Now that I have returned home from my trip to Scotland and the United Kingdom, I can say without a doubt that my absolute favorite moment was seeing Stonehenge. Before leaving, several people had described it as “just a big pile of rocks.” I was apprehensive about visiting because while I have always wanted to…

The first week of our journey to Scotland and the United Kingdom primarily focused on the required teaching component of the trip. After arriving in and touring London for about a day, we headed north to a small town in Scotland called Dumfries. We were to stay here for about a week and teach at…

I have been abroad four times in my life, twice while in high school – almost ten years ago! – and twice in the past two months. While packing for this fourth go-around, a study abroad to Scotland, I recalled the first time I traveled out of the country: I was headed to France to…

The first full day we were in Dumfries, we were supposed to go to the primary school and attend their assembly. We were going to experience that and then get a little tour of the school and figure out the plan for everyone teaching a lesson. Because of the Corona Virus and all the unknown…

London! We left Atlanta around 6:45 PM and landed in London around 7 AM. The flight was really long, and I only managed to get about two hours of sleep the entire flight. Food on a plane is a bit strange, but surprisingly not that bad. Once we got to London, we went straight to…

The few weeks before our trip I was a nervous wreck. I was trying to make sure I was packing everything I needed without over packing. We were told to take a hiking backpack as our suitcase. At first, I was upset about this, but I was so thankful for it. It was so much…
