The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME
This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet.

The Scottish Highlands
One of our trips to the Scottish Highlands focused mainly on the small villages and towns. We had rented cars in two places and taken the train between them. In the cars we covered the narrow roads and stayed away from the modern motorways. For example, it is relatively easy to drive from Inverness to Edinburgh on those super highways in a day. It took us more like five days. We enjoy getting to know people. Thus, when you get to a small town early and just hang out, you meet some of the locals. The smaller places are less crowded with tourists. There is nothing wrong with the larger communities, we have done those as well. This is just to say that it is more fun for us off the main highways.
