home sweet home


I've been having a great time recently. I've been at home for 3 months now, time has sped past me like a gust of wind! My time has been filled with mini adventures, resulting in a month of camping weekends full of fun, friends and fabulousness :)

I've been travelling the world for the last two years absorbing the cultures of some amazing countries but I have realised recently how easy it is to forget the beauty of home. I made it my mission to see more of Scotland and really see what I've been neglecting.

The Beautiful Isle of Skye.

Eilean Donan Castle, Skye.

It's almost impossible for me to see all the people I want to in 3 months so I decided to create a facebook event and invite all my friends to join me on a road trip to Skye. I went this weekend with some of my best friends and my big sis. It was amazing. Everything that could possibly go wrong in 48hours, did! It was all part of the adventure though. Our epic journey resulted in one night sleeping in the car, two burst tyres (on the same car), one AA call out and after a long car journey one friend missed their train stop due to a malfunctioning door. Good times!




This place is amazing!! It is the oldest Castle in Scotland to be continuously inhabited by the same family. 'The Graffiti Project' was launched here a few years ago...

'The idea was simple and original: take the vibrant and often transient art form of Brazilian graffiti, out of its predominantly urban context and apply it to the ancient and permanent walls of an historic rural castle in Scotland.



The graffiti project sparked a burst of media attention followed by a mass of private parties on the grounds of the castle. Recently an annual festival was started that embraces the spirit of the Graffiti project and provides fun times for music lovers.




I head back to my life at sea on Saturday! Im looking forward to it, but I'm going to miss Scotland and all my wonderful friends and family. My new ship is the Dawn Princess. I join it in New York! Yey!

I'd better get packing.

Ciao for now xx
