Explore BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham: The Largest Hindu Temple in the Western Hemisphere
Unbeknownst to most, the second largest Hindu temple in the world (and certainly the largest in the Western Hemisphere) sits only an hour and a half’s drive away from Manhattan. The campus is way larger and much more detailed than I expected- even having seen photos and videos before my visit. Once you step onto…

Hotel Review- Tower Hotel: London
With London being as expensive as it is- and only getting pricier- I’m always looking for a good deal on a hotel. During my most recent stay, it was far less expensive to stay in the more Western City of London than anywhere within spitting distance of Westminster. I was pleasantly surprised by the price…

Whisky Tasting and Scenic Views in Scotland’s Cairngorms
A trip to Scotland is not complete without a visit to Cairngorms National Park. Or a visit to a whisky distillery. Luckily, this tour combines the two! Our first stop on this tour was actually at the village of Carrbridge- a gateway of sorts to Cairngorms National Park. This village is a great place to…

Where to Eat and Drink in Glasgow
For the short period of time that I was in Glasgow, I did my best to sample as much of the food and drink as I could. Although I didn’t focus on this during my visit, it’s good to note that Glasgow is one of the most vegan friendly cities in the UK! I’ve never…

Best Small-Group Day Tours Out Of Glasgow
I’ve said it before, but I am of the firm belief that Glasgow is an underrated city! Not only does the city itself have wonderful attractions, but it also makes for a great launching point for day tours out to the rest of the country. I selected a few of my favorite tour options that…

First Time At The Fringe Festival
The Fringe Festival- the world’s largest performing arts festival and one of Edinburgh’s most popular annual events. If you’re traveling to Edinburgh in August, the Fringe is omnipresent and unavoidable. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival began as an unofficial spin off of the Edinburgh International Festival, and quickly grew to become the world’s largest performing arts…

Scotland By Train
One of the nice things about visiting Scotland is that they have an extensive train system to transport people around most of their major cities with ease- no cars needed. This is especially convenient as Scotland drives on the left side of the road, and I’m much more comfortable driving on the right! ScotRail The…

Hotel Review- Inverness: Inverglen Guest House
Despite how often I travel, I very rarely find the opportunity to stay in a B&B. Inverness, for some reason, seemed to have more B&Bs than hotels! Somewhere between an Airbnb and a hotel, B&Bs- or guest houses- are typically singular houses with each room being rented out to different guests. An on call host…
