A lot of people tell me they hate curry so therefore they do not like Indian food. It seems that a lot of people don’t realize curry is a spice and there are in fact lots of choices when it comes to how one will taste. Not all are created equal and just because you…
Getting up at 630am is not generally my favorite thing. Sometimes you have to just deal with it. Sometimes it is worth the lack of sleep. Getting to spend the day with Bus Travel Iceland in the Snaefullness Peninsula was one of those times where it was worth it.
Just like every country, Iceland has cuisine that is unique to them. Some of it I loved and some of it not so much. Some of it was delicious and some of it was…interesting. Regardless of how I normally feel about a dish I love to try things when I am somewhere new. Basically that…
After spending a long weekend in Reykjavick I was ready to start exploring outside it’s walls. I was told the Golden Circle was a must see. So I set out early in the morning to see the wild beauty that is Iceland in the winter. I figured it is hard to explain what it looks…
Every time I travel to a new place I, obviously, learn things I did not know. The most exciting part of the trip to me is the discovery. I love history and facts. I love seeing where things happened. It brings everything to life! Iceland is no exception. It was an interesting and exciting place…
Iceland is a sustainable country. They pride themselves on their environmental thinking and their easy execution of it, as I wrote about prior to this, here. HI Hostels follow and promote that lifestyle as well. It is wonderful to support a place that cares so much.

Spending a week in the small town of Killarney was a great decision. I came a few days before the festivities of a conference I was attending. I wanted to make sure I had time to embrace the town as well as the surrounding areas. I knew nothing about Killarney when I started researching it….
I have been to Philly a few times. I have explored the necessary monuments, eaten a cheese steak or two and even had a one night stand. Heading back there for a weekend I felt like I could explore more of the off the beaten path experiences and take more time.
Prior to going to Galway everyone I met kept saying how much they loved Galway. I have had a few instances lately where people rave about a location then I go and I am not overly impressed. I was worried about what I would think but on immediate arrival I was in love.
I knew that 72 hours wasn’t going to be enough time before I even arrived in Belfast. Then I got a stomach bug and when I arrived at my hostel, Arnie’s Backpackers, I died in my bed for the day. Ruining all my plans for the afternoon and shortening my time even more.
People said I was crazy to spend a January weekend in Vermont. The possibility of the weather being hard to deal with was inevitable. If I didn’t go then when would I go?
