Traveling with only a backpack or carry-on may seem a bit daunting and even impossible for some of you (I'm looking at you, mother), but truly, it shouldn't be. Ever since the husband and I went on our first trip to Laos sans luggage, we haven't looked back. You may think that backpack travel is…
We concluded our Europe trip with a four day stopover in Iceland. W-O-W. Original post 6/9/2014 * It seems impossible that Iceland is a part of Earth. Just for some quick background information, Iceland is one of the most geologically active countries on the planet with hundreds of volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. In this aesthetically…

We spent 11 glorious days on this tiny island in between finishing our teaching contracts and our flight to Europe. We didn't want to spend all that time hanging around Korea...we would've spent more money doing that (if that's any indication of what a bargain it is to take a trip to Thailand!) on top of…
