Two years of living abroad and I have to say, it never ceases to amaze me the luck I walk into. Two months ago, I knew nothing about Edinburgh. Absolutely nothing.

The idea of spending the weekend confined to a cubicle in some giant skyscraper – 5 star or otherwise – isn’t really my idea of a romantic getaway, regardless of what google thinks.
