    Details below 👇🏼 Most visitors to Scotland stick Details below 👇🏼

Most visitors to Scotland stick to Edinburgh and Loch Ness, but some of the country’s most unforgettable places are a little further off the typical route.

So if you’re planning a Scotland trip, these spots prove there’s so much more to explore! 

📍 Camusdarach Beach - white sand, turquoise water, and views across to the Small Isles. It feels more Caribbean than Scotland on a good day.

📍 Albert's Cairn, also known as Albert's Pyramid on Balmoral Estate. A quiet, unexpected landmark with sweeping views and a bit of royal history.

📍 Skara Brae - older than the pyramids and incredibly well-preserved. This Neolithic village gives you a glimpse into life over 5,000 years ago.

📍 Dunnottar Castle - clifftop ruins surrounded by the sea, and easily one of the most dramatic castle settings in the country.

📍 Bow Fiddle Rock - a striking natural sea arch that’s often missed, with incredible coastal views and dramatic waves.

📍 Jacobite Steam Train - one of the most scenic train journeys in the world over the Glenfinnan Viaduct. It’s the real-life Hogwarts Express from Harry Potter.

📍 Craigievar Castle - a fairytale pink castle said to have inspired Disney. One of the most unique castles in Scotland.

📍 Clashnessie Falls - a beautiful waterfall just a short walk from the road on the NC500, set against rugged Highland scenery.

📍 Smoo Cave - a dramatic sea cave on the North Coast 500 with waterfalls, cliffs, and a slightly wild, untamed feel.

📍 Landmark Forest Adventure Park -a fun and unexpected stop in the Highlands with treetop walks, quirky attractions, and something a little different from the usual itinerary.

Save this for your Scotland itinerary 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

We just spent a weekend @lakenonawavehotel and it completely changed how I see Orlando.

If you’re looking for a unique Orlando hotel that isn’t all about the theme parks, The Wave is it. It has incredible restaurants, colourful art installations, stunning cocktail bars, a beautiful pool, and in a neighbourhood you actually want to explore.

Here are some of my favourite things from our stay:

🍴 Bacán – a Michelin-recommended restaurant that’s absolutely worth booking @bacanlakenona
🍃 The sculpture garden – such a unique spot for a morning stroll
🎨 The entire hotel feels like an art gallery
🛌 Smart room features (the toilet even has its own menu) 
🍸 Cocktail bars like the Living Room + Nectar Room (both stunning) @nectarroomlakenona 
👙 Relaxing by the colourful pool
🍳 Beautiful brunch at Garni, loved the French café feel @garnilakenona 
🚶‍♀️ Walkable to Lake Nona Town Center (or take the Beep shuttle)

It’s relaxed, more elevated, and perfect for a couples getaway in Orlando, a girls trip, or a Florida stay that feels a little different. Would you stay here?

    Details 👇🏼 Most people visiting Port Canaveral st Details 👇🏼

Most people visiting Port Canaveral stick to the usual plans… but one of the most unique things you can do is see Florida’s Space Coast from above.

We booked a private helicopter ride with @getyourguide and it was so incredible. 

We chose the Port to Pier option, and boarded our flight at the port by Exploration Tower.  You fly over cruise ships coming in and out of port, see NASA launch sites from above, and follow the beautiful coastline past Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. We even spotted lots of wildlife along the way like dolphins, sharks, manatees and pelicans. 

Comment HELICOPTER and I'll send you the booking link 🚁 or head to the link in my bio.

It’s such a fun, different way to experience Florida… and definitely one to add to your bucket list.

    Check them out 👇🏼 Most visitors to St. Augustine Check them out 👇🏼 

Most visitors to St. Augustine usually stick to the main area around St. George Street, but some of the city's most fascinating history is just a short distance away.

If you want to experience the oldest city in the U.S. beyond the crowds, add these stops to your itinerary and SAVE this for your trip to St. Augustine.

📍 Great Cross at Mission Nombre de Dios - this 208-foot cross marks the site where the first Catholic mass in what is now the U.S. was held in 1565

📍 Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche - tucked behind the mission grounds is the oldest Marian shrine in the U.S.

📍 Castillo de San Marcos - the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S. Everyone sees the fort, but many people don't actually go inside

📍 Fort Mose Historic State Park - the first legally sanctioned free Black settlement in the U.S. 

📍 Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park – yes it's touristy, but it's where the Spanish first settled in 1565, and where St. Augustine began

📍 St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum - climb 219 steps for one of the best views in the city.

Which stop would you head to first?
