# Isle of Skye 2024

*Each year, Klaas and I pick a new destination for our outdoor adventure. In 2024, we set off for the Isle of Skye in Scotland. This stop was near Glencoe, about halfway between Glasgow and Skye.*

*Morning rituals remain unchanged, even while wild camping in Scotland.*

*We spent a week sleeping in a van, wild camping along empty roads in Scotland. Except for the third day, when we splurged on a hotel room for a much-needed shower. We even snuck our camping dishes into our room to wash them in the bathroom sink.*

*We hiked the Quiraing through mud and wind, with Highland cows watching us trudge by. My favorite part was wandering across the open highlands, letting the strong wind push me forward.*
