How to go to Iceland
It made me
Stunned
 "One of the most amazing places you'll ever see"
How I did it: Went on a geology trip to iceland, last april, got to see loads of sights. Its pretty easy to get some relativily cheap flights out there and the cost of living isnt too bad i guess. Truely a phenomenal place, with so much to it, you'll be stcuk with where to go, theres just so much to choose from ! Lessons & tips: Walking Boots ! Resources: Geology

It made me 
How I did it: On my way home after a year living in Germany I stopped in Iceland to visit a friend. It was the perfect vacation. I had a place to stay, and as a native she could show me the best of everything! The nature there is so beautiful, like something out of Lord of the Rings, it's completely different from the midwest. I also got to party like a rockstar with several of the locals....a night I will always remember!! Read how I did it…
It made me
a better person.
How I did it: So growing up there is not nearly as much of an accomplishment as saving the money to visit or vacation there, but I've done that too. All we did is decide that we were going to take the trip(really!). Saved some money, booked the plane tickets early and just went for 10 days. No number of visits or length of time will satisfy my love of that country. The locals are truly blessed. Read how I did it…

Grew Up in Iceland
9 months ago
I grew up in Iceland (born American) after my father was stationed at NAS Keflavik (now closed) in 91 . I spent 7 amazing and years there before moving back to the states at 13, but now have my sights set on returning. That trip has recently become a reality as I will be taking some friends on a trip there in June 09! Nothing special about the trip, just getting my passport, saving up money and catching a plane over.

This is going off the list
9 months ago
I applied to two fellowships to go to Iceland this year. After having received news in early January that I hadn’t been selected for the first, this weekend I found out I was also not shortlisted for the second. So that cuts Iceland out for now, or at least in the ways I had expected it to happen. But actually, I am not upset about this, not in the way I might have been in the past. I think the universe is telling me something about what are my motivations behind my goals and my actions—and the more aware I become, the more the universe takes on a “no-bullshit” attitude (as in making me be real 100 percent of the time).
So, off the list it goes, but definitely not indefinitely.
Going in June!

My mom and I have decided to take a mother-daughter trip to Iceland in June. I’m SO excited to see the geothermal springs, volcanos and hike in the rugged terrain!

I am so not prepared. Well, not as prepared as I should be or usually am. I normally have many lists already made even if I am going on a trip to another state. I did get my Icelandic Kronos and a passport. That is it. I have to call my credit cards and bank to inform them of my possible overseas usage, I have to call t-mobile to make sure I can use some form of communication via my Blackberry (which I hate and refuse to use under any other circumstance), get my plug converter (which I am getting tonight), buy film for the medium format camera(next week on a lunchbreak), find the charger for the digital camera, wash and pack my clothes, and update my ipod with everything I could want to listen to while away. Oh yeah, and it would be good to get a couple of books for the plane. I will get it all done, I am just tired. I never ever want to plan a trip this far in advance ever again. I have lost my steam. Going out tomorrow to practice my camera skills. I will get it all done. I don’t have a choice.

5 Weeks and 2 Days to go
15 months ago
It is finally sinking in that I will be going that far away by myself. I planned it specifically to go by myself, but lately my anxiety gets much worse when I spend extended periods of time alone in my own head. It will be nice to see something other than buildings. Solitude in Iceland – you can’t ask for anything more peaceful than that. I can’t wait!
