The Land of Ice awaits my arrival. Or so, I hope. I have dreamt of this for a long time. I'm so beyond excited to explore, yet another country. In just 11 short days, I will be getting on the plane, to depart for Iceland. I have so many things on my list that I would love to see, but so little time. With only 7 full days there, I'm torn to have to pick and choose which places I will have to miss this time.This trip is filled with exciting activities I've never done. I will be talking about each activity in a separate post after I experience it. Iceland offers some of the most spectacular sceneries: endless waterfalls, volcanos, icebergs, farm houses, natural lagoons/hot-springs, ice caves just to name a few.I’m also excited for the weather change. To wear a jacket, and gloves and a hat. Living in Florida for the passed 10 months made me really appreciate a little bit of that crisp air. I have been wearing nothing but dresses, so I’m excited for some layers (said no one ever, but me).This will actually be my first trip to a different county with weather colder than where I live. I have always traveled to more tropical destinations or during summer to places that typically get colder. I have done plenty of winter traveling in the states, where I just go to one city and I'm not hopping around, so overpacking didn't effect me during those trips. However when I go out of the country, I prefer to travel light, which allows me to be more flexible about moving air bnb's/ hotels and having a different "home" for the night. So it will be interesting to see how my packing will go. I’m still hoping to try to go with just a backpack, and I’m planning on “test packing” sometimes this week. After trekking Europe with 50 pounds on my back, I’ve learned quickly that I don't want to be doing that, unless someone else is carrying my bag. If I succeed, I will post a blog on what I’m packing for this trip. Fingers crossed.Stay tuned for my Icelandic Adventures <3
Can’t wait to see the follow up to this post!!!
