Even some of the cowboys back home would have been jealous with the Land Rover we were about to get into in Reykjavik. Jacked up as all hell we scrambled inside giddily, feeling as though I’m a little kid crawling into a POW-POW-POWERWHEELS! If I was excited about anything, it was this. We were spending… Continue reading Nature’s Playground: The Golden Circle with Superjeep.is
Somehow we had managed to fly over 9 times zones or so in a matter of 3 days from Anchorage, Alaska to Reykjavik, Iceland - the land of renewable energy, where sheep outnumber people, and the Prime Minister's phone number is listed in the phone book. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief as we landed.… Continue reading Things to Do in Reykjavik, Iceland
Anyone who knows me knows that I have a small obsession for anything vintage. If you looked at my wardrobe at home, it is horribly apparent (you can't tell by my backpacker clothes). So you can imagine the delight I found when we walked into Kex Hostel. Kex, the Icelandic word for cookie/biscuit, is a… Continue reading Weekend Review: Kex Hostel in Reykjavik, Iceland
What can I say? It has been a whirlwind few weeks making our way through nature's playground - Iceland! While I did happen to miss Wednesday's post, I give you some Friday awesomeness to bring in your weekend. Reykjavik, Iceland has some of the best street art/graffiti I've seen and on a massive scale. The… Continue reading Photo Friday: Reykjavik Street Art
It had almost been 5 months since our last hostel experience out in Tupiza, Bolivia- yet here we found ourselves - in Iceland - and really, the only way to make this a budget endeavor in any way was to either Couchsurf or hostel it. With our breakneck pace of doing thing around Reykjavik, I… Continue reading Weekend Review: Reykjavik Downtown Hostel
Don't say I didn't give you enough time to plan. T-Minus 34 days until I hit the big 3-0 and I'm inviting YOU to my birthday party at Oktoberfest. Join us for a few days of beerful events. To be honest, I'm hoping to consume enough to forget that my birthday even really happened and… Continue reading You’re Invited to My Oktoberfest Birthday!
It is weird writing about our “next big trip” - something I couldn’t even fathom at the beginning of our last year in Central and South America. It is like we are a perfect fit for long term travel or something. So I present: THE PLAN OF ATTACK - FALL/WINTER 2012 Because, you know, there… Continue reading The Upcoming Plan of Attack
Today's guest poster is the amazing Jolie Goodnight - jazz singer, florist, burlesque dancer extraordinaire, and best friend of mine. She has such an enchanting life of beauty and class that I thought she would make a great contribution to Over Yonderlust after her recent trip to France. You can find her on her personal… Continue reading Guest Post: Provence Market Days
I am a museum nut. There. I said it. I like to spend hours looking at things with childish wonder - eyes completely open. The Natural History Museum in London did not disappoint. Not only is an activity like this budget friendly (they do not charge admission for the general exhibits), but can provide a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Natural History Museum
While meandering our way around Segovia Spain in the rain, we came across this tunnel that not only protected us from the torrential downpour. Just for a moment it allowed us to experience a slice of Segovian life. There is nothing quite like the sound of rain softly hitting the cobblestones of the street in… Continue reading Travel Photography – A Peek into Life in Segovia Spain
I must admit, I have a sick obsession with black and white photos. The Segovia Cathedral will be bringing in this Photo Friday. It really caught my eye while we were traveling around Spain in 2010. This is when I really started to notice that architecture in Europe was so different and unique - I… Continue reading Travel Photography – Segovia Cathedral
Merry Christmas (Eve)! Today's religious celebrations will be brought to you by the Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury, England. Check out these gorgeous images of the Salisbury Cathedral. Shaun and I got to see this beautiful cathedral during the Stonehenge tour we took while in London. This cathedral can boast the country's tallest spire, the world's… Continue reading Travel Photography – Images of the Salisbury Cathedral, England
A long time coming I know! While we have traversed a good portion of the world on OYL, we did do a fair amount of traveling prior to our travel blogging life. We have added a new page to our "Previous Trips" section of Over Yonderlust. If you would like to read about our second… Continue reading New Page: London Pt. 2
This was an installment at the Natural History Museum in London. I couldn't help myself in regards to taking a picture... it looked so cool! This Natural History Museum London exhibition really took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting so many modern art installments. I'm hoping one day I'll have more time to wander around… Continue reading Travel Photography – Natural History Museum Exhibition London
Our first day in London was spent trying to adjust to the jet lag we were experiencing and talking to our friends about our potential plans for the next week. Our friends Doug and Steph (who live in London) were telling us about this swanky club that was hoppin' on Sunday nights - The Notting… Continue reading Travel Photography – Notting Hill Arts Club – London
