A Summary of Ísland

OH WHAT A TRIP. WHAT A LOVELY TRIP.

Frolicking around the Solheimasandur wreckage.

2 weeks in Iceland: 4 days in Reykjavik, 9 days driving and camping the ring road. It was amazing. I don't even like road trips and it was amazing. I really think that Iceland is the perfect destination for a road trip. In the span of 6 hours you will see beaches, glaciers, mountains, waterfalls, grazing lands....It's like driving the length of the United States in 1/10th of the time! But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Taking a break in Hellnar while waiting for the road to reopen.

Iceland? What made you want to go to Iceland? If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me why I wanted to go to Iceland. "Isn't it cold?!" "What is there to do in Iceland?" To which I can only say: Have you seen pictures of Iceland?!? It's always been on the list of places I wanted to visit, and I can pin the beginning of my fascination to 2 images: This photo of Blue Lagoon and this photo of a canyon. The locations are just so unique, I just knew I needed to see it for myself.

I'm in editorial location heaven.

Of course, Iceland's frequent use as a filming location in movies/television (especially all of my favorites) also played a huge role in me wanting to go. Game of Thrones films there, Interstellar was filmed there, Prometheus was filmed there, basically every space movie is filmed there. Even NASA astronauts trained for the lunar missions there! I figured it's the closest I'll get to space travel if SpaceX doesn't pull it's act together before I die.

Prometheus deja vu.

New and Improved

In anticipation of the traveling that I VOW to do within the next 5 years, I'm restarting my blogging efforts.

From now on I will:

1. Put out great content on a regular basis.
2. Take WAY more pictures.
3. Try to be a better creative.
4. Spend my money on traveling, not Chipotle.
