Story

 Awrite! 

Aftter 4 years of studying, living and enjoying Scotland*, I'll be soon graduating from the University of Aberdeen. During the time I spent here, I've seen a fair bit of Scotland and I was simply captivated by its landscape, castles and coastline.

I don't yet have the answer to the most-heard question 'What's next after uni?'. Will I go to Canada and become a lumberjack or stay in the UK to follow a law career? What I know is that I'll definitely come back to Scotland and this is my small contribution to ensure that I will come back to as beautiful country as I've remembered it. Wherever I've travelled -- Lothain, Fife, the Highlands, Angus or during my epic bike trip Aberdeen-Edinburgh -- I've seen the logo of the National Trust for Scotland all around and I believe they are making a great job at preserving the best Scotland has to offer.

This is also my way of saying 'thank you' for being in here for 4 years. And if you ever come around to visit the homeland of Sir William Wallace and deep-fried Mars -- you'll see it was a gift well-made. 

And just to show I mean it -- I'll run it as a unicorn, a national Scottish symbol, being all fabolous. (Pictures to follow, the unicorn gear has just been ordered!)

Thank you all for the support!

P.S. That's the first time I'm running for the charity. I was used to annoying my friends with my Nike+Running updates but now I can also solicit them for money (for the good cause of course!) Feel free to follow my training progress on my Nike+ website.
