As a kid you grow up in a world of animated cartoons, movies and television so it seemed fitting to end my visit to America surrounded by theme parks dedicated to just that. Back in the day I’d love watching the Flintstones on a saturday morning, now its all about Minions and Harry Potter with just a splash of the old remixed for the new generation of youngsters. Orlando is […]

Celebrating the New Year at Hogmanay in Edinburgh
Throughout my life I’ve known one thing, New Year’s celebrations very rarely live up to the hype that surrounds them.
