SCOTLAND
Scotland is the destination that started it all for me. What started as a study abroad semester turned in to a lifelong love affair with travel. I've since returned to explore more of Edinburgh's Old Town, the Skye coastline in winter, and the dramatic drive through Glencoe and the Highlands. These guides cover both the iconic must-sees and the quieter, slower moments that make Scotland the kind of place people come back to again and again — including me. Whether you're planning your first trip or trying to get off the beaten path, you'll find itineraries, where to stay, what to pack, and honest tips for making the most of your time here.

Hi, I'm Jess — a Western North Carolina native now based in Greenville, SC. I've spent years exploring everywhere from the red rocks of Sedona to the single-track roads of the Isle of Skye, and I write about all of it here. When I'm not planning someone's next adventure, you can find me searching for the perfect swimming hole, chasing a good hike, or snuggling up with my pups. I'm also a travel advisor with Fora Travel, a Virtuoso agency — so if you're ready to book, I can help with that too.
