Forecasting in Scotland is a wee bit like throwing a dart at a board while intoxicated and blind-folded: it’s anybody’s guess what will actually happen which is likely why there’s a relatively famous expression of, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” Having looked up the weather for Stirling the morning before I […]
Happy New Year! I hope the festive break treated you all well, and you were able to enjoy some home comforts over the holidays- although, with it being over three years since I flew the nest, the couple of days I spent back home with family over Christmas were more than enough for me! (The […]
Welcome back to Dundee guys! How you all had a great festive season! My break was great! I got to go back home and even spent a week in Sri Lanka. Ahh, how I miss the warmth and sunlight! But to be fair, I was very happy to come back to Dundee, all refreshed and […]
The other day I recalled that although I had lived in Dundee for a year and a half now I hadn’t visited the small town across from Dundee, Newport-on-Tay. I knew the trip might take a while, as I planned on walking it via the Tay Bridge, but it was well worth the walk for […]
Only three days until I travel home to see family and friends for a whole festive month, but who’s counting! I am so, so happy to get home and see everyone. You know that feeling in your chest that makes you choke up a little when you think about seeing everyone for the first time […]
ATTN: Every single American to ever become a student of University of Dundee.

On September 13, 2016 I moved to […]
Writing for a friend… Just kidding, I actually did do all this stuff. I’ll admit it. But I wasn’t as lucky as you to have someone writing a post about all the things you should and shouldn’t do while in Dundee to learn from. So, from here on out, if you happen to find […]
Sorry if your field trips as a kid weren’t as life changing as mine. Okay, maybe not life changing, but they may have been what I looked forward to more than anything! Wait, actually I think it was birthday parties, but field trips were a close second… As a kid I clearly remember field trips to […]
About an hour’s train journey away from Dundee, lies a small town called Pitlochry, home to a forest that for a whole month of every year for the past fifteen years turns into a magical light show. This year’s theme was ‘Shimmer’, featuring disco balls, flashing lights, beautiful music and a giant tree fairy. Tickets […]
Well, I have spent nearly 6 weeks in Dundee now. I have seen the city, around the city, some parts of the out skirts. But as a person who is new to the whole European Continent, I really really wanted to discover the country, the continent, and force myself to do stuff I would otherwise […]
