  • I had no idea Dundee was such a creative place. It’s not immediately obvious, but this city has a secret scene of pop up shops, concept stores, galleries and exhibitions in the most unlikely of places. You just need to know where you need to look! Now I understand why it’s a UNESCO City Of Design. Whilst it’s not quite a city break destination yet, it would be a perfect day trip from Edinburgh (or anywhere else in Scotland), especially when the V&A Museum opens in September. Thanks to local Dundonian @jenniepatter who took the time to show me around her city and show me all the best spots. I’ll be sharing them on the blog soon! Have you been surprised by a new city recently?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ #ScotlandIsNow #Spon
  • Did you know I am 1/4 Scottish and 1/4 Dutch? My Dad is from Edinburgh and my Grandma still lives here, so this city is much more familiar to me than most places I visit. It’s one of the rare places in the world that I could actually picture myself living, and I fall more in love with it every time I visit. Edinburgh has a pride and a spirit that you can feel in the air. It’s in the cobbled streets. It’s in the secret stairways. It’s in the narrow, Medieval closes. This has to be my all time favourite street in Edinburgh, Victoria Street. The coloured shop fronts curve around a cobbled incline which leads up to The Royal Mile. Swipe to see the same street from below. Have you visited Edinburgh or is it on your bucket list?

  • Hello from Dundee! I’m in Scotland with @visitscotland and @crosscountryuk on a dual-destination solo adventure. Today I’ve been exploring creative Dundee, which has just been named as Top 10 Destination to Visit in Europe in 2018 by @lonelyplanet. The city has completely regenerated itself and will soon be opening the highly anticipated @vadundee (the only other V&A Museum outside of London). Oh and if that’s not enough, it has a glorious soft, sandy beach just 10 minutes drive from the city centre (Broughty Ferry). WHO KNEW Scotland had such beautiful beaches!? I’m sold. Watch my day in Dundee on IG stories. Have you visited much of Scotland yet? #ScotlandIsNow #Spon ✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
  • Lets face it; cruising isn’t all that cool or popular in our generation, but why? Imagine seeing 6 countries but unpacking just once. Imagine waking up in a new city or on a new island every morning. I absolutely loved my first cruise experience with @princesscruises and genuinely, it has opened my eyes to an entirely new concept of travel. If things don’t change soon, we millennials (and the younger ‘Generation Z’) could miss out on a pretty incredible way to travel and see the world. Cruising may not be for everyone, but for people who love to travel, it’s something you need to experience at least once. It’s time to start thinking outside the box, so I’ve blogged about 11 reasons to try a cruise in your 20’s and 30’s. Would you try a cruise? 🛳⚓️ #DiscoverWithPrincess #liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2vPVm
  • Travelling by cruise ship was an entirely new concept for me, one I was intrigued to experience but also quite unsure about. I’ve learnt that travelling by cruise ship is chance to “scratch the surface” of multiple places, rather than getting to the heart of one. It’s a different way to travel. If you’re also intrigued, come and find out what it’s like to explore the Baltic Capitals by cruise ship - featuring Tallinn, St Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen!

  • My Scandinavia vlog is now live on YouTube! Let me show you around Tallinn, St Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen in just 7 minutes. Check out this preview then tap the link in my bio to watch the full vlog. Do you want to see more video content from me? I’d love it if you could subscribe to my YouTube channel and comment with your feedback ✨💛 Thanks to @princesscruises for the epic trip. (🎶 Summer Tides by Oshova)
