Year in Review: FURIOUSLY HAPPY Movement in Action

I really love Norman! 'The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.'-Jenny Lawson The end of the year is always a time for reflection and 2019, I can honestly say, was the greatest year of my life. I began the year in Iceland and concluded it in Oregon. …

Adventures in Iceland: The Story of an Adventure

'This is a story of how a [Kelly] had an adventure, and found [herself] doing and saying things altogether unexpected.'-J.R.R. Tolkien As the tales from my 'Adventures in Iceland' concludes, I am filled with gratitude. I came back from Iceland a changed person. It was my first foray into international solo travel and I did …

Adventures in Iceland: Reykjavik

As I said in Planning for Iceland, my hotel was about 15 minutes from the center of Reykjavik. It was also easy to get there! After the odyssey of my first morning, I wasn't planning on going into the city. The front desk said it was about a 20 minute walk and I was so …

Adventures in Iceland: The Northern Lights

As I mentioned in a Planning for Iceland, the great hope of my trip was to see the Northern Lights. In the weeks leading up to my trip, I lost complete hope that I would actually see them. See, the Aurora are a temperamental phenomena as you have to have perfect conditions: in the very …

Adventures in Iceland: Whale Watching

For someone who is always cold, I always manage to find things to do that will make me colder. Deciding to go whale watching in Iceland in January would be one of those things. The irony is, the more fun you have the less you seem to notice you've lost feeling in your fingers. I …

Adventures in Iceland: Golden Circle Tour

When I decided to visit Iceland, I immediately knew that I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Thus, the Golden Circle and Northern Lights Package was the obvious choice. My hunt for the Northern Lights will be forthcoming, so I'm just going to focus on the Golden Circle, one of the most popular tours to …

Adventures in Iceland: The Blue Lagoon

One of the most famous sites to visit in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon. Once again, my journey there was booked from Icelandair. Ideally I would have gone the last day of my trip, to relax before leaving, but I ended up visiting day two. I highly recommend bringing as little as possible, getting lots …

Adventures in Iceland: The Lava Tunnel

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by volcanos. Maybe it was growing up in the 'Ring of Fire' (although there were no volcanos in Lake Arrowhead, CA) or that Dante's Peak really made impression on me. Whatever it was, I have been hooked. So going to the Land of Fire and Ice, …

Adventures in Iceland: Packing for Winter in Iceland

When I told people I was going to Iceland in January, most thought I was nuts. The immediate response was almost always, "But it will be so cold!" If anyone has seen the '90s movie, D2: The Mighty Ducks, you will know that Iceland is green and Greenland is made out of ice. While that is not …
