This week we speak with Madeline Wahl, who shares her emotional journey from the United States to Scotland.
Madeline relocated to Glasgow on a study visa, along what turns out to be a deeply personal and transformative journey. During COVID-19, she moved back home to Florida to be a caregiver for her mom. She wanted to pursue the dream of living abroad, but life didn’t unfold the way she expected. What started as a dream to travel became a journey through profound grief and self-discovery.
Madeline Wahl is a writer and an alumna of the MLitt in Fantasy Literature program at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. While living in the states she worked as a journalist for publications including HuffPost and Reader’s Digest.
She writes about her caregiving experience on her Substack:
and is planning on sharing more experiences about solo travel and her years abroad on her Instagram @madelinewahlwrites.
