Welcome to the World of Witchcraft and Wizardry

February 01, 2019 by Lauren Wilson in UK

The city of Edinburgh is full of history and fascinating architecture. We were told the city was full of charm, and we were not let down. We took a Harry Potter tour to see the sites that inspired JK Rowling to write her books, toured the Edinburgh castle, walked around the beautiful parks, and of course did our fair share of eating and coffee shop exploring.

The Fairytale Lands in the Isle of Skye, Scotland

January 27, 2019 by Lauren Wilson in UK

After hiking 96 miles in the awesome West Highland Mountains, we hopped in a rental car and drove to the Isle of Skye. We were not expecting better landscapes than the mountains we had just hiked, but we were surprised by the unique natural beauty the Isle of Skye offers. We packed a lot into our 3 days there, from castles to lighthouses, to beaches and hiking to cool rock formations, waterfalls, towering cliffs, and even a land where fairies could exist!

Hiking in the Atlas Mountains and Exploring Imlil

December 31, 2018 by Lauren Wilson in Morocco

We went to Morocco at their hottest part of the year, so we planned some stops where we could escape the heat. The five days we spent in Imlil and hiking the Atlas Mountains ended up being the most memorable part of our trip. We immersed ourselves in Berber culture and the Atlas Mountains when we went on a 3 day hiking trip. It was full of breathtaking views and strenuously long hiking days.
