Review: Outlandish Scotland Journey Part 1 and 2
When I read Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” series (Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager)*, I thought to myself, “I really want to go to those places and see those things.” I often wish it was easier to find stuff in Scotland but there’s so many things in Scotland that it can be hard to know where […]

Brussels, Belgium: Solo Interrail Part 2
Seconds after writing this and publishing it, I found out that Brussels airport and metro have been attacked in the last couple of hours by terrorists and it’s still unfolding.

Wanderlust: Hawaii
It’s Wanderlust Wednesday… time for me to go look at a place I want to visit, then write about it. Today, I’m going to talk Hawaii. I’ve wanted to go to Hawaii since I was a kid. I had a Hawaii Barbie, and I remember being captivated by the little “background scene” they do on […]
