in Europe, Guest Post, Iceland

This is a guest post by Mags Yip. Cold. Bitter. Ghostly. Barren. While that might be what most people think of Iceland, I beg to differ. Iceland seduced me just minutes after arriving in Keflavik. The Flybus took us into the twilight where wispy clouds hung low and colors dazzled in the …
