Reykjavik, Iceland is My Next Trip

Reykjavik is the center of culture and life for the Icelandic people and is a “Must Do’ for any traveler’s bucket list. The city is an Outstanding location for solo women, men, couples, and travelers 50+ to visit. Iceland is my birthday location this year.

What You Should Do: Absolutely make sure you explore the city’s natural wonders. The Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa, has warm waters rich in minerals. For more spectacular sites, go whale watching, and you could possibly spot some dolphins or seals too. And, of course, the waterfront strolls and walkways are perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon walk to gather your thoughts. Here is what I used to pack for the trip.

But of course, if you’re looking to keep costs low, public transportation is by far the best option. This is simple travel, it looks like a blast from the past yet offers the ultimate in beautiful locations for the photographer.
