Don’t be fooled by the name of SAD cars. While these babies are over 10 years old, they pack a punch in personality. Sure, they may not be the most attractive car on the road there were a few strips of - but seriously, do you want that pressure while driving down dirt/rocky roads? I… Continue reading Takin’ the Long Way – Road Trippin’ with SAD Cars
If you guys saw our last weekend review, you had the chance to check out how awesome Kex Hostel was. And if they couldn't get any more awesome- they have their own fantastic restaurant inside their place- Saemundur. Every bit of food is locally sourced and in season- a concept that I love and is… Continue reading Weekend Review: Saemundur, the Kex Gastropub
“They call it Silfra - which means Silver in Icelandic - because all the bubbles make it look like silver rising to the top.” I’m not sure I entirely believe that but I was captivated by our DIVE.IS guides nonetheless. I was about to participate in one of the biggest boasting notches in my belt… Continue reading SCUBA Diving Silfra or How to Flounder in a Dry Suit
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.

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.

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
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
