And Traveling the World
Life keeps putting me in the way of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The movement focused on craftsmanship and design around the turn of the 20th century, and there are still people carrying on its ideals and techniques today. Over the last few years, my travels around the UK have taken me to some of the best examples of the movement’s historic architecture, furniture, art, and textiles, and today I want to share 15 of the best Arts and Crafts Movement places in Britain with you.
Walthamstow. Awesomestow. Whatever you call it, this London neighborhood is worth exploring. Which is funny, because I’ve lived in London for over 10 years and haven’t. Until today, when I take the Victoria line to the last stop to see what the excitement is about. I’ve heard there are a lot of things to do in Walthamstow, and I can’t wait to find them.
Today I want to tell you about secret Edinburgh. I used to think I knew the Scottish capital. I’ve been traveling here since I was five, after all. But on recent trips I’ve discovered that while I know the Royal Mile and Princes Street well, I’ve missed out on a lot of the less obvious parts of the city. So I’ve made a point of going back to discover under-the-radar Auld Reekie. And it’s beautiful.
People always ask me for jet lag tips. Having traveled to over 100 countries, I’ve seen all sides of time-zone affliction. Whether it’s traveling to Asia and the Americas with only a few days in London in between, or going back and forth between the UK and the US multiple times in a month, I’ve been a jet lag survivor.
