Northern Lights:The dance of the Green Spirits

Road trip across Iceland: Day 1, Reykjavik-Hofn
Definitely one of the richest itinerary to drive through in Iceland, the road from Reykjavik to Hofn can only astonish you if, combined with with the Golden Circle, is driven all in one day. So much to see, too much maybe to be handled in 12 hours drive, while dealing with a cold and windy […]

Pro and cons of living in Iceland

Many of you may not know but the benches around the Pond, the lake downtown Reykjavik, tell stories. There are 16 benches around the lake.

Simply glorious! If I would have to use a word to use to describe such a great day, it would be this one. The sun started to shine early this morning, and even before it was right in the sky, we were all already on board of the truck, hitting the Southern road of Iceland. […]

The Blue Lagoon, at night!
The Blue Lagoon in Reykjavik is one of those surprising places and experiences that managed to make me forget about everything and enjoy a great moment of pure pleasure while traveling.
