solo in europe: week 8, edinburgh, glasgow, and oxford

This trip started on September 16th, 2024! After graduating from college, I decided to buy a one way ticket to Italy and take my time seeing different sights throughout Europe. My travels ended up taking 3 months (I went to 11 countries!) and although most of the time I was exploring alone, I met up with some friends and family along the way! These aren't vlogs with awesome cinematography or cool editing, but they are complete and real recounts of how I spent my time. I hope that they can be even an eensy bit informational to anyone hoping to do the same thing, or just a little entertaining to anyone else who happens to be watching. If anything, they'll serve as fun video diaries for me to look back on! Sooooo yeah, follow along if you'd like...I plan on posting a new video each week! Edinburgh info: AirBnb - https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/camb... Definitely a dingier place, but solid for the price and with a private bathroom. Great location, walkable or super close to a bus stop that will get you to where you need to go. Harry Potter Tour - https://www.getyourguide.com/edinburg... Highly recommend this tour, the guide was great and it was a fun way to get an introduction to the city (specifically if you’re a Harry Potter fan.) Glenfinnan Viaduct Bus Day Trip - https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio... HIGHLY recommend this tour. So fun. The guides are fantastic. Long day, but great information, great sights, and great vibes. Department of Magic - https://www.departmentofmagic.com (https://www.departmentofmagic.com/) Super cute and super fun activity. Make sure to make reservations in advance. Glasgow info: AirBnb - https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/glas... Close to the tube/metro and does the job. Oxford info: AirBnb - https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/the-... Slightly nicer than the other two, but hard to find. Right next to a bus stop to get to the central part of town and the university. Harry Potter Tour - https://www.getyourguide.com/oxford-l... Great to see all the different filming locations and very informational on the history of different spots. Need to make a separate reservation to see the “Restricted Section” of the library set. I also missed out on the stairs to the Great Hall from the first movie which are in the Christ Church College, so make sure to find time for that if you’re interested.
