If you have been following along on my Instagram recently, you already know I just returned from an amazing trip to Iceland! This trip was planned in only a couple of months and sparked from a Facetime with my BFF. Kate was my college roommate and is currently living and playing volleyball professionally in Reykjavik, Iceland. I absolutely love to travel, so I thought this would be an incredible opportunity to go visit her and explore the country! I asked my current roommate and a friend from high school if they wanted to join me. Sure enough, they couldn't pass on this trip. We drank a ton of wine, closed our eyes, and booked the flight!
The flight there was quick and easy, and when we landed, I discovered that Iceland was even more beautiful than I imagined. I still feel like I was not able to capture how stunning the views were, even though my camera was basically glued to my hand the entire trip. What was really incredible was to see how much untouched land there was. I could really appreciate the open space and how beautiful the scenery was without any distracting buildings, resorts, or construction.
We traveled around the Golden Circle, which is a geographic circle of several of Iceland's popular tourist destinations. This included their National Park, wild horses, geysers, and waterfalls. We also booked an early morning trip to the Blue Lagoon, took a road trip to Vik, and spent a day strolling around the city of Reykjavik. I really can't put into words how amazing this trip was and it has only encouraged me to travel more. It is amazing to experience different cultures, try local foods, and see how lifestyles vary across the world. I'm so excited to share my trip with everyone and can't wait to travel to Europe again this Fall!
