Episode 10: Icelandic Road Trip

After a few weeks of trying to squeeze in time to organize my photos, video, and thoughts on an incredible experience, here it is.  My words don’t fully reflect my gratitude to have stood on ground I’ve wanted to stand on for 27 years?!  It didn’t have to happen, I would’ve been fine.  But I’m really glad it did.

Episode 10: Icelandic Road Trip
