• Finally, My Very Own Video of Iceland

    I just watched Wild and her journey of mostly solitude took me back to my most recent trip to Iceland. I think it’s one of the best places on earth to be totally alone–just you, your thoughts, and the natural beauty that surrounds you. While I certainly didn’t spend 100 days hiking across this beautiful

While I spent night after night searching for the

    I’d always sort of thought of Italy as my first and only true love. And then.. I met Iceland. I’ve never considered myself much of a nature-y type of gal. I don’t enjoy getting dirty; hate sweating; I don’t like camping; I need to wash my hair every day; I’ve never liked being isolated. I’ve

  • My Favorite 2013 Travel Moments

    It’s almost the new year, and while I look forward to the adventures and self-discovery that 2014 will bring, I think it’s also a good time to reflect back on 2013. I can’t say that 2013 was an especially good year for me, all things considered. The first six or so months were some of
