and cultures. The heartfelt hospitality and

the intercultural spirit inspire me each

I’d like to introduce a special

part of the UK to you: the

NC500, or North Coast 500, in

Scotland. This 500-mile route

has so many spots with overwhelming

and, at times, breathtaking views that

everybody should know about it. Al-

though the weather in Scotland can be

interesting (as they say, “If you don’t like

the weather, wait five minutes”), this part

of the UK as well as the Highlands are al-

ways worth exploring on holiday. And

to top it off, there are other stops on the

Isle of Skye and at Loch Lo-

mond. All these points are

worth a visit as well as

a report. My favourite

holiday destination

is the UK, especial-

ly Scotland. Because

my husband owns

two plots of land in the

Highlands (Highland Titles

Nature Reserve), we plan to visit the re-

gion and take a guided tour. We are so

proud to be part of their mission: to fund

the creation of multiple nature reserves

throughout Scotland. It’s a mission that

deserves our support.

Peggy’s Cove, a tiny fishing

village located just 40 kilo-

metres from Halifax on

Canada’s east coast,

is a photographer’s paradise.

It is a famous Nova Sco-

tian landmark not to be

missed. There is a lot

to see and explore, but

the main attraction is

certainly Peggy’s Point

Lighthouse, perched on

top of the rocks. There

are also small gift shops

and nice little restaurants

where they serve delicious

fresh lobster rolls. If you climb the

massive rocks, you will get a wonderful

view of the sea and the rolling waves; but

be careful: the rocks can be slippery. It is

easy to get there from downtown Halifax

— you either rent a car or go by bus. Peg-

gy’s Cove is incredibly idyllic and roman-

tic; it looks like a postcard come to life.
