Emily, UK & Ireland Specialist

Emily fell in love with England in 2007 when visiting family in the Cotswolds. Ten years later, the infatuation still flowers as she shares her travel expertise with others and strives to stimulate the passion and euphoria that travel has provided her.

Since her first visit to England, she has continued trotting the globe, spending extended time studying in Spain, England and Australia. In 2014 she lived in London while studying the historic and contemporary leadership throughout the UK. While she loves the hustle and bustle of a city, her favorite place across the pond is the tranquil countryside of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, where she would be perfectly content taking a leisurely stroll through the lavish gardens and sipping tea on the terrace.

When she's not gallivanting around the world, Emily exudes her boundless energy running along the Charles River, hitting hard at Title Boxing, and grabbing coffee and brunch with friends.

Scotland

I recommend visiting - Edinburgh

Scotland

After years of hearing rave reviews, Edinburgh exceeded all of my expectations. What I love most about the city is how simple it is to get around. The city itself is immensely walkable and because the majority of its attractions, restaurants, shops and hotels are all within the central district, it's quite easy to adapt and navigate without a guide or map.

The amount of activities are endless, whether you're interested in a food tour through the old cobblestone streets, a ghost tour venturing into the underground vaults beneath the city, or visiting historical sites like Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile.

My favorite spot in all of Edinburgh is the very top of Arthur's seat. Through some huffing and puffing, I conquered the climb to the summit and was immediately rewarded with magnificent views of the city and surrounding mountains.

Ireland

I recommend staying at - Culloden Estate & Spa

Ireland

The Culloden Estate and Spa is one for the books. Located away from the hustle and bustle, just ten minutes outside the city of Inverness, the Culloden Hotel boasts expansive views overlooking the moors. Encompassed within the spacious property, the hotel exudes intimacy and exclusivity. The staff members are extremely courteous and friendly, taking genuine interest and concern in each guest and their experiences.

Not only is the service impeccable, the hotel provides guests with a true welcoming and home-from-home experience. After busy, active days, I really loved spending my evenings snuggled up by one of the many fireplaces in the lounge, embracing the atmosphere and ambiance. My favorite part of the stay was starting my days at the gym and relaxation pool before grabbing a freshly made green juice from the Juicery to give me a boost to prepare me for the adventures to come.

After spending time in the busy city of Edinburgh, I headed north to the Highlands to enjoy a scenic cycling tour taking in what I believe to be Scotland's best landscape. It was the perfect storm: clear sunny skies, wind in my hair, and far-ranging views of the mountains and lake, as I cycled the 14.5 km (9 mile) cycle path along Loch Lomond in Scotland. The journey was leisurely, yet adventurous. It was quite literally a breath of fresh air and one of my favorite travel experiences.
