Land of Fire and Ice Series: Iceland’s South Shore Adventures

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

If you’re looking for stereotypical Iceland views and magic, head to the South Coast. Using the same company that we used to view the Golden Circle, Reykjavik Excursions, my sister and I set off on a 12.5 hour tour of southern Iceland. The scenery is expansive and impressive, the names are intense tongue twisters (no seriously try and read some of these out loud), and the waterfalls are plentiful. When you Continue reading Land of Fire and Ice Series: Iceland’s South Shore Adventures→

The Making of Harry Potter: A Potterhead’s Mecca

Originally I was planning on doing a “Geeking out in the UK” post about all the nerdy things I got up to while across the pond, but I felt my trip to Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the home of Harry Potter, was so fantastic it deserved it’s own post. For those of you who haven’t heard of Warner Bros.

My sister and I were picked up by Dive.IS early in the morning Continue reading Land of Fire and Ice Series: Silfra SCUBA Diving→

My First Year of Travel & Future Plans

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I quit my job and set off to travel the world by myself. It’s also fitting that this is my 100th blog post! SO much has happened since then. So much has changed. For better and for worse. That’s the thing about travel. As anyone who has ever done any sort of extensive travel, it never goes as planned. Ever. But Continue reading My First Year of Travel & Future Plans→

Land of Fire and Ice Series: The Golden Circle

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

The Land of Fire and Ice, or Iceland as it’s more commonly known, is a special place that deserves special attention. So instead of writing a novel on my time here like I did with Ireland, I’m going to break it up into a 3 part series. PART 1: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE The Golden Circle was the first tour my sister and I took when we arrived in Iceland. We Continue reading Land of Fire and Ice Series: The Golden Circle→
