What To Pack Before You Go to Iceland

Read Now

I just got back from an amazing week touring Iceland. I could tell you about all of the amazing things I did (climbing a glacier!) and saw (puffins flying everywhere), but I think it’s more important to be prepared. This is a country unlike any other and while you can expect to keep things pretty low maintenance, packing what you need is critical to really enjoy your time.

Haleakala at Sunrise

Read Now

Legend says that to help his mother, the demi-god Maui climbed more than 10,000 feet to the summit and waited while the sun slept in the giant crater of Haleakala. When the sun awoke, and the first rays of sunshine began to appear, Maui caught the sun with his coconut-fiber lasso and demanded that the sun move more slowly across the sky to make the days longer. Left with no other options, the sun and Maui struck a deal- 6 months of the year the sun would move at the speed he liked, and the other 6 months he would move slowly to appease Maui. Pleased with the arrangement, Maui released the sun to continue its journey across the sky.
