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,…
Braid Burn | Morningside to Holyrood | Hiking Edinburgh
First of all, “hiking” is an exaggeration here, as the Braid Burn is on level ground, so it’s really just a long walk. But for the sake of organisational purposes on the blog here, it’s easiest to include this in…
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…

Arriving in Merida late the night before after the long drive from Palenque, and only venturing out the hotel for food, didn’t exactly let us see much of the town right away! But that theme did sort of continue throughout…
Palenque | Mexico
To put it bluntly, Palenque is a pain in the arse to get to. It’s a long drive from whichever other location you’re coming from. This post cover two days out of our trip, and at least half of each…
San Cristobal de las Casas | Mexico
When most people think of Mexico, they probably think of either dusty, rocky desert landscapes peppered with cacti, or tropical ocean coastlines. What you probably don’t think of is having to wear extra layers of clothing, under the drizzle and…
Oaxaca | Mexico
I feel like I need to preface this post by stating that Oaxaca was definitely Cintia’s favourite place on the whole trip, as she proceeded to tell me every single day after it! I liked it a lot as well,…
