Meet Britt (the other half): Our Story

A Much Needed Adventure...

In early 2017, at 31 years old, I found myself trapped in a fluorescent lit beige cubicle 45 min south of Boston in Taunton, MA. Having grown up on the south shore all my life, I didn’t have a passport, had never taken any meaningful trips, and couldn’t fathom how I ever would - between work, adulting, and funds. Honestly, I was miserable.

Then, midway through that year, a sudden sense of dread hit me. I thought, “To hell with this!” So, I got myself a CapitalOne Venture travel card. I booked my first international flight (and whatever an Airbnb was) with that card. I also set about getting my passport - hopefully in time - for my four-day city break to Edinburgh for the Halloween/Samhuinn Fire Festival and my “West Highlands Lochs & Castles” tour.

Thankfully, my passport arrived just in time ::whew:: I excitedly (and anxiously) boarded my flight late one evening after one of my best friends' weddings >> improperly dressed for a Scottish autumn and sporting a serious limp from a sprained left foot from going too hard with the Cotton Eyed Joe in 4" red suede heels after a few too many whisky sours...

From the moment I set foot in Scotland, just outside Waverley Station, staring straight up at the Sir Walter Scott monument, I knew I belonged here.

It pulled me in instantly and hasn’t let go since.

A Memorable Tour Experience

On day two of my city break, after limping for two miles (because I didn't know how AirBnB worked and ended up wayyy outside the city centre), clutching an iced coffee and a scone desperately to my chest. I was ten minutes late for my Rabbie's tour.

When I finally arrived, I was greeted by my tall, blue-eyed, kilted, deep-voiced Scottish tour guide. With a cheeky smile, he said, “You must be Britt then; looks like you’ll be my co-pilot for the day.”

I spent the rest of that day trying to wrap my head around how this was suddenly my life. I couldn’t imagine going back to my old one.

The Journey Continues

Fast forward several years, two weddings across two countries, and a LOT of stories and many many struggles. Here I am, helping that very same tour guide bring his charm, knowledge, cheeky nature, and love of his homeland to every one of our clients.
