Touring Iceland’s South Coast

by 6 Comments

It’s now been over a month since I returned from my week in Iceland, and I have been very lazy with getting my photos, video, and memories from that trip organized. Iceland is a stimulating place to visit, so it’s easy to end up with piles of photos and piles of footage that seem daunting to get through once you get home.

But, this past weekend I put my visions of perfectionism aside so that I could actually produce something: a memory for me and a snippet of one of my favourite days from that trip.

Locations shown in the video:

  • South Coast Iceland
  • Seljalandsfoss
  • Skógafoss
  • Sóheimajökull Glacier (Read about walking on the glacier here!)
  • Reynisdrangar Cliffs + Black Sand Beach + Vík

Have you been to any of these places? Let me know what you think!

What to pack for Iceland in April

by 8 Comments

In just a few days, I’ll be flying directly to Iceland from Edmonton. I’ve been counting down the days for a while, it’s hard to imagine that it’s so close. In reality, this blog is going to get a lot busier for the rest of the year, and it starts here.

I’ve been itching to pack my bags for a long time, ever since I bought these packing cubes. This weekend, I finally decided it’s a reasonable time to do so. I’m trying to stick with a carryon suitcase and a backpack, which will store my laptop, camera, etc. Here is a short video I made to show you the actual clothing I’m bringing with me.
