I slept great last night! I never did get a heat source going but the bedding was warm and cozy. Though I did almost kill myself coming down the spiral staircase to use the compostable toilet in the middle of the night. I was too tired to get around to planning my day before falling...

Nine months ago I fell in love with this country. Well, if you want to get technical, first I crashed a car here in under 45 minutes and wanted to lose my shit and get back on a plane and leave right away... BUT I kept my shit together and by the next day the... Continue Reading →
I slept well last night and woke up naturally nice and early. I had considered going back to Kerid Crater but with an hour drive each way I decided that I didn't really feel like venturing that far; I only had a few hours before I wanted to head to the airport. I did some... Continue Reading →
I completed the Ring Road today - that's right, I drove around the entire island of Iceland in seven days. According to my Garmin I have driven and hiked a combined 1,512.26 miles in the last seven days. Damn I'm good. And, ladies and gentlemen, the car is still fully intact! It was dreary, cold,...

I had intentions of either taking a small hike or maybe playing nine holes of golf before hitting the road this morning but it was a dreary cold morning and neither of those ideas sounded good to me.

The festival in Akureyri went on well into the wee hours of the morning last night; right outside my apartment window. And of course, I had to be up early. My day started with the Akureyri airport and a flight to Grimsey Island, where I would officially cross the arctic divide. I wasn't sure how... Continue Reading →
I was not a fan of the farmhouse. I did not sleep amazing there and found the place downright creepy. I got up and ready and hit the road quickly this morning, I never even stopped to take a picture or look around the entire property. I was ready to get out. I drove down... Continue Reading →
If you know me well, you know I've been waiting to use that title. Today was a long day, 13 hours of on the go. I was thankful for another solid 8 hours sleep last night (and super thankful I could bring my sleep-aid of choice with me on this trip) and was packed up,... Continue Reading →
My first time in Las Vegas I was two weeks old. My earliest childhood memories with my brother, sister, and father are in Vegas and Hawaii. My dad did a lot of work in Vegas and being as it was only a 3ish hour drive from Orange (where I grew up), we got to go... Continue Reading →
I've done a lot of nice things for myself. Let's be honest. Luxury cars in my garage, designer labels in my closet, a nice home, jewelry, I don't shy from treating myself. But this trip is the best thing I've ever done for myself. New Zealand tested me. And in the end, it helped me... Continue Reading →
