Small Adventures
Hi! My name's Amy.
I live in Aberdeenshire, Scotland where I currently make most of my videos. I moved here several years ago so that I could do my PhD in honeybee science! That chapter is now complete but I loved my time here so much I decided to stay.
I have a LOT of interests and am easily distracted by new hobbies! I love getting outdoors to explore both history and nature...Stone circles, birds, castles, plants, hillforts and hiking are my jam. I also LOVE reading and crafting makes me happy too. My content will undoubtedly be eclectic!
I originally started this channel as I was taking more and more videos whilst I was out and about and I enjoyed making something out of them. I've called it 'Small Adventures' because I used to believe that an adventure had to be long, arduous and far away but now I think adventure is wherever you choose to find it. I hope these videos inspire you to explore and go on your own small adventures!
