I leave for Edinburgh in 3 short days! There is a palpable buzz around the house as I attempt to get everything in order before the trip, as the excitement is setting in!
On Monday evening, I fly from D.C. to London, where I will *fingers crossed* get my student visa stamp and transfer to my flight to Edinburgh. I am actually arriving in Edinburgh a day early, so shortly after arriving I will check in at a hotel and drop my bags before exploring the city that evening. Hopefully, I can wake up early on the 8th to receive the keys to my flat from reception. I am living in a 5-person flat with other students, but I am not yet sure whether they are Edinburgh students or other study abroad-ers.
As soon as I arrive in Edinburgh, the pictures will begin flowing in, so stay tuned for some shots of the city! In addition to this blog, I will be running an Instagram account for my travels, titled “emlynburgh,” a name I wish I could take credit for but cannot. I hope you all enjoy!
