lost. We made a goal to visit all the neighboring cities around us within about a 4-5 hour driving radius and as of now, we only have two left - Buffalo and Columbus.
Read More*Sigh* I owe you lovely readers an apology for being MIA for so long. It’s been a combination of many things - primarily a lack of time, motivation, and creative energy. But, with that said, I’m carving out more time in my schedule now to sit down and write for me, and for you, too! So, here’s to new beginnings and starting fresh! Thanks for your support and patience - hopefully this will be the last apology I make for a while. If I have it my way, I’m back for good, and I usually get my way. 😉
Let’s throw it back to a few weeks ago and catch up on some of the things you’ve missed, shall we?
Read MoreHere 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.
Read MoreHi 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. 😘
Read MoreIt's the moment that so many of you have been waiting for, folks! It's time for post 1 of 3 about mine and Ethan's Scottish adventure! I'm so excited to share all these amazing stories with you and take you along on our beautiful journey with us. It really was a remarkable trip - the absolute best of my entire life - and I'm looking forward to reliving it again while I write this. I can't wait for our next adventure - any guesses where we might end up? Leave them in the comments below!
Read MoreWhen I was doing my Master’s in Scotland, I had the pleasure of taking on a research project for a small museum in the almost the northern-most part of the country, in a little town called Helmsdale. Ever heard of it? I didn’t think so.
Read MoreA while back, Ethan surprised me with my very first adventure down south for our 6 month anniversary. We spent a few days in Gatlinburg, Tennessee enjoying the mountains and another day out in Asheville, North Carolina enjoying The Biltmore Estate.
Read MoreWhat’s more breathtakingly beautiful than Niagara Falls frozen over?
Simple answer: nothing. ♥️
Read MoreDo you ever just feel nostalgic for places you’ve been?
Lately I’ve been feeling a little homesick for Scotland - particularly Glasgow, Scotland. I lived there for a year when I was getting my Master’s degree from Strathclyde Uni. Glasgow is such a unique city. In my opinion, about as authentic Scottish as you can get. While I’ll always have a special place in my heart from Edinburgh, the rough and realness of Glasgow will forever be a third home to me. I have so many fond memories of Glasgow and it was amazing to relive so many of them in preparing this post for you now.
Read MoreI love creating content. I’ve always been creative, but when I discovered my love of writing at University and started documenting my life on my first blog, I realized that I love telling stories for the world to hear (or read). If I’m honest, I’ve always loved telling stories. My parents say that I used to stand up in public places as a little child and tell stories to the whole room. I guess things haven’t changed much since then, have they?
Read MoreMy final stop on my photographic recount of my adventures in Italy brings me to first and last place I set foot while I was there. It might surprise many of you to know that I didn’t - as often done - save my favorite for last. The city of Florence was a total surprise to me in so many ways. I loved the sights and spending time with my BFF in the city she’d lived in for months by this time, but I can’t say that I completely fell in love with it. Ask me about my trip to Florence sometime and I’ll be happy to share my very candid opinions of it from top to bottom.
Read MoreYou’ve probably seen images of Cinque Terre before. The villages in the Italian hills with all the colorful buildings ring a bell?
In the middle of my trip to Italy, Nicole and I were craving some warm sun and ocean air, so we hopped a train to the stunning and famous Italian Riviera.
Read MoreI am so lucky to say I’ve gotten to set foot in all the wonderful places that I have. One gorgeous location that I am always truly humbled to remember that I ventured to is the historic and beautiful country of Italy. So many people dream of visiting Italy and I have to pinch myself sometimes when I think about the fact that I got the pleasure of spending over a week there two years ago.
Read MoreDid you know that I studied in Seville, Spain for a short time? Most people don’t.
Yep, I took classes at 5 different universities over the course of the 5 years and one of them was in sunny, gorgeous, Seville, Spain.
Read MoreIt took me 24 years of my life to go to Frankenmuth, Michigan.
No, that wasn’t a typo. For those who have never heard of it, Frankenmuth - pronounced exactly how it’s spelled - is a small Germanic village in the middle of Eastern Michigan.
Read MoreI'm just another Millennial taking on life one cup of coffee at a time. My blog Espresso Myself is a place for me to be me, for myself, and for everyone else. Write on!
