Scott's Wee Danders

Welcome back folks, and a belated Happy Halloween! For this blog post, I have decided to mix things up a bit and try something new. For my (late) Halloween Holiday Throwback, I've decided to add a spooky twist! For this adventure, I'll be splitting it into 2 separate blog posts with each blog post covering one of the two weeks I spent away. These blogs will be a holiday throwback to my trip to California which has been my favourite holiday I've been on and I cannot wait to go back. In order to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity, we made sure to pack as much sightseeing and different activities into our busy schedule. These included visiting San Francisco, Yosemite, the Golden Gate Bridge, Lake Tahoe, Alcatraz Island, Muir Woods and a trip to Oracle Park, home to the San Francisco Giants. San Francisco For the first week of our trip, we stayed in a lovely apartment in San Francisco that was reportedly worth over $1 million! Despite staying in an apartment that I ca...

Hi folks, this is the first post for my blog and I've decided to start it off by writing about my summer holiday to Spain. Despite it only being the start of October while I'm writing this, summer has well and truly ended and autumn is very much in full swing. No more clear skies and sunshine (not that we get much in Northern Ireland anyway) instead it's grey clouds and rain. My holiday to Spain was a much-needed trip away, my first year of university had just finished and I couldn't wait to go abroad. The warm weather and sunshine allowed me to sit and relax by the pool and truly enjoy myself, not to mention that while I was there, the Euros were taking place and Spain managed to win it. It was an incredible experience just sitting on the balcony of our apartment and listing to the people around us erupt into pandemonium when they won.  Barcelona Despite all the lounging by the pool I may have done, I did actually get a chance to explore the city of Barcelona and exper...

Hi there! My name is Scott McCrory, I am 21 years old and currently, I am a 2nd year student at the University of Ulster in Belfast studying Business Studies. As part of one of my modules, I have been tasked with starting a blog and using social media to advertise it. Alongside the blog itself, I have created an Instagram account in order to grow & expand my online presence.  In my blog, I will write about the different places I have travelled to and visited throughout the year which may include holidays I have taken, adventures to different National Trust sites or even just the dander to university.  Since lockdown and the pandemic, I have noticed that I haven't been as active as I beforehand. I stopped exercising, I stopped playing sport and I now feel that I am not as fit or as healthy as I once was. That's why I have decided to create this blog, not only does it encourage me to get out and about, it also encourages me to explore new places and overall just improves my ...
