If I had a good experience at a local business during my travels, I am going to tell you about it! 1. HOSTEL: Budget Backpackers, Cowgate & Grassmarket Edinburgh. Sitting […]
My Scottish tips list is short – Scotland is an easy place to travel, and there is not much you need to know before going. 1. Bring a sweater. It […]
Normally in this section, I would (try to!) focus on the main city centres of a country, but Scotland is a place I have spent a lot of time – […]
My first experience of London in 1987 revolved around Piccadilly Circus. I stayed in a cheap hotel there and spent much time wandering the local streets and perusing the markets. It […]
It is true that you could spend months exploring London and not see half of what is available. It is an incredible world class city – history, architecture, the arts […]
We had finally made it to our last destination before returning to Canada after our epic journey – the long way around. From our first destination, Berlin Germany – to London, England. […]
It had been quite a trip so far, flying-by-the-seat-of-our-pants through Europe, the UK and Ireland. Sleep deprived, nutritionally deficient, road weary and entirely grungy, we had really made the best […]
After eating as much as we could of the heavily oiled Welsh breakfast, we headed out into the parking lot. My husband needed to excuse himself as the grease was […]
We had driven for quite a while through the remote Welsh countryside. Now we had passed through Snowdonia and through Gwynedd and were entering the Powys district on our way to […]
The sun was starting to set beautifully over the stone walled farmlands on the outskirts of Snowdonia. I assumed they had the same ‘make work’ famine wall situation as Ireland […]

We travelled the A5 secondary highway through Anglesey for a bit, and then decided to get off of the main road and follow the A4080 ocean side along the moors. Our […]
I had never been to Wales before, and quite frankly it was entirely off of my radar. Thankfully our round-about tour brought us to the incredibly friendly country that is […]
It was not my first time to Scotland, and it will not be my last. If I could, I would pick up my life here in Canada and move to […]
Ayrshire is a picturesque region with winding roads, expansive ocean views, rolling hills, small farming communities and painted white homes – along the Firth of Clyde. The county of Ayr […]
We were ready to head over to Ireland after ripping up, down and around almost the entirety of Scotland, but we couldn’t just head straight to the ferry, there were […]
Fort Augustus is a quaint little village of just over 600, located at the foot of the Loch Ness. We had planned to stop here to eat a meal but […]
We only had a 5 minute drive to the ruins of castle Urquhart – but spent more than four hours sleeping off our two Scottish drinks to get there! I […]
