Twenty-Something Travel Goes Round-The-World! An FAQ

Posted on 28. Jun, 2010 by Steph.

I had a moment of clarity last week when I finally bit the bullet and bought my ticket to Tokyo. It was exciting but kind of nerve wracking: my big trip just went from theoretical to very, very real. I’m definitely, seriously, honest-to-god leaving the country on September 22nd and I don’t know when I’m [...]

Posted on 18. Jun, 2010 by Steph.

Sigh… This time last year I was here. This frosty glacial lake is filled with icebergs which have broken off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. They really are that blue- thanks to the way that the light penetrates them. This inlet is a really popular tourist attraction in Iceland and has even been featured in a Bond [...]
