I absolutely loved Scotland when I visited earlier this year! I grew up spending my summers in Virginia, and I totally relate to Jen's "coming home" moment. I felt that when I traveled to Scotland and Ireland, like they were places I had been to a long time ago.
Yessss. That is how I feel now. I feel like my entire self is split in two. I always feel cheesy saying it, but it's like my body somehow does recognize my heritage there or something. Every time I hear bagpipes I get teary eyed.
Loved this! Such a fun listen, especially listening to two of my first substack buddies and favourite travel writers here on Substack!
Aw, thanks Janice!! Yes, here’s to Travel Substack buddies!!
