Favourite place to visit

I want to visit Paris, maybe because my best friend is living there or because since I was a child I always think that Paris is a city that we can find our love.   (Filipa)

I would love to visit New York because of the fashion, the big stores and buildings. I would visit Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. (Mariana)

On the beach in Tunisia

This was me on the beach in Tunisia.  This is one of my favourite countries to visit because the food is as hot as the weather, and as I was once a competitive gymnast, so the massive selection of water sports suits me perfectly.

I like to spend a lot of time in hot countries because it’s great to get away from the extremely cold weather of the Scottish Highlands.  Walking along the sea front with nothing but a bottle of water and a pair of sunglasses is where I am in my element and when nothing else matters.

Peace and Roots

This is a view of the mountain Schiehallion near Loch Rannoch in Scotland, and is a view that represents my Scottish “roots”. I’ve been visiting Kinloch Rannoch , where my family has an enormous, cosy (and very old) caravan, looking out onto Loch Rannoch and Schiehallion, all my life. I do my best to visit at least once a year and my family often has noisy family reunions there, with a lot of laughter and story telling.There’s no TV, internet or phone signal there…. so it’s the perfect place to curl up on the sofa, read a good book, drink some hot chocolate, look out at the loch and forget the outside world. I first climbed the mountain Schiehallion when I was about 9 years old, and have climbed it several times since. I like to think that I’ll manage to climb it a few more times  in my lifetime! On a sunny day Rannoch is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth…. and even on a rainy day it’s still very special.
