Heather Irish

I'm a Midwestern girl who after conquering the countryside of Ohio, craved something a little more adventurous than playing Jane of the Jungle while swinging from grapevines over ravines. Through lots of hard work, some luck and an amazing support system, I've made Edinburgh, Scotland my base for eight years and have taken advantage of the UK's lenient minimum 28 days of vacation a year to explore the globe. I love the sun, beach, yoga, barre, exploring, trying new things and have some scars to prove it. I miss my family and friends who are scattered all around the world but have become a Facetime, group iMessage and What's App pro. I rebranded Yankee Doodles as a blogging compilation with my expat, traveller friends Elizaveta and HB. Yankee Doodles is an expat blog by expats and for expats and travellers.
