Have you ever heard of a wee Scottish town called Oban? Coming from the Scottish Gaelic word meaning “bay,” this little town sits on the western coast of the Scottish Highlands. On our little Scottish adventure, my boyfriend and I spent seven short hours at this touristy destination. In this post, I would like to... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, When my boyfriend and I chose Scotland as the destination for our vacation neither of us really knew anything about the place. We resorted to a flurry of last-minute Google searches that were all along the lines of “where should we visit in Scotland?,” “best city to visit in Scotland?,” “which is better... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Trains are your friends, well, at least they are in Europe. While on my laptop in Glasgow I started feeling FOMO (fear of missing out) creep in as I scrolled through all of the “best things to do” in and around the city. I thought to myself, how silly was I to spend... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, I am now in Glasgow, Scotland on vacation. There is so much to do and see! This city is so full of culture, history, and life, I am totally unsure where to start. I also have two friends who live in the area. These two lovely ladies are friends from college whom I... Continue Reading →

Dear Reader, I am in Iceland as I write this post. Although I am here for something semi-work-related, I was able to do a few touristy things in the evenings and mornings. A few days ago, I visited a public pool. As you know, public pools come in all shapes and sizes from rectangular holes... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, I have a very interesting job. Some days you will find me in the office before the morning rush hour, other days late in the evening, and sometimes… both (ahh!). Some weeks, I use Saturdays and Sundays to catch up on the work that I just couldn’t get to on the other five... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, There is a quote floating around the Internet that goes: “The Japanese say you have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends and family. The third face, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are.” Perception... Continue Reading →
My dear reader, Today, I learned about fox hunts. Fox hunting is a sport that brings together experienced humans, horses, and hounds in a hunt to chase down and kill an unsuspecting fox. To begin the games, the hounds (note, NOT dogs, hounds are specifically trained to hunt) are given the scent of a fox.... Continue Reading →
