Northward Ho!
So for my last day in Iceland I thought it would be a great idea to drive North, as far I could, before I got tired and had to turn back. 14 hours later and I have one beautiful drive behind me.
I started with a 124km journey from Reykjavik to Hruanfossar. A very scenic route with the pay-off being a set of gorgeous baby waterfalls. From Hraunfossar I attempted to go to Hvammstangi.

New York Travel Fest
Two days down and the NY Trav Fest is over. A lot of great tips from some interesting travelers like Gary Arndt and Albert Podell. I’ve got a lot of new ideas for places that are cheap and right next to where I am going.

Hello world!
and welcome to my record of all the mischief I manage to get myself into while solo traveling abroad. There will be a lot more posts closer to my departure day in May.
