My final installment of my trip to Scotland! Welcome.
We spent the remainder of our time in the Highlands in the Isle of Skye, searching for Nessie along Loch Ness, and eventually making our way to Inverness. By this time we were very comfortable with our fellow travel buddies making the journey that much more enjoyable. Continue Reading
For my second installment of my trip to Scotland, I decided to overload you with images of Edinburgh. Sarah and I spent our first and last nights in Scotland in this beautiful city. When we arrived, it felt as though we had stepped back in time. It was around 12:00 am and all the building were lit in such an intriguing manor that it made me already want to begin exploring.

“…and I’ll be in Scotland afore ye!”
Happy first of April to all the fools out there!
I can add another country to my list in 2016! Always a great feeling. Scotland is such a beautiful country that I had to take a look for myself this past Easter weekend. This being the first of three installments about Scotland, I might as well jump right in and start at the beginning. Continue Reading
HAPPY EASTER!
Since I am currently in Scotland and cannot be with my family this Easter holiday, I decided to write a post about a family tradition we share.
During the Summer months, one of my top memories in California has been our yearly camping trips. When my brother and I were younger, we used to head up to Eel River with multiple families annually. The older we got, the busier our schedules became {as they do}. We now keep it local and drive out to Hendy Woods to sit around the campfire and roast marshmallows. Continue Reading
This past weekend I took the train up to Manchester to visit some friends and do some exploring. The last time I had been in the city of Manchester was about 10 years ago and I only remember snap shots of my visit. I stayed with our family friends of many years, all thanks to my mother’s love of England and her extended time living abroad {I wonder where I get it from}. Continue Reading
This past weekend I took a trip to Windsor to visit the famous Windsor Castle. I’m actually quite surprised it’s taken me this long to see my first castle in the United Kingdom, but it happened nonetheless. It was another gorgeous afternoon. The sun was shining and the contrast of the bright castle walls against the sparkling blue sky was enough to make me want to purchase the full entrance into the castle with audio tour included. So that is just what I did. Continue Reading
Today I took a quick ride into town to exchange {and purchase more} clothing items for Bali next month. The countdown is on, three weeks to go!
A couple of wonderful things happened today. Continue Reading
Firstly,
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!
I am proud of the opportunities I have seized in my life and the outcomes to which they have lead. I encourage all women to take advantage of every opportunity they come across and venture through every open door to find where it leads. Even if it isn’t what you had expected. Continue Reading
We’ve all dreamed of being Julia Roberts in Notting Hill {we’ve all seen Notting Hill correct?}, and the other day I was able to live out this fantasy.
I made my way down to Notting Hill from the Notting Hill Gate Underground Station. The walk to the Portobello Road Market is very accessible and easy to follow. Before I even stepped foot in the market, I was already snap happy. I don’t think I put my camera away once. Continue Reading
We were blessed with another sunny day today here in London. Although Winter seems pretty content with kicking her feet up and staying a while, I can tell Spring is quietly approaching. The streets were packed on my way to the Camden Market. The high street was a spectacle in itself. A combination of mainstream shops, vintage/flea market shops, souvenir only shops, and {weirdly enough} tattoo parlors lined each side of the road. Incredible, gigantic 3D artwork was displayed on almost every other building. Continue Reading
