We went on our first trip to Scotland and couldn't get enough! We went back to complete more of our bucket list items in this beautiful country. We explored a couple of the same areas, but added the West Coast and South Scotland, also known as the Scottish Borders.

After a visit to Edinburgh with one day in the Highlands, we were dying to see more of the Scottish countryside! We decided we wanted to road trip for the freedom to visit smaller towns and to stop and take in the views whenever we felt like it.

We had seen stunning pictures and wanted to experience the moody Scottish highlands.

We really wanted to go to England and Scotland, because so many of our favorite stories take place here, or were written here. We saw a lot of "storybook" places on our trip, like places where Harry Potter was inspired, where Pride and Prejudice was filmed, and where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien hung out. We were also really excited to see the beautiful rugged landscape of Scotland (and were not disappointed!).

My husband is of Scottish heritage and we love the landscape of the countryside and seaside villages.

The Scottish Western Isles - particularly Isle of Skye - tend to show up on everyones bucket list. They are wild, rugged, otherworldy, and a nature-lover's playgorund. Being so close by, we decided to take a trip when our best friend from the States visted us here in Scotland.

I had a work event in Belfast and convinced a friend we needed to meet for kilted yoga in Scotland

My first trip to Europe was with my Dad as a high school graduation trip. London was our first stop!

Our daughter was study abroad for the semester and spending the last part of her trip in London. We went over the pond to spend Thanksgiving with her. While not the traditional way to spend the American holiday, we still manage to get caught up in the holiday spirit and London was an incredible place to be this time of year!

I’ve been to London several times and have always wanted to tour Hampton Court Palace—a piece of historic architecture that combines medieval and baroque styles, numerous gardens, and a royal tennis pavilion that still welcomes local players. However, with Hampton Court being somewhat removed from central London, we failed in two previous attempts to visit the site. On a recent trip to Morocco, we had a two-day layover in London, so we thought we’d give it one more try!

My mother lived in London for a year when she was a college student, so I thought it would be fun to go back there with her. I've always wanted to visit the West End as well and see a play in the theatre district.

I was in Paris when some friends of mine, who live in England, told me they'd be in London for a weekend holiday. It's only a couple hours away by high-speed train, so I decided to join them on a whim, as I'd never seen the city before. I arrived at King's Cross station (of Harry Potter fame) and changed my Euros to Pounds for a four day exploration of the major tourist sites in one of the most influential cities in the world.

I had dreamed about visiting London since I was a kid. I had a quick stopover there as I was making my way to Dublin. British people seemed so similar to me, an American! Yet, their accents were absolutely delightful. I was ecstatic to meet some British people and eat some fish and chips.

We wanted to explore the city before heading to the Cotswolds for a wedding my husband was in.

I currently live 2 hours away from Edinburgh in the Northeast of Scotland, and have frequently visited Edinburgh for fun, to stay with friends, and for the famed Fringe festival each August!
