A traveler’s mind

If you have ever met a traveller in your life, you know a traveler is a very weird animal. Travelers don’t see the world the way you use to do, they see the world like a huge adventure book where they create the story written in its page. Travelers think destiny is in their hand, […]

Travel light and see the world!

Some time ago while talking to Steve, a friend met in Reykjavik, about traveling and the best way to do that and much more, he told me about how he found himself into Minimalism, trying to possess only 100 things. Useless to say, I loved the idea. As many of you already know, my philosophy […]

My 1st impressions of Myvatn

My first walk in Reykjalið, the place where I will be living for the next five months has been a very quiet one. As soon as you step out of the hotel you don´t hear anything at all, just the sound of a lonely car coming form far away, if it is coming. The landscape […]
