South Shore Adventure
Hi!
My name is Kelly, and I'm a Toronto-born and bred web geek with a serious case of wanderlust. After living in New Zealand for 18 months, I've since travelled to Australia, Thailand, South Korea, British Columbia, Peru, Paris, the UK, and Iceland. My next big adventure is to re-tetris my life so that I can become location independent and travel long term again. Most recent articles

South Shore Adventure
It’s been well over six months since I visited Iceland, and I realize now that I’ve waited to long to recount my time there. As I was only in the country for a few days, I didn’t really have a chance to become familiar with where I was going or what I was seeing. The trip was a stopover on the way home to Toronto from London, and so I tried to cram as much in as possible. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas!
Being a solo traveller, tours like these are an invaluable way to get out and see an unfamiliar country. While I would much have preferred to rent a car and travel about with friends on my own, that wasn’t an option on this trip. In addition to this day-long tour, I also took the Golden Circle tour that everyone who passes through Iceland takes. These photos are my favourite from the South Shore Adventure trip that I took with Reykjavik Excursions on my third day.
Vacation 2013 – Where to go?!
I don’t think I can do Vietnam in 14 days. To do so, would mean being on the move every second day in order to visit all the places I want to go — and that would mean barely having enough time to actually experience where I’m at. I really need an additional week, at the least, in order to do this comfortably.
I think I should plan to visit a country where I don’t have preconceived notions of what I want that trip to be like (Vietnam has long been my dream destination), so that I’m not feeling frustrated and disappointed.
