What a wonderful adventure I had in Spain. Lots of delicious food: paella, patatas bravas, seafood and lots of tapas. Lots of cultural experiences: a beautiful Flamenco show and a bull fight.

While we were in Scotland we visited Dumfries, Glasgow, Isle of Skye, Inverness, and Edinburgh. It felt like every…

As we were beginning to prepare for this 18 day trip I tried to grasp the entirely new culture(s) I’d be experiencing while abroad. Through countless google searches, Pinterest boards and asking around I felt more prepared, but still quite uncertain. Growing up on a cattle farm and immersed in the agricultural community I quickly…
