I went snorkeling in Iceland, at the Silfra fissure in Þingvellir National Park.

Be Campy At Goðafoss Waterfall
What does it feel like when all of your dreams come true? Apparently, like standing too close to a waterfall. A bit damp, but still pretty freakin’ awesome.
Get Vertigo on a Volcano Crater
While in Iceland, I took a long, sleepy bus ride with Iceland Excursions to Saxholl, a volcano crater located at the very tip of their western peninsula. Located in Snæfellsjökull National Park, it’s probably one of the most epic things I’ve ever seen.
Puffin Peepin’ in Látrabjarg
Puffins, the second most adorable creature known to man (Jason Segel is the first) are a huge contrast to the staggering, deathly cliffs of Látrabjarg, Iceland.

Snappin’ Pics Like A Boss At Harpa

Bummin’ Around Akureyri
Sometimes, I’m boring. I was boring in Akureyri, but Akureyri is not. It’s gorgeous, for starters.
Ridin’ Short Horses & Hanging With Of Monsters & Men
Remember that time I ran into Of Monsters and Men in Iceland? Me too. Hipster level, expert!
Soakin’ In The Myvatn Nature Baths
When everyone and anyone goes to Iceland, they head right to The Blue Lagoon. Forget that — I stopped at the Myvatn Nature Baths in Northeastern Iceland. It was absolutely worth the trek.
Sippin’ Tea At Stukuhusid Cafe
Welcome to the Westfjords! The most northern part of Iceland, the Westfjords is home to adorable puffins, spotty internet, and tons and tons of fjords! More about that later. Here’s what you should expect upon your triumphant arrival.
Exploring Krýsuvík Geothermal Area
Here I am, on top of a volcano overlooking the Krýsuvík Geothermal area. This was my first tour with Iceland Excursions, and we ventured out into Southwestern Iceland in to find the origin of standard backgrounds that come with Apple software updates.
