Gleðilegt nýtt ár vinir (Happy New Year, Friends)! My trip to Iceland was even more eventful and exciting than I could have imagined. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with my partner’s family, ride a snow mobile for the first time, get a glimpse of the northern lights, meet interesting new people and show off some of my new language skills. I definitely faced some language challenges during my stay and I will expand upon some of those experiences in my next post. For now, I thought it would be fun to share some visual and written highlights from the trip! 🙂

The land of fire and ice is a delightful playground for all the senses. The vividly colored moss lying on jagged lava rocks sits nestled along monstrous mountains and line the shores of icy cold water. The massive amount of untouched land emanates a mysterious sensuality that makes one believe that there are untold secrets just beyond our comprehension, especially if you are a foreigner. The natives of the land seem comfortable with the assumed or unknown, sometimes delighting in the fact that they dwell on a volatile hotbed of natural occurrences. It’s intriguing and strange to meet people that seem as mysterious as the place they inhabit.
