About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

London, England

May 18, 2014

Spent 2 days in London before trip to Iceland and Greenland. Visited Big Ben, Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and rode theLondon Eye (Ferris wheel) for views of the city. Then walked from Westminster Bridge along the Thames River to London Bridge. Beautiful sunny day with people laying out sunbathing.

Iceland

May 19, 2014

Caught early flight from London, England to Reykjavik, Iceland. Walked around the city and the harbor. Next day took a tour to the Golden Circle. This day trip included (1) Thingvellia National Parl where the North American and European tectonic plates are separating by 2 cm per year. (2) Geysir which was largest Geysir but now dormant but the Strokkur Geysir was very active and (3) Gulfoss Waterfall. The last day went to the Blue Lagoon thermal spa before my flight.
