Dream Destination: Iceland

Puffins!
Puffins!

I’ll occasionally feature places I’d like to travel. We’ll start with Iceland.

While my spouse and children’s ideal vacations include pleasant weather and white sand beaches, mine entails a lot of walking and being properly clothed. I enjoy exploring, visiting historical sites, museums, and occasionally going on adventures. I also enjoy snow! But for the time being, I’ll gladly tag along with my family because my children are still young. When kids are old enough to learn about these sites, I will take them there. London, my favorite city in the world, would likely be our first stop.

Music inspires me. When I first heard Sigur Ros’ Svefn-g-Englar in 2000, I was interested. The ambient music and ghostly voice simply amazed me. I have a wonderful foreign language playlist on my iPod, but this one piqued my curiosity. The language was unusual; it seemed like it had been made up! After some research, I discovered that it’s by an Icelandic band noted for using constructed language in their songs. I was amazed, especially after seeing their videos, which use Iceland as a backdrop. The place is just gorgeous!
I don’t have any plans to go there right now, but I’d like to eventually. I wish to take a family road trip on the Ring Road and see geysers, waterfalls, and towering cliffs. And, of course, the northern lights!
