Paris is one of those cities that somehow always lives up to the expectations. It’s beautiful, a little chaotic, full of life and somehow manages to feel both elegant and completely relaxed at the same time.

Last March I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Scotland’s beautiful capital, Edinburgh. Scotland is known for many things including the love-it or hate-it music made by bagpipes, delicious scotch whisky and the wonderful national animal, the unicorn. There are many beautiful areas to explore in Scotland and the capital city is in the…
