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.

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
