Inspiring others to see the world
A few years ago, on my 30th birthday, I walked out of my corporate job, booked a one way ticket to Spain, and didn’t look back….at least for 8 months. When my year of teaching English in Spain was over, I promised my boyfriend and my parents that I would return home, that my Read More…
When you have the money to travel, you never have the time. When you have the time, you never have the money. Sometimes, though, you find yourself with just enough of each to take that trip you really want, but can’t find anyone to go with. Too many times, I let plans slip away because no one was able to come with me. Finally, I pushed my fears aside and did it: I tried traveling solo for the first time.
So you’re finally crossing Iceland off your bucket list. Congratulations! Now what? Luckily, Iceland has prepared for tourists that aren’t sure what to do, where to go, or what they want. After some research and a few trips to the magical land myself, I’ve compiled a list of the best apps for Iceland travel.
There is an age-old question of all travelers going anywhere: to rent a car, or not to rent a car? If you’re planning a trip to Iceland, you probably already have a loose itinerary in mind and are now just looking at logistics to carry out all your adventurous plans. If you need to decide whether to rent a car or take a tour bus in Iceland, you’re going to need all the facts.
Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could be a travel expert? Do all the right things all the time? No one wants to intentionally be disrespectful, rude, or offensive, but sometimes we make mistakes. I’ve compiled a list of travel faux pas during my travels to share with you so you can go into your next trip prepared!
Everyone who travels inevitably makes mistakes. Most of the time, we spend our time trying to avoid disastrous travel mistakes. Sometimes, the best memories come out of wrong turns and mishaps. If everything always went perfectly, it would be much more boring. Throughout my travels, I’ve learned that some mistakes are good to make.
I’ve been living in the past since I returned to the United States after my fairy tale year living in Southern Spain in 2014-2015. It’s been over a year since I got back physically, but mentally I’m still there. I’m going through the motions of living back home, but I’m not really here.
Every traveler has a travel bucket list. Mine is forever growing and insatiable. These 20 things look amazing, and I have to see them all in my life!
While James and I were living in Spain last year, we obviously worked with Spanish people. In Spain, everyone is of Spanish heritage and identifies as Spanish. However, in the melting pot of America, not many people identify as “American.” If you ask an American what their nationality is, they will likely say Irish, German, Asian, Read More…
Tourist traps lure in unsuspecting tourists. They try to fool you into thinking they offer a good representation of what the country has to offer and what the locals eat all the time. Tourist traps might look appealing from the outside, but they usually leave you with empty wallets and unfulfilled appetites. You might be saying to yourself, Read More…
