My days spent traveling in London and Scotland were filled with nothing but the best memories. We spent a lot of time with our book bags strapped up and cellphone in hand trying to capture pictures. We rode many of trains, walked lots of miles, and climbed LOTS of stairs with those book bags, but…

What an awesome 10 days. From sight-seeing, getting to know the others on the trip, to teaching primary children at Troqueer Primary School. I have definitely grown as a person by being opened to this slightly new culture. I also have a new appreciation for God’s creations and how different the world is from Georgia.…

We all do it… no one admits to it though! You take 50 pictures of the exact same thing just so you can get the perfect trendy angle. Being an agricultural communication major, I have learned to appreciate the value of a great picture and lively social media. Perfect lighting, prime angle, steady hands are…

HELP WANTED! How do you condense ten fantastic days on the road in breathtaking Scotland down to one blog post. CONCLUSION: You can’t! So here is what I’ve decided to do, take the best moments and break them down into a few different categories: sweet memories, shock-factors, laughable moments, and lessons learned. Sweet Memories: Little…

Two years ago I was challenged by a friend to physically write down (pen to paper) my bucket list. Yeah, I had always had an idea of what I dreamt of, places I wanted to go, things that were “must do” items in my brain, but physically writing things out had not yet happened. So…

Endless green scenery, historical towns, and an endless supply of potatoes sum up the Scottish culture pretty well. Ok, well that’s definitely not all Scotland has to offer, but with a new cultural experience around every corner, it’s hard to choose just a few to write about! I’ll start with how absolutely beautiful Scotland is.…
