“Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.”― Jack Kerouac

So in the last post I took you through Edinburgh and its main attractions and now it's time for something a little different. Isle of Skye is a place where sheep are your best friends, one-lane roads prevail and nature stuns you. It is true that we didn't really have the best weather but we didn't let a few raindrops and gusts of wind stop us. I feel like this kind of gloomy weather makes it even more special. 

One word to describe the island? Dramatic. Its cliffs stretch along the cost and leave you feeling very small. I especially loved the Storr - if you get a chance to climb it I highly recommend it. I've never seen a view so majestic. 

Hope you like the photos!

Scottish adventure // Edinburgh

Words that describe this breath-taking city? Historical, vibrant, old-fashioned, beyond beautiful, inspiring, Hogwarts-like, enchanting, beyond beautiful (Did I mention that already? :D).

I already hold England very close to my heart, and I kinda had a feeling that I would fall in love with Edinburgh. And I did! The first morning when we walked to Wetherspoons to get breakfast, I couldn't stop muttering 'Wow. This is so beautiful.' and already took hundreds of photos. This city and its lanes, streets and closes are honestly stunning.

October

''October arrived, spreading a damp chill over the grounds and into the castle. Madam Pomfrey, the nurse, was kept busy by a sudden spate of colds among the staff and students. Raindrops in size of bullets thundered on the castle windows for days on end; the lake rose, the flower beds turned into muddy streams, and Hagrid's pumpkins swelled to the side of garden sheds.''

- J. K. Rowling

My plan for today's evening? Cuddle up in the warmest blankets and relax. I have the busiest week ahead, since I have many things to check off my to do list before I head to Scotland on Friday. It's like I have been waiting for my Scottish adventure for so long and it feels like I am about to visit the mothership of autumns. The excitement is BEYOND real.

On another note, the sun finally decided to visit us in Slovenia again and just in time for the weekend as well! We made a quick trip to one of the country's beauties - Lake Bled - and enjoyed in the sound of crunching leaves under our feet. 

How was you weekend? I want to hear all about it. :)

FOMO

FOMO (n.): the fear of missing out

This phenomenon is almost inevitable nowadays as we are bombarded with images of picture perfect lives (or at least so they seem). Social media channels make sure that we always know what is going on out there, who's currently soaking up the sun in Maldives, who's enjoying the sunset in America or who's hanging out at a local pub. 

There's a thin line between wanting to do something because we really like it and doing something just because it's popular. For example, you may feel like you're missing out if you are not laying on a beach in Maldives, but you may not necessarily even want to go there. Do you know what I mean? Would booking Maldives be your first travel choice or are you just inspired to go there because of a current trend?

So what can we do to overcome the so-called fomo?

I think that the best way is to accept that there are going to be things, events and moments in life that you are going to miss. And that's okay. There's no way you can experience every single thing every person is doing, because you can't be in hundred places at once. You can't even be in two places at once. So yes, you will miss out on what Susan's doing, but guess what? You are not Susan. And Susan's going to miss out on things that you are doing, because she is not you. We spend too much time thinking what others are doing instead of focusing on our own lives.
