A Trek to Scotland

Being an American citizen, and having spent the greater portion of my life in that particular country, you can imagine that I was more than a little excited to visit an actual castle. Sure, I have seen an abundance of photos and films of them, but there is nothing quite like coming face to face with such a unique part of history.

The Myth of the Monster

The history of the Loch Ness monster is intense. Whether you believe in the myth or not, it is inevitable that you have come across come literature on the subject. As for my position, I do not believe in old Nessy. To me, it is more than likely just one of those things that spiralled out of control through history. I do not claim to be an expert on the matter, nor do I care to try.

What To Do In Scotland

Scotland is a superb place to visit because when you do so you will find a nation with a rich culture that is ancient at the same time as being vibrantly modern. Here are my top tips for how to enjoy your time in this exceptional country:

Glasgow – The Family Outing

If you are visiting Glasgow as a family, then there is plenty of cultural attractions for everyone to enjoy.

The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art for instance, is the perfect place for children and adults to learn about people’s religious beliefs and customs. They can also discuss and explore age-old themes – life, death and the hereafter.

A Fascinating Person I Met

I was in Equador for my once a year well deserved holidays. It is a tropical country that has no season. It can be in the middle of the winter and the temperature would be the same as in the middle of the summer. The food was absolutely amazing, it was very beautiful, it had many colours and the taste was like an explosion of new tastes inside my mouth.

Luxurious Austria

First-class restaurants, international flagship stores, day-spa retreats and top-ski resorts. Austria is the perfect destination for bon vivant travellers that appreciate the pleasant, pretty and tasty things of life.

Visiting Scotland

        If you are thinking of planning a trip to Scotland, the first thing to remember is that you really want to be visiting in the summer as the winter is freezing and rainy. Because of this, most of the tourism industry and events that are most enjoyable occur between the months of May and September. You can still visit in the winter however – you could enjoy a spa break, some quality football matches or a hike across snowy mountains – but every activity that you could do in the winter you could still do in the summer and it would be far more enjoyable because of the weather. No one really likes the rain.
