So this winter we went to Iceland (finally). We had originally planned to go last year but you know, house stuff, moving etc. So anywho, we finally did it… and now I’m finally getting around to posting photos in one place haha. I have so many more but here are the ones that were at the top of the pile. This post contains some highlights from the first few days of our trip which we spent in Reykjavik. Above is a photo from the top of Hallgrímskirkja which overlooks all of Reyjkavik. So glad we went during winter! It was absolutely beautiful!Read More

Like most people, I love Fall. Summer comes to and end and the air starts to smell cleaner, the breeze is cooler and crisper, leaves are falling, and of course, ideal weather for hiking! Like we do every year, we make sure that we always head to Shenandoah as many times as we can before the weather gets too cold.

I think mostly because I felt like there wasn’t much to really post about and I was still in a place where I was recovering internally with all the changes going on in my life. Oh well, that’s all in the past now and I feel like I’m in a much more exciting chapter in my life (not that the last few weren’t eventful but at least things feel like they’re in the upward direction). Anywho, I guess I owe you a quick recap, so here we go…Read More

It’s been a few weeks now that I’ve been meaning to get back to Want & Wonder. I kept the intentions of drafting up some posts but life stuff kept popping up. Not necessarily bad life things… plenty of great things actually, just things that have become very demanding of time, not to mention spending 8-10 hours a day staring at a computer screen five days a week, the last thing I’ve been itching to do at the end of my days has been to crack open my laptop but I promise things are about to change and I’ll be on here much more to share my life adventures and or lack-thereof if adult life deems it so. 😉Read More

I don’t know about you but I’m very much over this muggy east-coast summer weather. Can’t wait to say bye-bye to the humidity and heat and hello to some crisp air, long hikes, chasing daylight, waxed canvas and cozy layers!Read More
