Iceland has been on my travel list for a few years now, but it was always one of those desinations that seems impossible. I mean, ICELAND? As in that island we always notice on maps roughly halfway between Greenland and Norway?
But then I started researching airfare, and lots of travel websites and blogs started referencing Icelandair, with a twist. For reasonably priced transatlantic voyages with a layover in Iceland`s international airport, travelers could extent their layover in Iceland for up to a week without increasing their airline tickets prices! It seemed too good to be true!
Anyway, what drew me mostly to Iceland was two things: the natural beauty of Iceland`s landscape and the capitol city of Reykjavik. I was dying to go see the northernmost capitol city in the world, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! Continue reading
When I first studied abroad in Montpellier, I wrote a list of places that I wanted to visit while I was in France. After a very short period of time, the list looked like me listing every country in Europe. Well. I can’t do that in one year abroad- without totally blowing my bank account- so I had to narrow it down. This year, once again, I am taking off on a months-long European adventure, hoping to squeeze in some budget travel. The places I’m dying to visit this year are:
-Berlin
Berlin has been my #1 European travel destination for a while now! As a history buff, there’s so much to see in Berlin: Checkpoint Charlie, various WW2/Holocaust museums, the Reichstag, etc. I’d love to visit and be able to explore a major world capital that was once behind the Iron Curtain. (Read about my trip to Berlin here.)
