Day 7 - January 2, 2020 Ever been somewhere so windy that if someone opens the front door to the guesthouse, your ears pop from the pressure difference? No? Well, that's too bad! 😉 Needless to say, the weather got a little crazy overnight, and the brown landscape was blanketed with new snow and hurricane… Continue reading Finding Myself at 65°N – The Solo Icelandic Winter Adventure: Day 7 Hanging Out On Sólheimajökull

Finding Myself at 65°N – The Solo Icelandic Winter Adventure: Day 6 South Coast Adventuring
Day 6 - January 1, 2020 8am alarm wasn't as painful as I thought it would be after a 2am bedtime.

December 28th - Day 2... because I was still very new to this whole "darkness until midday" concept that is winter in Iceland, my alarm went off at a bright and cheery 6:30am. I'm use to hotels in the U.S., which are bustling at such an hour, but it was dead quiet at Efstidalur. I… Continue reading Finding Myself at 65°N – The Solo Icelandic Winter Adventure Day 2: Silfra Snorkeling, Wintry Waterfalls, and Snowy Streets of Borgarnes
