the winter kick-off // four days in iceland
Oh hi, hello! Remember us? I won’t bore you with tales of where we’ve been. If you follow us and watch our stories on Instagram, then you already have a pretty good idea. But we do have more than a few travels to share with you! So… please don’t mind if I backtrack a bit, to our four days in Iceland. Back in November. Whoops.

weekend warriors // autumn in iceland, part two
Dark and early on our third morning in Iceland, the hubs and I awoke in our room at the Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel. After breakfast, we grabbed our bags, and hopped back in the car.

return to reykjavik // a few of my favorite things
This March, it will be 3 years since the hubs and I left New York for a 5-month trip around the world before our move to France. There were so many amazing moments from that trip, and while we honestly cannot declare any stop the very best, our week in Iceland is very close to the top.

driving the ring road: the great icelandic roadtrip
Once we started our RTW, we realized something. We had a roadtrip planned for almost every country! From Hawaii, to New Zealand, to Australia, to random countries across Europe, we repeatedly rented cars and drove off to new destinations. It felt natural to cap our adventure with the ultimate: one great Icelandic roadtrip around the country’s famous Ring Road. the great icelandic roadtrip The kick-off to the very last week of our five-month RTW was off to a stellar start. Our epic roadtrip began with two very fulfilling days of rotten shark-eating and black death-imbibing in Reykjavik. Although we loved…
