Edinburgh: Arthur’s Seat

Edinburgh was quite good. it is probably not my favourite so far but it was good. Our Airbnb was cool/weird. Every room had its own different room. The living room was in a different area than the kitchen, they all had a door. The Airbnb was my favourite so far because they have so many locks. I love that because I feel way more safer.  The one thing I didn’t like was my bed was right beside the front door....

Edinburgh, Scotland: The Real Mary King’s Close

Country number 4 out of 27. Edinburgh was great! It was so cool to see the city under Edinburgh, hiking, and many more stuff! We were in Edinburgh for 5 days. Our apartment was not the nicest but it was perfect for what we were there for. The first it was just a chill travel day. We took a 30-minute flight from Belfast to Edinburgh. The day consisted of watching Candance Nationals cheering on my friends and chilling on my...

A Magical Place Called Edinburgh

All expectations of what I thought Scotland would present us were blowin’ out of the water. Edinburgh is simply magical! Our VRBO was 15 minutes from downtown with a bus stop at our front step.

Once entering Old Town, the heart of Edinburgh you are whisked away into another world: charming...

Belfast: Giant’s Causeway

(“I definitely was not scared.”) ;).  Our apartment had 3 locks so nobody could come in. Me and my sister had to share a bed. I had some good sleep, but my sister didn’t. I have always been told that when I sleep I always twist and turn. So my sister could not...

If The Streets Could Talk: Belfast

Belfast, Northern Ireland. If a city could talk, this one could tell a story. You can feel the animosity and see the wounds of the city: the 45′ peace wall, freedom corner, murals of fallen “soldiers” and the list goes on. You can tell it has tried to move on but Irish people hold tightly to their past. It is very different than Dublin, as the city has adopted more Western building styles. Not sure if it is better, but...
