If you had told me, that I would be spending a week north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden in 2017. I would have laughed and said that wouldn’t be happening. Yet it did.

I got a chance to take the Aurora Expedition snowmobile tour and Arctic Adventure tour with Kiruna Guidetur.Continue Reading . . .

It was a day full of waterfalls and amazing views along to South Coast of Iceland. It was late afternoon when we arrived at one of my favorite places in Iceland – Jökulsárlón. My then-boyfriend and I were on an amazing 3-day adventure weekend road trip in Iceland. We both were super excited because we were going to head out to see an Iceland Ice Cave. We were being provided the Ice Caves by Vatnajokull Glacier from Guide to Iceland. One recommendation I do have is to look over iceland driving laws as they differ from ours and it is better to have some knoweldge on the road.Continue Reading . . .
