Growing up, I always knew I wanted to see the world.  I finally took my first trip abroad when I studied in Madrid for a semester in college, followed by two months of backpacking around Europe.  After that, I continued to explore, at first returning to Europe and then eventually making my way to other continents. When I wasn’t traveling, I was always thinking about where to go next.

And then, on my first trip to Scotland, I experienced something that had never happened to me before.  Instead of thinking about the next destination, I found myself not wanting to leave Scotland.  When I eventually returned home, I immediately began planning another trip to Scotland.  Scotland has had a profound effect on me.  While I continue to travel to a variety of places, the extent of my affection for Scotland is undoubtedly obvious in my storytelling.
