Edinburgh’s Most Instagramable Spots
I'm really not surprised that I loved every minute of my time in Scotland. After my charming visit to Edinburgh, I was excited to see what this first-timer's visit to Glasgow and the Highlands had in store. I think what surprised me the most is how easy it is to see so much of the country. After arriving in Glasgow, we explored the city for the day and then head out to the Loch Lomond and the Highlands the next morning. It was all a very easy day trip, made especially easy by our tour guide, Andy, and her Mini Kilt Tours.

Exploring Edinburgh, Scotland in 48 hours
Scotland has been on my bucket list for as long as I could remember. And no, it's not just because I've seen all the Harry Potter movies approximately 15 times each. (Though it might have recently moved closer to the top of the said list because of a certain male lead in Outlander.) Exploring Edinburgh, Scotland has been on my bucket list because of the history, the food, specifically, I wanted to try haggis, and the possibility of adventure.

York Travel Diary
After my visit to Manchester, I hopped on the train to York. Like Manchester, I had never visited York but I had grand Jane Austen dreams the minute York was added to my itinerary. It's been a dream of mine to visit the English countryside and this is the closest I would get to it. I couldn't wait!

Manchester Travel Diary
When Visit Britain and Visit Manchester asked me to travel to Manchester, U.K. for a short weekend trip, I jumped at the chance. 1. because obviously, 2. I have a soft spot for the U.K. and 3. I got to fly there on one of my favorite airlines, Virgin Atlantic. This is definitely one of the cooler partnerships I've ever done, so pop some popcorn and pour yourself some wine because you're coming to Manchester with me.right.now.

London Food Diary: vol. 2
I'm SO excited to tell you about our third and last day in London. We really managed to cover a lot of territory in 12+ hours so put on your stretchy pants and get comfy because there's a lot of food in your very near future. Like a lot of food.

London Food Diary: vol 1
Believe it or not, I went to London immediately after my Iceland trip. It's rare that I get to just hang when I'm visiting a city. Typically I'm on a mission to see everything, do everything, eat everything, which is pretty much an impossible task. Since this was my fifth trip to the motherland, I primarily focused on the later... eat everything.
