    Scottish Foods and Drinks to Try When Visiting Scotland

    March 30, 2022

    Planning a trip to Scotland and want to enjoy Scottish food and drink? This blog was written with you in mind. After living in Scotland for a year, I’ve compiled this list of recommendations for visitors of the traditional Scottish foods and drinks. Scottish food you have to try: Haggis, Neeps & Tatties When in Scotland you have to try Haggis. It’s a uniquely Scottish dish that isn’t available in most other countries. Some people are hesitant to try it because they don’t know what’s in Haggis. Haggis is a blend of various sheep organs with a meatloaf-like consistency. I recommend ordering it with neeps(yellow turnips or rutabaga) and tatties(potatoes).…

    Find the Ultimate Irish Hospitality Experience in Dublin, Ireland

    March 17, 2022

    I was able to visit the city of Dublin back in 2019. It was the weekend after St. Patrick’s day and it seemed the city was still celebrating. We found a bar for live music and they gave us St. Patrick’s day hats that were leftover. I found Dublin to be incredibly welcoming and really enjoyed my time there. When looking for the ultimate Irish hospitality experience, it can easily be found in the capital city: Dublin, Ireland. Irish Hospitality Ireland is known for its world-class hospitality and tourism industry. I’m sure anywhere you visit in Ireland could offer you an amazing Irish hospitality experience. However, if you’re only visiting…

    8 Foods You Have to Try at European Christmas Markets

    December 20, 2021

    European Christmas markets are my absolute favorite. Wandering artisan booths, filling up on delicious foods, and drinking up the quaint, market atmosphere always brings a smile to my face. Christmas markets pop up in every major city across Europe near the end of November and continue until the end of the year. Sadly, for us in the US, we can’t all get to the European markets every year. Thankfully, there are some Christmas markets in the US that bring a little bit of Europe to us during the holiday season. This year, I’m exploring the Chicago Christkindlmrkt, which is the most authentic European Christmas market outside of Europe! While I…

    11 Things You’ll Miss From Home When Studying Abroad in Scotland

    June 3, 2021

    If you were to move from Wisconsin to Scotland, there would be plenty of differences. Some of them would be significant and some would be minor. Some might even turn into adventures and lessons learned about Scottish culture. Here are the things I missed about Wisconsin while living and studying in Aberdeen, Scotland: Being Close to Family This one is a no-brainer. Not being able to stop at your sister’s house or check in on your mom can be hard while being away. You can still chat over the phone but sometimes it literally feels like you’re worlds away. You’d give anything to see them in person. The hardest part…
