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. I even didn’t want to go there, at the very beginning. I had been already in a Blue Lagoon, one year earlier, in Mivatn, […]
I travel alone!
As you may already know at this stage I do love traveling alone. When I decide to travel alone is most of the time not only by chance but it’s my choice, and the more I travel by myself the more I like it. There are several points that make a solo travel something to […]
You can call me Manu
Here it is some curios facts you may find interesting, funny or if you know me in person just typical me! – I am left handed – I speak Norwegian – I actually have a Degree in Scandinavian Languages and Literatures (Norwegian and Danish) in Rome – I am a cat person who is […]
Dreaming Africa
Well, the big steps for this crazy adventure to begin have been prepared in the past few months. First it was the decision, in early January, just after I found the ad of Garry, the organizer, who was looking for some crazy adventurer to go all the way from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Cape Town, South […]
Vestmannaeyjar: unpronounceable and unforgettable!
HEYMAEY ISLAND, MARCH 15TH 2010! Getting to Heymaey, even if so close to the Icelandic coast, has been a travel itself. The ferry from Þorlákshöfn takes an absurd ride for about 3 hours before docking. That means if the sea is not calm like it was today, it can be hell. In fact, even with […]
Few things about the Icelanders!
– Icelanders make the best hot chocolate in the world! And their cinnamon cookies and the eggnog are simply delicious!!! – Icelanders love Christmas! They transform their towns, villages, houses in cozy worlds of colours, with lights everywhere. They offer you Christmas cookies even on the plane, they can wait hours on a frozen evening […]
Saudaje of Iceland
I still have in my eyes the beauty of Videy, a small island just in front of Reykjavik, peaceful and incredibly beautiful, I still have in my mind the beautiful icelandic people met on my last night at the hostel, their easy and friendly way to get in touch with people, their joy in introducing […]
South Iceland, a touch of Infinite
From up North directly to down South, destination the South Coast of Iceland and hopefully the black sand beaches of Vik. Well, it was too windy to make it down there. For a moment the little van we were in couldn’t even stay on the road. What a day, what an adventure, what […]
Back to Reykjavik and heading South
I left the North, Isafjordur almost with sadness today. I knew if I would have stayed longer, I risked to get stucked there for days due to the bad weather. But on the way to the airport and even more on the plane, looking at such beauty under my feet, so pure, so untouched, […]
Isafjordur, secret beauty of Iceland
Unbelievable Isafjordur! Iceland keeps this place secret, makes it difficult to every traveler ( or maybe only to me!) arriving here because Isafjordur can steal your heart. It is the most beautiful place on planet Earth. From the plane suddenly the clouds open and the mountains protecting the “Ice Fjord” reveal silently this unbelievable […]
Hjalmar! Simply amazing!
This was really one of the warmest welcome ever had in a new place.I knew they were cool,but the atmoshere was incredible at that concert hall, yesterday. All the show was in Icelandic.The only thing I understood was “takk fyrir”, thanks, and at the end I got the satisfaction to to say the same to […]
Today Iceland!
The doubt at the moment is: from Isafjordur, shall I take a lift by car to go back to Reykjavik, so I can see Iceland all the way down by car, enjoying and crossing amazing landscapes, or shall I take a flight to Egilstadir, on the east part of the Iceland, flying on the heart […]
My Nordic world – Reykjavik
Reykjavik, Iceland, March 8th 2010 Allora, my first impression of this Iceland and of the Icelanders: it’s a warm isle, and the Scandinavian world looks so far away from up here. The Icelanders are not as tall as I had imagined, and there are a lot of people with brown hair, much more than […]
