Helgafell
When it comes to taking a holiday I am either ridiculously over-prepared—I’m talking a binder filled with things to do and see and directions on how to get there from the hostel, possibly even a planner telling me what to do on which day—or hopelessly flying by the seat of my pants. My second visit to Iceland found me somewhere in the middle of the preparedness spectrum—I had a few ideas roughed out and vague directions, but would soon find myself terribly lost. On two separate occasions I found myself wandering the various paths of Elliðaádalur in search of Heiðmörk, an area that promised to provide a nice day adventure, but according to some locals, was actually a place for teens to go to fool around and buy drugs. In retrospect, it’s probably a good thing that I missed out on that experience, but crossing various highways and trekking through countless neighbourhoods guided only by my cell phone’s compass app wasn’t the best way to spend my time.

The Hardest Part of Travelling That Nobody Talks About
If you're a regular reader, you've probably realised my absence in the last couple of weeks. For that, I can only apologise, but getting back into every-day life has been challenging. I've been back in my home country for a month or so now, and I have been experiencing emotions and difficulties I've never had to face before. Everyone talks about the build-up and excitement of going away, but what about coming home?

A Different Kind of Success
As people it’s natural we go through a number of unique and sometimes confusing phases of life. We are creatures consistently fleeting to and craving change. New seasons often bring new people, new ideas, and new opportunities that are continuously building themselves on top of each other. Sometimes leading to futures and moments we hoped for and other times to lessons we didn’t know we needed.

Solo Travel for Women Is Not 'Brave'. Top Story - November 2019.
Since being back in home, I have been working with temp agencies. I don't want the commitment of a full-time job because I've been hooked on travel. I take any job that comes up; bar work, waitressing at weddings, teaching, activity camps. Anything to help me purchase that next flight out of here...

Why You Should Walk the Camino de Santiago
In 2016, I had the adventure of a lifetime. I walked the epic Camino de Santiago Frances. The Camino de Santiago Frances is an incredible 700-kilometer trek across Nothern Spain. The trail begins in France at Saint Jean Pied du Port and crosses the mighty Pyrennes into Spain.

And although the British territory remained 10th for both 2017 and 2018, its safety index rose by +0.015 from 1.393 in 2017 to 1.408 in 2018.

Tips for Traveling on Your Own
Traveling by yourself can be an unforgettable experience. It can give you a sense of self-sufficiency, as you may be faced with challenges that you have to solve on your own in a strange land. All of this can be incredibly satisfying and transform you into a better person. With that being said, traveling alone can come with its ups and downs and can be dangerous in certain situations.
