Pop Up! Scotland

by Corie

Last summer my husband and I ventured to Scotland for a few days. It was a huge treat to see the dramatic landscape, meet some great people, try haggis and get to explore a fabulous new (for us!) country.

A trip to Scotland wouldn’t be complete without touring a whiskey distillery so we opted to go to Dalwhinnie, which is located in the stunning Highlands. It was a perfectly moody Scottish day to sit inside and enjoy a dram and stare at the beautiful architecture!

Travel: Dordogne, France

In the past, I managed to take a trip to Europe once a year…for study or work purposes or for family gatherings. Unfortunately these last few years, I haven’t had the chance to go. I know, how spoiled am I? I don’t mean to whine but I certainly have been dreaming of France these last few months. I miss the food, the people, the fashion, and the cobble-stone streets.

A friend recently sent me a link to this place – Les Jonquilles in the Dordogne – where she’ll be spending a couple of weeks this spring. Browsing the photos made me instantly want to book a trip. I love the simplicity of this home. It’s both rustic and modern and who can resist a typically French white bistro set? I can almost smell the fresh countryside air!
