Also, local people can help me find places to visit that are matching my interests a lot better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend and I being in Iceland in '15, we looked for northern lights, suddenly the alarm rings, tells us it is gonna happen big time.

Checking the cloud radar, only place to view at would be cloudless for one hour 4 hours in the future, around 350 km away from us.

We managed to race through a heavy snowstorm, around the coastline with freakishly high waves, slippery slopes, narrow bridges, evading a couple of storm-blown birds.

Most awesome northern lights ever, worth every nerve I blew while driving that insane trip!
