a stranger in a strange land. reykjavik. iceland. 11.08.2013

i arrived in reykjavik, iceland today. flying in. the landscape from high above already captivating me. this is the first place that i have been to that i am really truly on my own. no partner or travel companion, not somewhere i've already been, nor do i know anyone here. its truly a unique and interesting feeling. but i am open to whatever lies ahead. i'm sure there will be many challenges, but i'm sure they will all be very rewarding in their own way. i look forward to the ice and cold. the environment is what drew me here in the first place. i love the clean crisp cold air, the snow blowing into my face. of course its not always like this here, but it could happen at anytime, and that is what appeals to me. the unknown. so, i'm jumping in, and maybe i'll just stay a little while longer.
