It’s not everyday you get to see a volcano! 🌋 (Even it was really just an open crater with smoke coming out 😅)

Happy Friday everyone! 🙆🏻‍♀️

I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without my rain jacket, water- and wind-resistant pants and my waterproof trail shoes when in Iceland! 🇮🇸

Did you know that there are three different languages spoken by the local natives of this part of Northern Italy? 🇮🇹

It had been our dream to visit Iceland for years now! From waterfalls to canyons, volcanos to glaciers, mountains to black sand beaches, there’s really no place on earth that compares to this otherworldly island.

Wow, I can’t believe 10,000 of you actually care about my (let’s be honest and call it what it is) glorified travel diary! 🙏🏻🥰 You guys are such gems and I wouldn’t have been able to quit my cushy, stable job two months ago to do what I love if I didn’t have you!

This morning was one of our most cherished throughout this whole trip! It rained literally the entire day before and we were pretty miserable that this put a pause on our road trip.

Wow is it good to be back home!! 🏡🥰

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

It’s not everyday you get to see a volcano! 🌋

It’s not everyday you get to see a volcano! 🌋 (Even it was really just an open crater with smoke coming out 😅) We had sadly missed the beautiful eruption and lava flow from the Fagradalsfjall, thinking that the flow would be more frequent! I had to learn on this trip to take what I can get and that there’s beauty in what you DO end up seeing and experiencing. If our trip to Iceland were so perfect, would I have any reason to come back? Maybe not. So here are a couple of shots of our morning hike to view the massive active volcano in the south of Iceland. It’s still a stunning sight as the smoke was illuminated by the sun rising in the horizon. Maybe one day I’ll be blessed to an erupting volcano oozing vibrant red streams and making sounds that give me goosebumps! But I was still blessed here nonetheless. 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Happy Friday everyone! 🙆🏻‍♀️ What have you got going on this weekend? It was my little brother’s 21st birthday yesterday so we’re going to spend time with him and my parents today! Maybe watch a new Marvel movie 🎥🍿🤗 Are you expecting a busy or laid back weekend? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without my rain jacket, water- and wind-resistant pants and my waterproof trail shoes when in Iceland! 🇮🇸 But there’s so much more that I needed to prepare for before we went on this trip and thankfully I had @jasonmengvisuals to make us a checklist of all the things we needed to get and do before we made our way to this amazing country. My latest post goes over Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting Iceland next year and I hope that if you’re planning your own trip soon, you’re well equipped after reading up on my article! Check it out in my bio link under “Latest Blog Post”! From months before you travel to the day you leave Iceland, I’ve got you covered! 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Did you know that there are three different langua

Did you know that there are three different languages spoken by the local natives of this part of Northern Italy? 🇮🇹 Italian, German and Ladin! You’ll often find that the stunning places and towns you travel to in South Tyrol, including this beauty of a lake, have three different names. I love immersing myself in different languages wherever I travel. It’s one of my favourite things about exploring other countries! One thing I do wish is that I knew my parents’ native languages better. I can understand a little bit of Portuguese (enough to get by reading some documents) but don’t know a lick of Vietnamese! Do you speak another language and hope to pass it down to someone else? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals .

It had been our dream to visit Iceland for years n

It had been our dream to visit Iceland for years now! From waterfalls to canyons, volcanos to glaciers, mountains to black sand beaches, there’s really no place on earth that compares to this otherworldly island. When we heard that Iceland was one of the first to invite tourists, we started to turn our dream into a reality. And the first thing we needed to figure out was, how were we going to get around this entire country to see and experience all of its richness? Barely ever taking our 4Runner out for a couple of one-night camp stays, we were never ones to take on #vanlife for a few days, let alone ten! It was time for us to truly experience the campervan lifestyle, and what better place to do that than in out-of-this-world Iceland?! After ten days on the road Jason and I will never forget, I don’t think I could ever recommend any other way to visit this amazing country! All my reasons and tips to campervan in Iceland are now on the blog!: Why You Should Rent a Campervan on Your Next Trip to Iceland. After having a read, how would you prefer to see Iceland? Thank you to @lavacarrental for making our dream a reality! We couldn’t have had this trip without our 4x4 VW Transporter and everything it was equipped with. 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Wow, I can’t believe 10,000 of you actually care

Wow, I can’t believe 10,000 of you actually care about my (let’s be honest and call it what it is) glorified travel diary! 🙏🏻🥰 You guys are such gems and I wouldn’t have been able to quit my cushy, stable job two months ago to do what I love if I didn’t have you! It’s not a walk in the park. Not every moment is as picture perfect as my photos may show things to be. I experience tons of times where I lack creativity and draw blanks for hours when I’m supposed to write. But you guys push me out of my funk time and time again! I’m so thankful to you when you take the time to message me about a trip you’re planning and ask me for tips, or when my blog post is coming out. Even every single reaction you send and comment you leave feels like a warm hug of support and it pushes me forward. So thank you to every single one of you for helping me get to where I am today! 💛 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

This morning was one of our most cherished throughout this whole trip! It rained literally the entire day before and we were pretty miserable that this put a pause on our road trip. The veil of clouds opening up in the East Fjords that sunrise reinvigorated our hope for our Iceland trip and revealed the mountain of Vestrahorn like you wouldn’t believe. The storm we endured the day before was long forgotten. 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Wow is it good to be back home!! 🏡🥰 If you

Wow is it good to be back home!! 🏡🥰 If you haven’t seen my stories yet, Jason and I already booked our flight out and part of our stay for our honeymoon next July 🤩 pretty much first thing yesterday morning after arriving home in Calgary the night before 😆 We managed to score our flights and stay on points alone 😲 Having found out recently that Aeroplan does stopovers on your flight itinerary for only an extra 5k points, we couldn’t resist adding a few nights somewhere amazing along the way! Any idea where we’re headed for our honeymoon and where we’ll be stopping on our way there? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals .
