      @@vanhallaadventures so proud of you guys! Have been following since your Camino! I’m a singer songwriter and produce my own music. This is my first offer to produce for a TH-cam channel, but since I love you guys I wanted to let you know that if you ever want custom music for your channel, I would be more than happy to chat with you.

    Hi, Its nice watching people from abroad and USA and loving Scotland!
    I was born in Poland, but live in Edinburgh long time now and feel so lucky and happy doing long distance hiking and walking in here and I dont need to travel anywhere else to a different country😊
    You need to see Skye and Outer Hebrides also!
    Scotland is the best.

      Outer Hebrides is on our list!
      We visited Skye last year!

    I have yet to make it over to Orkney, we live in the far north of the Highlands! Love our life here. Currently sharing videos on my channel of our life and adventures here.
    Orkney looks beautiful and I will definitely make it over soon. Thanks for sharing, new to your channel and planning to binge watch!! Xx

    Thanks for the video. I'm from mainland Scotland, but have worked with many Shetlanders, Orcadians and other folk from the western Isles, generally you cannot meet nicer people, and they hate alcohol 🤣 I've had some all night sessions with islanders, their stamina is hard to keep up with

    I would love to visit Shetland, my great grandmother's family all lived in Shetland for hundreds of years, even back to some Norse ancestors. I live in Missouri where my family moved to in the late 18 early 1900's but Shetland seems like it's the way this area was when I was young, yery friendly and welcoming.

    • @vanhallaadventures

    Do the Quince products run true to size

    • @vanhallaadventures
      @vanhallaadventures  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think so. I wear a size 6 and in their tops I wear a small or a medium if it’s a super tight fitting shirt because I have a large bust. But all my sweaters are a small. Although I did order a size M in their pants because I like having a lil wiggle room for bloat 🙈or putting thermals underneath. I would say it fits like the rest of the brands that I purchase that can run super small (that are made more for women in their early 20’s). Does that make sense?

    Enjoyed your little visit to Orkney, by the way, you got the name right, locals hate it when visitors call it `Orkneys`. I`m a sassenach but visited most of the Orkney Isles every from 1996-2018 and long to go back. The beauty of the isles, the freindly folk, ancient sites of course the intermittent weather all adds to its charm. Enjoy your stay there.

    The first minute of this video. I wish you had been honest. You want to/ are living in Scotland because - and only because - the Macaroni pies washed-down with chilled Irn Bru. ( Who can blame you?! ). O a semi-serious point: I felt very nostalgic , and I felt I had lost something, as I watched this. I was this way for my head just filled-up with images of your Camino walk. I don't know. maybe I just needed to feel the sun all over me. That said, I'll leave you with an early Christmas gift. Ask/ buy lots of baggy or cheap socks. If you want to walk around on icy ground then the only guaranteed way of walking upright with confidence is to put socks over your shoes- most of the sole has to be covered. I lived in the Highlands; the socks thing works.
