I really debated what I wanted to do today - yesterday was… another tiring day, wasn’t it… so I debated between hiking in Broadford or trying my luck and bussing out to Old Man Storr. I decided I wanted a travel-free/bus-free day haha. It was pouring rain this morning, but in true Scottish fashion it tapered off to a mist by around 9:30am. I tried my luck and headed off to Broadford Bay and walked up along the coast towards Irishman’s Point. Even though it wasn’t raining anymore, I still got soaked - I was walking through grass paths and fields so all the water from the overgrown plants was drenching my legs and my shoes. My hiking boots may be water resistant but after an hour and a half in a field my toes were ... read more

I angered the Scottish weather gods when I mocked their misty rain yesterday. I angered them big time lol. I headed up to John O'Groats today - the most north-eastern tip of the UK mainland. It's common to do the trek from here to Land's End in the south-west, crossing the full length of the UK. I figured I was up here, so it's def worth the journey. The bus ride was rather lovely - as you could guess, I saw mainly sheep mixed in with the occasional lone house. I debated going to Dunnet Head which is the most northern part of the mainland but it was a 2.5 hike and busses come only every 2 hours... so... I didn't fancy waiting almost 2 hours in the middle of a field when it's raining. Ok ... read more

My life omg… my life hahahaha. Today was one of those days that tested my patience but also turned into a very people friendly day. As we’ve well established in my journeys, I don’t have to seek out conversations - they always find their way to me. (Sorry it's quite long... it was a long day.) Ok, so first off at Holyhead I had a long wait for my train… and I made myself a new friend. His name was Keith. Keith was a little drunk. And by a little drunk… I mean a lot drunk. Like smelled worse than a brewery drunk. He was a friendly drunk at least… it was like conversing with a 5 year old. Here are a few snippets of our interaction: (*sitting and staring at me for a good 5 ... read more

Alright, so begins another adventure! I’m half asleep while writing this - I have come to the realization that pulling proper all-nighters is (ok, should be) a thing of the past lol… I am getting irritable with age ;) I had a weird travel path this time ‘round: Toronto/Copenhagen/Dublin, but that ended nicely since I was left with a super long layover to explore Copenhagen for a bit. I really liked the city - gorgeous buildings and the history is just everywhere. Of course I had planned a few things I wanted to see, but in usual fashion I jumped off the metro on a whim and just roamed around aimlessly - the best way to get introduced to a city that is. Roaming, roaming, roaming. My fav thing I happened upon was the #HappyWall. It’s ... read more

So, to celebrate the beginning of my career and I guess being officially an adult now, I went to Disney haha. It's really fun seeing the similarities and differences between the Disney parks. The layouts are all essentially the same, with the same rides, but some of the rides are tweaked and different characters are to be found, stuff like that. And the shows are different. That being said, my goal today was pretty much find the differences so I could experience them and go see the shows :) I got there before opening which was good because I got to roam around a bit and take photos (and listen to the awesome music because it's all Disney songs.) They had a food area that was Jungle Book themed and they were playing the elephant march ... read more
