Traveling as a group isn’t always easy, but I’ve loved every trip with my friends Tere and Lucia. We make a great team, and while our recent plans got canceled, I can’t wait to travel together again.

Iceland is hands down one of my favorite places. It felt like being on another planet—the landscapes were otherworldly, and the people were so kind. We visited in early spring, so we got to experience every type of weather, from rain to snowstorms to clear skies. Unfortunately, we missed out on the northern lights, but it’s definitely on our list for next time. Even though we were only there for five days, we’re all itching to go back. Next time in the summer and for longer than five days! My advice for Iceland: pack your warmest clothes, bring your favorite snacks, and make sure you choose the right travel buddies because you’ll be together 24/7.
