Developing the setting of my novel in Skye, Scotland, required research. My resources were similar to those I used to create a travel itinerary for my two-month trip to the UK and beyond.
If you are hoping to travel to a new setting or are planning an adventure, let me introduce you to one of my travel resources, Wolters World. Mark and Jocelyn have lived and traveled all around the world. They provide honest travel advice on so many places outside and inside the US. They focus on the best and worst parts of traveling, the cultural differences to be aware of, and the do’s and don’ts when traveling to a place.
You’ll find great tips and become an informed traveler after watching their videos. They answer every type of question. Check out their website here and see if they’ve traveled to where you’re headed. You may find several videos on the destination of your dreams.
Jocelyn and Mark’s friendly manner will inspire you to adventure. Follow their YouTube Channel to plan a new journey or enjoy traveling to different settings around the world, all from your phone or laptop.
To get a feel for the setting of my novel in Skye, Scotland, check out this video here. It’s an oldie but goodie.
After reading Man in the Mist, you may want to trek through Scotland. Watch their two-week Scotland itinerary to prepare.
Little fun fact:
Mark taught my son in a class at the University of Illinois, and I taught his oldest son (a lovely young man) in sixth grade for a few days.

Sounds like a great adventure awaiting!
