Iceland 2015

Iceland is such a beautiful place. Reykjavik city is nice, but the country side is just .. wow. Just a few snaps of my favourite bits. We didn't see any whales, but did spot a dolphin on one of the boat trips. We saw the Northern Lights!! But not as well as I had hoped, it was quite cloudy the day of our trip and you could only really notice that behind the clouds there was light dancing. It was good to see something, but would have been alot more magical if we'd have seen it on a clear night.

Iceland is definitely one of, if not the best holiday I've been on for opening my eyes to how beautiful the world can be. Luke and I are planning on going back during the winter time (it was quite average temperatures whilst we were there) to see it all snowy..

My Travel Bucket List

Travelling never really interested me until recently. I always viewed travelling as a 'holiday' and made sure it was to a hot country with loads of beach and all inclusive cocktails, whereas now I can really understand the travel bug and why so many people travel for a gap year, or have a list of places they must see/discover before they die. Luke and I are trying to branch out with our 'holidays' and discover places, rather than travel to somewhere hot - this year we're going to Iceland for 5 days and I can't wait [45 days to go!!], we've booked 4 trips over the 5 days so we'll hopefully be able to explore Iceland and then have a day spent around the shops and getting some traditional Icelandic pieces to bring home as souvenirs.

I thought it'd be quite a fun idea to list countries, or places, I really want to visit, just off the top of my head so that I know they're truly my 'to visit' places.

// Iceland [Done September 2015!]
// Australia [I've visited Perth and Fremantle before, but would love to tour the whole of Aus]
// Tazmania
// New Zealand [bonus for this one is that Luke loves The Hobbit so is more keen to go here!]
// Alaska
// Canada
// Rome
// Disney World Orlando
// Ireland/Giants Causeway

So far, the only one I think I can truly cross off will be Iceland after going in September, but it may be that I need to go back if we miss anything out or love it so much.

Have you travelled to any of the above places? Or maybe you've written a post similar to thing on your travel bucket list? I'd love to read your posts!
