I'm Back - No Thanks To Delta and KLM

I'm back!!

And by back I mean both in the country and back at it with blogging! Exciting, eh? Have you missed me?

Let me begin by saying I'm sorry for my lack of content over the last few weeks. I went on vacation and promised myself that I would be 100% present with Ethan and in Scotland while I was away. Then, when I returned state-side, Ethan I both caught a post-travel cold that knocked us both out for over a week. Ugh. But now that I've recovered, I can happily report that I have a whole list of exciting things coming your way, so buckle up.

Seattle is So Much More Than Just Starbucks, But it's That, Too.

Seattle, Washington was never on my list of must-see cities. In fact, when given the opportunity to visit it a while back, my chief - and possibly only - concern was getting to visit the original Starbucks.

I traveled there on a school trip and stayed for only a few days, but despite my short visit, I really feel like I got a feel of the city. And what a city it is!

A Haunting Halloween at The Whitney Mansion

I love everything about Halloween - the mounds of sugary candy, the extravagant decorations, and the avant-garde costumes! It’s all just extra AF. I can barely contain my excitement for October 31st to roll around. I started decorating our apartment with haunted purple and orange trees and wreaths with lights and ghosts in early September!

Thanks For Everything, Mackinac, See You Next Year.

I’m not one for rituals and traditions - never have been. It’s just not how I was raised. But, I’m dating the King of we-do-this-every-year, so, I guess I better get used to them.

Reliving Red Flannel Day

I don’t often talk about my past - including where I’m from. It’s not that I’m ashamed of what’s behind me and what got me where I am today, I guess I just don’t often see the relevance in brining it up.

I Think I Found My Happy Ending... In Northern Ireland.

I Think I Found My Happy Ending... In Northern Ireland.

Ireland and I have a weird history together. The first time I visited, I came away insisting that I felt little desire to return. That sentiment didn't last, obviously. Not even a year later and I threw caution to the wind and back to the Emerald Isle I ventured. I was already abroad in Scotland for the holidays, so the travel there was a hop and a skip, literally. So, I threw some spare cash together and embarked on my second time across the Irish Sea.

"Wherever I Wander, Wherever I Rove, the Hills of the Highlands Forever I Love."

It's been some time since I last posted. For that matter, it's been a long time since I had something to post about. But now that I'm back in the country I love, let the travel blogging commence.

Something in My Gut Tells Me I Need to Stay as Far Away From the Isle of Skye as Possible, and This Time, I'm Going to Listen.

You know that feeling you get when something just isn’t right? The hairs on the back of neck stand up and you get a cold chill down your spine… you should always listen to that intuitive voice inside your head that warns you of the unknown because you’ll find that often-times, without explanation, that voice is on to something.

"[Stockholm] Captures the Heart of Every Visitor..." Including Mine.

Well, that’s it then - time to close yet another chapter in the book that is my #studyabroad adventure. My flight leaving Stockholm departs in just under 2 hours and I’m pretty sad to say goodbye - Sweden’s been good to me.
