The vibes are immaculate--it is located in The Arches, a historic set of arches that house different businesses and date back to 1875! Everyone was so friendly, there was some indie/oldies music playing, and the place even smelled good!
It's also located right by Room & Rumours, so stop by there for a cheeky coffee or tea break after your nail appointment. :)
1. The architecture.
The city itself is simply stunning and I can't help enjoying the aesthetics of the city anytime I'm out and about.
2. The history.
This is very related to the architecture obviously, but I love being surrounded by so many incredibly old buildings and landmarks!
3. The culture.
You may be thinking, 'But you're from the U.S.; it can't be that different?' While this definitely isn't the most different culture from my own, there are quite a few differences in the way of living here! (Think walking everywhere, the tiny grocery shops, etc.)
4. The chance to learn.
I have always wanted to live and study abroad, and now I am actually doing it! This year, I will be working on my master's degree and I am absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to study here and learn from some incredibly knowledgeable lecturers!
If you follow me on instagram, @thegvlgirl, you know I post a lot of coffee. 🙈 (I'm a student, so I guess it's kind of necessary!) Where do I go for an afternoon coffee and some studying? Here are my three fav places atm for the best coffee in gvl!
Rachel. This is the story of my year living abroad in Scotland.
