Today is our final day in Scotland, and the last day of our trip, which is upsetting, to say the least. It certainly has been a bittersweet day. I took the morning as a self-care day because I desperately needed to recharge after roughly two weeks of pretending to be an extrovert. I took some […]

Day 10: I Finally Get a Scotch Egg
Today began with our final couple of media visits. First up was the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We met with Oliver at the French Embassy on the Royal Mile and spoke with him at length about the history of the festival and what it takes to put on one like it. The Fringe Festival is a […]
A Magical Photography Day
More magic was made today along with many photos. The day started off at two lectures. One lecture was with David Anderson. David is a Scottish commercial photographer who mainly works with portraiture. However, he did not talk about his portraiture. He focused on an alcohol project he did for Shackleton. His photography is aesthetically […]
Magic in Edinburgh
The beginning of the day started off in Manchester Airport where everything seemed unorganized and hectic. I thought it was a start off to a bad day besides the strawberry lemonade I had from Costa. The flight was short and so was our bus to the hotel. Our hotel is very small but has a […]
Day 9: Short Flight to Scotland
So long Manchester, hello Scotland! We left our hotel this morning and headed to Manchester Airport, which was fairly close to our hotel. For some reason, the coach that we took to the airport was the fanciest bus we have had the entire trip. It was a double-decker bus with lots of room for storage, […]
Day 9: …and I Would Walk the Royal Mile
What an interesting morning we had. The group spent the night literally ten minutes away from the airport, yet the bus that came to transport us there was the biggest and nicest of any of the others we rode on. We had two floors and enough space for everyone to have 2+ seats to themselves. […]
Day Nine: Doddling Around Edinburgh
For most of this trip, the coach buses we’ve had were exactly what you’d expect. Today, however, the coach bus that was ordered to take us to the airport definitely outshined the others. We arrived in style to the Manchester Airport in a huge, luxury coach bus. Unfortunately for us, our trip in the luxurious […]
Day Nine: The Laddie Wha Lived
When getting up this morning, I had to actually fully pack my suitcase for the first time since arriving in England. This is because this morning we packed up and boarded a flight to get us into Edinburgh, Scotland. The flight was easy and quick. We spent a total of 45 minutes between taxiing and […]
Edinburgh: International Man of Mystery
Today we left Manchester and jetted off to Edinburgh, Scotland for the final days of our travels. I must say, the Manchester Airport is honestly a nightmare. Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, but I felt like I was in a different dimension. The flight was short, and before I knew it we were in […]
