Going From Always Being Single to In A Relationship

2014. Yes, 2014 was the last time I had a boyfriend. Until about a little over a month ago. To say my life has flipped upside down in a good way would be an understatement. I am learning how to be a girlfriend all over again. Since none of my past relationships worked out, I’mContinue reading “Going From Always Being Single to In A Relationship”

Why I Fell in Love With Scotland

Let me set the scene: After a four-hour train ride from London to Edinburgh, I stepped onto the platform at Waverley Station.

Oh, your 20s. A time when some people are settling down and having babies, others are partying all night and sleeping around, and then there are the ones that are somewhere in the middle, like me.

During my first solo international trip, I booked three separate day tours, back-to-back-to-back.

What To Do On A Rainy Day While Traveling

You can’t believe it. It’s the perfect day, not a cloud in the sky. You can’t wait to start your day and explore the outdoors and sight-see your way around the city. You are rushing to get ready. You don’t notice the shift in the weather outside. You are running out the doors of yourContinue reading “What To Do On A Rainy Day While Traveling”

How To Take Pictures When Traveling Solo

By now, traveling solo is a walk in the park for me. I have gotten used to it and actually prefer it now. But, it did not start that way. I had to learn the ropes and make mistakes to get where I am today. Setting out on my first adventure alone, it didn’t occurContinue reading “How To Take Pictures When Traveling Solo”
