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.
With all the problems environmental protection is facing in the United States, Iceland is a breathe of fresh air. Quite literally. The air is super crisp and fresh
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?
Queens is the most culturally diverse county in the world. I live about 30 minutes from there and rarely ever spend time in any of the neighborhoods. I recently watched the Anthony Bourdain special on it and was once again reminded why I am so lucky to live in New York. It also gave me…
Tel Aviv holds such a special place in my heart. It was my first trip after a major break up, a place I went to heal. It worked better than I ever thought. I met some wonderful people and did so many wonderful things. By the end of my trip I felt completely different. Before…
