Travel With Me // Adventure in the Scottish Highlands

February 29, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

The Scottish Highlands…. Where do I start? This region of the UK was as breathtaking as I ever imagined it would be and more. The mountains create scenic backdrops that make you feel like you are driving through a watercolor panorama painting rather than a real landscape. The scenery seems untouched, and as you drive further… continue reading

Travel With Me // Edinburgh

February 22, 2016 by Emily 1 Comment

Edinburgh was one of the cities I was most looking forward to visiting during our big European adventure. Before visiting, I dreamed of regal castles full of history, charming buildings holding enchanting stories, and romantic streets filled with bagpipe music. That is why I made sure to book one of our longest stays of the whole trip… continue reading

Travel With Me // Winter in England’s Lake District

February 8, 2016 by Emily 1 Comment

England’s Lake District is dreamy. It is like nothing I ever expected. Even in winter when it is supposed to be the least scenic, my jaw was dropping as our tour van wound through the gorgeous green mountains dotted with sheep and charming English villages. We still want to go back in the future when the… continue reading

Travel With Me // 24 Hours in York

January 31, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

For our next stop on our big adventure, we needed to choose a city to split up the journey between Watford (where we stayed to do the Harry Potter tour at Warner Bros. Studios) and England’s Lake District. We were totally overwhelmed with the number of options, but we ended up picking York because it sounded… continue reading

Travel With Me // Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter Tour

January 24, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

After staying in Bristol and taking day trips to Bath and Oxford, we headed back to London to catch a train to Watford, a small town that many probably haven’t heard of before. Why did we book a night in an unknown town? Because it is next to Leavesden, the town famous for being home to the The… continue reading

Travel With Me // A Day in Oxford

January 15, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

For our day trip to Oxford, we traveled in by train from Bristol just as we did for our day trip to Bath the day before. The train journey to Oxford was much longer than to Bath (about an hour and a half), but it was still very convenient and worth the savings in hotel prices…. continue reading

Travel With Me // Bath

January 10, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

After leaving London for the second stop on our big adventure, we took the train to Bristol which was our home base for the next three nights. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Bristol City Centre right next to the Bristol Temple Meads train station. It was the perfect location as we took a… continue reading

London - A One Week Itinerary

Our first stop on our grand European adventure was a one-week stay in London with my family. The main motivation for this family trip was to see my brother Ben march in the London New Year’s Day Parade with his high school marching band, but we turned it into a a week packed full of amazing… continue reading

Travel With Me // Peru – Sacred Valley Tour

October 15, 2015 by Emily 2 Comments

Once we arrived in Cusco, we checked into our hotel and quickly made arrangements for the next day to get to Ollantaytambo, the town where our train to Machu Picchu would depart from. The same driver who picked us up from the train station agreed to make the drive, and offered to take us to… continue reading

Travel With Me // Peru – Train Journey to Cusco

October 1, 2015 by Emily 8 Comments

Our next adventure in Peru was a ten hour train ride north from Puno to Cusco. We had really been looking forward to this day because we had heard so many great things about this train ride from our friends. I’m so happy we chose to travel from Puno to Cusco by rail because we were… continue reading
