You Can´t Go Back
Back in February of 2016 I went back to Iceland after having left in December of 2015. Here are some thoughts from that trip…. I am 8 days into my current trip. The first 5.5 were spent in Oslo, Norway. I have been back in Reykjavík since. I’ve already realized you can’t go back again.…

My first Slow Travel/Work Exchange Part II
In my previous post I discussed how I got my first slow travel/work exchange gig back in 2016. I know every place I’m sure does things differently, so I can only go based off of my experience. I arrived and checked in with reception and went to bed. The whole time leading up to the…

Iceland VI
Sunday, November 29, 2015 … another alarm set for 12 noon. My friend that I had gotten together with on Saturday invited me to brunch with his family. Along with Broadway shows, NYC brunches top my favorite things to do on a NYC weekend. So, there was no way I was missing out on seeing what…

Iceland Part IV
Friday, November 27, 2015 It snowed in earnest as I slept Thursday night and Friday morning. I woke up to a Winter Wonderland. It was beautiful. It wasn’t all brown and muddy as it gets in NYC or even in the suburbs of Connecticut. It appeared they didn’t even plow the streets around me, people…
