I’m finally getting around to writing about my trip to Nashville! My boyfriend’s company is based there, so the two of us spent a week in Music City in early December to attend the company’s holiday party. I’ve been wanting to go to Nashville for a while—it’s such a trendy destination—and was glad to have the excuse to finally make it out there. The city turned out to be so different than I imagined, though! I’m sharing some of the activities we did below and then some general thoughts on Nashville at the end of the post. I also have an outfit guide planned for next week that I’m very excited about. Continue reading “What We Did in Nashville”

Hope you enjoy!  Continue reading “21 Things to Do in Glasgow, Scotland”

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from Edinburgh and a list of fun activities and things to do in the city. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, located on the Firth of Forth near the North Sea. The city has a rich history dating back to the 12th century and has both a medieval Old Town, complete with narrow alleys and a castle that is home to Scotland’s crown jewels, and a New Town, with neoclassical architecture and spacious gardens. I visited Edinburgh a handful of times while studying abroad in Glasgow, as the cities are just a short hour-long train ride apart. I learned quickly that there is a great debate among the Scottish regarding which of the two cities is better… While I prefer Glasgow myself, I understand the allure of Edinburgh—its charm and beauty certainly go unmatched!   Continue reading “Edinburgh, Scotland Travel Guide”
