Edinburgh is no stranger to cozy cafes, pubs, coffee shops… pretty much any store you can think of gets the cozy treatment here. As a remote worker, I love finding coffee shops to work from in new cities, and just coffee shops in general–delicious hot cocoa, freshly made pastries, unique coffee options, comfy corner booths…
We’re back for round two, everyone. During my second month-long trip to Edinburgh, I got to try some more delicious foods and drinks in the city, and I truly find myself craving this stuff on a regular basis. Edinburgh consistently has served me some of my favorite meals, snacks, and drinks, and each time I…
As a travel photographer, I’m a sucker for an Instagrammable storefront probably a bit more than the next person, and there is surely no shortage of them in a city as gorgeous as Edinburgh! Nearly every street you walk down will have something either stunning or quirky for you to take a snapshot of, from…
In my 1.5 years of traveling abroad full time, I’ve gotten very accustomed to planning very chill day trips. A lot of my time is spent in busy cities, or being busy with work, or being stressed about something or other, so when I plan quick visits to new places, I try to keep those…

“Edinburgh surely has no shortage of great food across the city. From lively upscale bars with smoking dry ice cocktails, to cozy little pubs with chunky chips and local beer on barstools, Edinburgh has an incredible selection of all types of cuisine no matter what you’re in the mood for. “
“If you’re not a meat-eater, or are super easily squeamish, you might want to steer clear of this blog post. Otherwise, welcome to the weird, wonderful world of Scottish food–particularly the country’s national dish: haggis.”
“One of the best parts of visiting the country was the incredible food you could find pretty much anywhere (at least in the cities we went to). Edinburgh in particular had such a variety of cuisines for every craving imaginable, and I might have said it before, but I truly didn’t have a bad meal there (except one).”
I turned 26 (ew) during the last week in July, and all I wanted for my birthday was to see Scotland–so that’s what we did! Scotland and Ireland have both been at the top of my travel bucket list for many years, and I would’ve been insane not to visit at least one of them…
