Scotland at the speed of life‪:‬

When the author embarked on her extended vacation to the United Kingdom she promised to share her experiences with friends and family by posting photographs online. Moved by the beauty of the country and the richness of her experiences, she began to share her adventures through the written word as well. Her blogs soon gathered a captivated following, and so the seeds for this book were sown.


Initially conceived as a short, literature-inspired tour of Great Britain, Ms. Rothstein’s itinerary evolved into a three-month adventure of a lifetime. To her surprise and delight, the extended duration allowed for a deeper experience gained by slowing her pace and taking the time to let life happen.


In this volume, the author shares, vividly and humorously, accounts of the places she and her husband visited on their travels through Scotland. The inspiration she draws from her journey—as well as the breathtaking photographs—will motivate others to follow in her path. She also offers a thoughtful and practical guide to planning and organizing an extended trip, from how to set up an itinerary to packing a three-month wardrobe in a single suitcase.


Traveling at the speed of everyday life, Ms. Rothstein accomplishes something we all desire, but rarely achieve while on the road—making ourselves at home.
