                  Mythical Iceland

Although Iceland does not exactly top many travelers’ lists when it comes to European trips, it should. This island country in Scandinavia is surreal in its beauty. It is, in fact so beautiful, the landscape so mystical, and its culture so steeped in legends and myths, it feels otherworldly. This relatively sparsely populated country lies on shaky ground: it lies on 130 volcanoes, 30 of which are active. However, they are exactly the source of one of Iceland’s biggest attractions – the numerous geysers. Bathing in the mineral-rich Blue Lagoon, an open-air geothermal lagoon with warm milky blue water is an unmissable experience. Depending on the season, you can also see the midnight sun (in June) or the polar lights (August to April). Iceland is also an extremely well organized country with friendly locals.

Tuscany is hailed the world over as the most heavenly landscape on the planet, and the reputation is well-earned. No description can come close to depicting the reality of the golden hills, the proud and solemn cypresses reaching to touch the brilliant blue sky, the sound of crickets in olive groves, and the charming medieval towns that seem to be perched on every hilltop. With mouthwatering food, fascinating culture and architecture, fashionable stores, excellent wines and laidback locals, there’s no better destination for a vacation than Tuscany.
