Plans are overrated
For as much as I tried to plan out an amazing, magical, once-in-a-lifetime trip to Scotland…. man. Life be lifin’, y’all. I was not expecting to be felled by Covid for a good portion of it, and then struggling to recover for pretty much the entire rest of it! So now I’m in the final

Ten Days from Scotland
How am I ten days away from another international adventure???? I feel like I’ve barely unpacked (metaphorically) from Ireland! I know I haven’t talked a lot about the Scotland leg of my 2024 adventuring. That’s because, I think, it still doesn’t feel real. I spent a lot of time earlier this year thinking I might
