Scotland

Looking back on my time in Scotland, I have to say that it was one of, if not the most amazing place I've visited. I've long wanted to make a trek there because I feel an intense, indescribeable connection to the people, the landscape and the heart of the country. Having been there for 10 days gave me a better understanding of myself, and why I'm so intense and passionate about everything I do. The wild look in everyone's eye, the crazy sense of humor and lack of fear in people's personalities made me feel like I had found home. I will go back and hopefully sooner rather than later.

Scotland is a land of giants and fairies, of bens and glens, of whisky and pub culture and a landscape that conjures up raw emotion and elation. It's a land of passionate, proud people and a long, rich history that anyone would be happy to share over a pint of Tennants and a plate full of haggis and tatties. It was the first logical stop on this tour of mine and I would beg anyone to go there. You won't be sorry. Just be ready to laugh constantly and be prepared to shed a few tears.

I'm sure I could have taken better notes on this trip, but I think it was the perfect place for me to decompress after so many months and years of working and saving and weeks of packing and planning. It also gave me the courage to move on to my next adventures with confidence. I just wanted to rest and meet people and laugh, but my memories and brochures should spin a pretty good yarn. I've tried to break it all up so I could add photos and like I said, the ones of me should be coming. LATERS!
