The journey is just as important as the destination ✨

Are you unsure about travel these days?

Amidst widespread safety concerns and requirement confusion, many people are left also questioning: What is open? Will there be transportation? What about excursions? Can I..? Should I..? What if..?

That’s where I come in.

Have a destination in mind? I’ve got you.
Have wanderlust and no idea where to begin? I’ve got you.
Have concerns, questions, wish lists, celebrations, requests or accommodation needs?

I’ve got you.

This craziness isn’t over; but with the right help, we can live our lives while still being cautious, courteous, and curious.

Xo,
Sarah

Scroll 👉🏼 for sunrise 😍

Between boats dead in the water, truck batteries frying jumper cables, roadside motels with old food in the fridge, record low water levels, bugs and about 8-9 load/unload trips…

We found sunrises, stories, and precious moments with family (and a few coyotes).

It wasn’t the vacation we had planned for - but it was definitely a trip we will never forget!

I’m pretty sure the people who write those travel quotes about being lost have never ACTUALLY been lost 🥴

Getting lost is not enjoyable

👍🏼 Finding peace from the plan and exploring new places is enjoyable. Getting off, and eventually back on, the beaten path is enjoyable.

👍🏼 Finding your way after getting lost is enjoyable. Triumphantly realizing you’ve got this is enjoyable.

👍🏼 Getting home and finding the really cool pictures of seemingly untouched, uncharted land is enjoyable.

But the actual getting lost? That part honestly kinda stinks.

And that’s okay.

Having a plan is okay. Exploring within boundaries is okay. And enjoying knowing where the heck you are is .. you guessed it .. okay!

You don’t have to get lost to be found.

✨ Travel Tip Tuesday ✨
📍Thórsmörk, Rif, Iceland

10 Tips to Know Before You Go 🛫

🇮🇸 US visitors must complete a health pass form, but are not required to take a Covid-19 PCR test prior to entry

🇮🇸 The water is some of the cleanest to drink in the world, but smells of sulfur due to geothermal energy

🇮🇸 Budget ahead of time. Iceland isn’t the cheapest, so planning what to expect for cost ahead of time will help avoid surprises

🇮🇸 Alcohol is not sold in grocery stores

🇮🇸 Almost everyone speaks English as well as Icelandic

🇮🇸 You must shower before entering the infamous Blue Lagoon (2nd picture). (Pro tip: it is close to the airport, so visit either at the beginning of your trip or the end.)

🇮🇸 The weather varies, and quickly, so pack prepared for various degrees of cold and leave wiggle room in your itinerary

🇮🇸 Bring a rain jacket when visiting waterfalls. More thank likely, you will get wet

🇮🇸 Winter is the best time to visit for a chance to see the Northern Lights. But the Aurora Borealis is actually not a guaranteed view in the winter. Be sure to have other reason for your visit, or you might end up disappointed.

🇮🇸 In the summer, the sun can set as late as midnight and rise as early as 3am! Be prepared
