Ben A’an & Loch Katrine | Hiking Scotland
A few weeks ago, my best friend woke me up at 7am on the dot, with a very loud, bright “Guten Morgen” (she’s not German, I don’t know why she was speaking it). If anyone else did this to me,…
Exploring the Scottish Borders | Hiking Scotland
If you follow me over on Instagram, you might have noticed that last month all of my photos came from outside Edinburgh. I was visiting my parents (and exploring!) in the Scottish Borders for a few weeks. While staying there,…
What I’ve Read During Lockdown
What haven’t I read really? Ok, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But with all this free time stuck at home, I’ve read far more this year than I have for a long time. I used to read non-stop as…

Havana, Part 2 | Cuba
So first of all, check out part 1 of my Havana trip for my first impressions of the city if you haven’t yet. We spent four days there in total, at the end of our 3 week Mexico…
Havana, Part 1 | Cuba
The final destination of our 3 week Mexico and Cuba trip was Havana – or La Habana, as it’s properly called – the Cuban capital. We spent 4 days there, so I’m splitting this post into two parts, rather than…
