Happy Monday and hello from Ballater, Scotland where I will start the NE250! The NE250 is a scenic tourist route that follows much of the Eastern coastline of Scotland giving gorgeous views of the North Sea, while also cutting through the majestic Cairngorm Mountains. I honestly didn’t know this route existed until another rider told me about this. Now I HAVE to do it! This is why I love not planning on my moto expedition. It gives me the freedom to ride wherever I want, leaving things open ended if I want to spend more time in a place or with new friends I meet, or if I need to hide from the weather or recover for longer. It’s hard to fully comprehend this lifestyle until you experience this for yourself. We can change if we want to. I was a planner once and now I’m existing without any plans. Who would’ve thought 🤷♀️ Are you more of a planner or go with the flow? #chasingcrystal #scotlandtravel #scotlandsites #scotlandroadtrip #ballater #ballaterscotland #ne250 #motodistancing (at Ballater, Aberdeenshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNAupFre9d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
