    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.…

    I have previously been to The Viking Ship museum in Oslo, Norway so to learn that less than an hour away from Copenhagen there was a museum with 5 Viking ships I was pretty excited to say the least. I hopped a train and headed off. It’s about a mile walk to the museum from…

    I know what you’re thinking: TOURIST TRAP WHY??? And trust me I usually don’t like a lot of the tourist stuff and I really feel Hollywood Blvd is much like Times Square in NYC (HELL) but I do find the outside of the Chinese Theater very interesting, provided you aren’t there late morning – early…

    Many people love St. Tropez. Before I went I heard from multiple people “You must go to Saint Tropez!” So, on my second visit to the Cote D-Azur region I went to Saint Tropez. After driving out to Saint Tropez, and walking around for a little bit I thought, “Why did I come to Saint…

    This 4th of July I decided it was time to get away and take a solo trip alone to some parts not to far away from me. I spend a lot of time making Connecticut my home base and so with 3 days off I hit the road on a mini road trip. I drove…

    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…

    I knew that I loved Iceland. I knew that I wanted a chance to explore it more. I knew I couldn’t afford to take all the time off from work and pay to go away for a month. I had heard of slow travel and work exchanges in the past and decided to see if…

    The year was 2015…. According to the Reykjavik Bar Summit’s official website: The Reykjavík Bar Summit is an annual event where bars and bartenders from around the world gather to compete on neutral ground. The event is also a celebration for the bar community where those with a shared love of cocktails can meet, compete, mingle,…

    I have heard many a horror story about renting cars in Iceland thanks to a lot of forum posts I have read. On top of that I’ve never rented a car in any foreign country. But I’m not much a fan of planned tours and tour buses and to really experience all that Iceland has…

    Place Sainte-Catherine 50, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium I totally dig Croquettes and I totally dig shrimp. So when I read online about Noordzee Mer du Nord and their shrimp croquettes I knew I’d be taking a trip there. First off their menu goes far beyond shrimp croquettes and it seems everyone loves them as they were…
