Last Sunday, we took a walk to the other side of Edinburgh's city centre to visit a market, bumped into some friends, took a walk into town with them, and grabbed a hot chocolate with a view of the castle before heading home again. It was, given the storm of 2020, a perfect day. It… Continue reading How To Spend The Perfect Sunday In Edinburgh

Photo Friday: Glasgow Street Art & Mural Trail
It's been a while since I did a Photo Friday post, and it's been hard to build up the motivation to look through travel photos when we don't know when we'll ever be able to travel again, let alone with everything that has been going on in our lives personally. On that note, I wanted… Continue reading Photo Friday: Glasgow Street Art & Mural Trail
A Camping Guide To The North Coast 500 In Scotland
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland, with a focus on the famous North Coast 500 route. We were doing it all on a budget, which meant taking my car and camping in a tent as we went. Luckily, camping in Scotland is made even easier… Continue reading A Camping Guide To The North Coast 500 In Scotland
15 Quirky & Unique Places To Eat & Drink In Edinburgh
We've lived in Edinburgh for just over a year now, and in that time I've cultivated a solid list of favourite pubs, bars and eateries. While Glasgow certainly ticks all the nightlife boxes and gets most of the attention on that front, it's for that reason that I'd like to share some of Edinburgh's quirky,… Continue reading 15 Quirky & Unique Places To Eat & Drink In Edinburgh
Glencoe Hikes, Glenfinnan Bridges & Scottish Castles
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland. My friend had wanted to do the North Coast 500 road trip; and being that she had never been to Scotland outside of Edinburgh, I wanted to make sure we hit up some of the highlights of my beautiful… Continue reading Glencoe Hikes, Glenfinnan Bridges & Scottish Castles
2019: My Year In Review
2019 has been all about the next huge step of our lives. It's been about accepting the end of long-term travel adventures and embracing the new adventure of finding our forever home. For us, it was always going to be Edinburgh. We've been low-key planning to move to Edinburgh for pretty much the past decade… Continue reading 2019: My Year In Review
A Festive Weekend In York
York is one of those wonderfully quintessential English cities that manages to capture the imagination in a way that, to be honest, not many English cities do. We first visited in 2017 for a couple of hours, and again this summer for a couple of hours. Seeing a pattern? Us too, and it needed to… Continue reading A Festive Weekend In York
Photo Friday: 40 Amazing Views From The NC500 Road Trip In Scotland
"I can't believe how many mountains there are in Scotland!" my friend squealed as we turned another corner to yet another amazing view. The North Coast 500 had blown both of us away - my friend, because she hadn't visited Scotland outside of Edinburgh and had no idea how beautiful it all is; and me,… Continue reading Photo Friday: 40 Amazing Views From The NC500 Road Trip In Scotland
Photo Friday: The Street Art Of Shoreditch, London
London never struck me as a huge city for street art. Apart from the famous Banksy artworks and the iconic Camden buildings, I couldn't have told you anything about any other murals in the city, or famous street art alleys like you have in Melbourne and San Francisco. But with the rise of the street… Continue reading Photo Friday: The Street Art Of Shoreditch, London
Off-Beat London: A Quirky Weekend In The Capital
A few weeks ago, we jetted off to London for a weekend for the first time ever. It sounds stupid saying it like that; I've been to London more times than I can count (I would guess in the region of 60), yet I'd never spent the night there, and I've rarely seen it before… Continue reading Off-Beat London: A Quirky Weekend In The Capital
