Over the past few years, Iceland has absolutely exploded – and I’m not talking about their (many) volcanoes! In the blink of an eye, Iceland has gone from an off the beaten track travel destination to one of the most coveted tourist hotspots on the planet. For this reason, many intrepid adventurers may be discouraged […]
Ever since I can remember, I have been a night owl. I’d choose staying up until 6am instead of waking up at 6am any day of the week, however, some travel experiences mandate a painfully early wake up call. Not all such experiences are worth the missed hours of precious slumber, but some are so […]
My travelling journey started in 2012, when I was barely 19 years old. Seven years later, I find myself closer to thirty than twenty (mildly terrifying) and even though seven years may not sound like a lot, in that time, I have achieved so much. I’ve travelled to all seven continents, explored over 60 countries […]
After exploring the magic of Skye, it was time for us to return to Edinburgh. Of course, Scotland being Scotland, there were a bunch of beautiful pit stops for us to make along the way. Back on the mainland Pretty much as soon as we arrived back on the mainland we had said farewell to […]
The Isle of Skye is one of the most sought after travel destinations in all of the United Kingdom. The largest and northernmost isle in the outer hebrides, Skye is famous for its rugged landscapes, picturesque towns and undeniable natural beauty. I first visited Skye in 2012 and fell head over heels in love. For […]
I absolutely adored my time in Inverness, and as a result, I have literally zero photos of the city itself! Dan and I didn’t feel much like city sightseeing, so instead we ate a lot of delicious food, drank a lot of delicious coffee, enjoyed our absolutely phenomenal AirBnB and when we felt like exploring, […]
When we decided to visit Aberdeen, I gotta admit, it wasn’t the city itself that held appeal. Instead, Aberdeen promised to be a fantastic base location to explore some of the amazing castles that can be found in the Aberdeenshire region. Craigievar Castle Our first stop was the utterly Disney-esque Craigievar Castle. Built in around […]
There honestly aren’t any words to describe just how ecstatic I was to go back to Scotland. I first visited the home of ‘Nessie in 2012 and quickly fell head over heels in love. I can still remember getting into Edinburgh and stepping off of the airport shuttle and feeling an overwhelming sense of home […]
The last time I sat down and actually wrote down my bucket list, it was 2017! Two years later and I have actually managed to tick off quite a few more of these items, and added even more things to the list, because of course I have! So, here is an updated bucket list with […]
Day six of of our Ring Road adventure involved driving from Akureyri to Blönduós. There aren’t a tonne of noteworthy stops on this drive, so we decided to get off of Route 1 and take the longer and windier scenic route along the coast. Ólafsfjörður We never intended to stop in Ólafsfjörður, but when we […]
