People always ask me...
Should I study abroad?
They want to go abroad, but they aren’t sure if it’s for them. If they can handle being so far off in a different culture, or they aren’t sure they if they can afford it. (Or a billion other reasons, I’ll just respond to the most common).
What I say: Do it. It’s worth it. Everyone who doesn’t do it but wants to regrets it. Most of the...

Hi there… I know its been forever but with everything going on in real life I haven’t had much time to think about blogging. Sorry. It looks to have settled down now, but my grandmother still isn’t doing well. So I’ll be adding some stuff to the queue now to last for a while and hopefully there won’t be another long absence.

She was released but then her sister (my great aunt who was almost like a second grandmother and lives with my grandmother) got pneumonia and was hospitalized the day my...

But there are three train stations in Edinburgh. Coming from Glasgow this is how you will encounter them:
Edinburgh Park
Edinburgh Haymarket
Edinburgh Waverley
Edinburgh Haymarket is usually just called ‘Haymarket’.
This can be confusing for non-natives. If you want to go to downtown Edinburgh, when the castle and Royal Mile is (you know the tourist area) then you want to go to...

swingingchandelier asked: Hello! I love your blog! I'm traveling to London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow with a friend for two weeks! We leave a week from today! We're planning to do a lot, but want to fit as much in as possible. Do you think it would be sensible to take the train one day from Glasgow to Stirling and one day from Edinburgh to Dunbar? Are these places we should definitely see? Do you have any...

Since I’ve came back from Scotland my grandmother and great aunt have both come down with pneumonia and had to be hospitalized, they live together so anything one gets the other gets as well. An aunt and uncle have had it as well but they, being younger, have been able to avoid the hospital. My grandmother was able to come home but my great aunt is in I.C.U. - I’m awfully worried about...
