One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking Iceland. It was my first major trip and truly a life-changing experience. For two weeks I solo backpacked the southern region of Iceland. Trekking through mountains, rivers, valleys, volcanos, glaciers, and more.. my heart was overwhelmed with contentment, joy, gratitude, bliss and serenity. Definitely looking forward to coming back and exploring more!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides endless life stories.. I’d say authentic company and venturesome cooking skills. Always looking to try something new!
