Stories of travel and diabetes
In case you missed it... Part 1 - Keflavík to VíkPart 2 - Vík to Höfn After dropping Anna off at the airport, we made our way back towards Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland and home to about 2/3 of the country's population. We were going to be here for just one night before heading off …
Continued from Part 1. From here, we headed east along the Ring Road. We took a few short stops during our drive, but one was extra epic. There was a gravel road that ran off of the highway and we decided to follow it. Thankfully, we had a 4x4 vehicle because this drive was bumpy. …
Our Roadtrip Around The Southern Half Of The Island Nation Rachel responded to a post she saw on Instagram from a couples photographer who was looking to go to Iceland and invited a couple along to split the cost in exchange for a photo shoot. This was how we met Anna. I knew of Iceland …
Iceland has been in the news this week with consistent earthquake tremors that have led some to believe a volcanic eruption in the populated southwestern peninsula is imminent. No need to worry, however; both Reykjavík and Keflavík Airport are deemed to be out of the way of potential lava flow. While 2/3 of the Icelandic …

Prague is one of the most walkable cities that I have ever been to. It's winding, cobblestone streets leading towards Old Town Square are dotted with shops, pubs, restaurants, and more. You can easily pass people without the awkward struggle of waiting for them to make space for you or jumping out of the way …
