Hidden Treasures Map of Edinburgh
<p>The original plan was to fly from London to Lion, France to visit a friend and family. This idea was compromised and I flew to Glasgow, Scotland instead. I travelled to Edinburgh by train after a few weeks in Glasgow. <a href="https://girlgonenomad.medium.com/hidden-treasures-in-scotland-7e9e02c647eb" rel="noopener">This whole trip was a rollercoaster of emotions</a> — from feeling safe and at home, to feeling like a total outsider and misunderstood.</p>
<p>Upon arrival in Edinburgh, the first impression was that this city had stopped in time. It was beautiful! It reminded me of the Medieval Summer Festivals across Portugal, Spain & France villages. Edinburgh thrives in its own little bubble of time, where a new modern spiral building emerges in the landscape of granite walls and rocky roads.</p>
<p>However, I was warned that Edinburgh was grayer than the British stereotype of “gray and cloudy countries”. Edinburgh was tiny, yet it was good to explore the Eastern side of the country. This was the second place (after Dublin) I did not feel particularly welcomed. I sensed that the <em>British</em> <em>pride </em>was much stronger here, I was often seen as a student (no perks or discounts applied, however), and the notion of remote work was misunderstood.</p>
