This trip to Reykjavik was always going to be confronting for me as it was only 18 short months ago that I was last here with Matthew (my partner of 18 years who I lost quite suddenly only 8 months ago) – life seemed genuinely perfect and the future brighter than ever. It was therefore […]
For many years now I’ve had a secret little fantasy of one day coming to Reykjavik to just write. Today (15.07.11) that dream came true albeit a somewhat diminished version of the original grand plan in which I am paid a massive advance to write my masterpiece as opposed to labouring away on my hideously […]
I woke up in Iceland and saw my breath.Where is my sweater?, I wondered as I calculated 16 degrees Celsius into Fahrenheit with my iPhone’s converter app. The 60-degree crisp air felt dramatically different than the 98-degree swampy feel of New Orleans. I liked it. It felt fresh. Second blog post from our friend Sara Maurer […]

What should I do if I only had one day in Iceland? Tiny Iceland would do this; Starting the day at a local coffee house is great.

Hello from Iceland! It’s hard to believe I’ve only been here for two days; I feel like I’ve had the chance to do so much. I can’t even explain to you how spectacular it is… or how cold, much more so than I’d expected And still I’ve fallen in love. So, I thought I’d take […]

Dear Dad, I know international travel is not your thing, but I went to a place I want you to visit. Iceland may seem a random and obscure destination for Americans, but believe me when I say it’s a hidden gem. I originally decided to stop in Iceland after hearing about a stopover program through […]
The English Pub is the hottest sports bar on the frozen rock in the N-Atlantic ocean, Live Music every night and all major sport events on big screens. The English Pub is located in the city center facing the Parliament of Iceland. For years, Iceland has enjoyed a diverse selection of restaurants and often sophisticated […]
It is a personal goal of mine to keep my country travel tally at least as high as my age. With my 23rd country, I’ve finally caught up to myself. What started as a quick layover at the beginning of our adventure ended up one of the most interesting places I’ve ever been. Iceland busted […]
From April 16 through April 24 I was in Iceland on what would be best described as a solo woman’s retreat. I’d been dying to get out of New York for a year, just go some place quiet with a whole lot less people and a whole lot more nature. I needed to be reminded […]
