Photos Of Iceland That Will Make You Want To Go There Right Now
When I first decided to come to Iceland, I was overwhelmed with the choices of where to go in Iceland. I only had six days, so not a lot of time to explore the entire country. Plus, I couldn’t find my driver’s license, so renting a car was out of the question. Reykjavik Excursions made the decision an easy one with the many tours they offered as day trips out of Reykjavik. I am the type of person who prefers to base myself out of one area, rather than packing and unpacking bags every day. I went on both the Wonders of Snæfellsnes and the popular Golden Circle tour with a visit to the…

A Beautiful Spring Road Trip Through The Hills Of Crete
I went to Crete just as the season was opening, so not a lot of tours had started yet. Buses weren’t yet running to most parts of the island. I really wanted to see more of Crete, so I emailed the people at Natour Lab to see if their tours had started yet. Their tours, too, hadn’t yet begun, but they still invited me out with them on a road trip through the Sfakia region of Crete. Natour Lab has an amazing concept. They combine gastronomy and hikes. Those are my two favorite things in life, so we were made for each other. Little did I know when I accepted their…

Pictures From Ella, Sri Lanka To Nuwara Eliya
Ella, Sri Lanka was one of those places that you see a beautiful picture of, and so you decide to go. The problem is once you get there and you’ve seen the one waterfall where the beautiful pictures were taken, that’s it, and you wonder why you came so far to see so little. But what made it all worth it was the glorious train ride through the tea plantations to Nuwara Eliya. The scenery was stunning. I made friends with a local family who even offered to share their lunch with me. It was here I really started to feel the hospitality of the Sri Lankan people and also…

Pictures From Udawalawe National Park, Sri Lanka
Udawalawe National Park was amazing because of the number of elephants that I saw. I got to see many elephant families which had me totally enraptured. There were also a lot of water buffalo, crocodiles, and eagles. I liked Udawalawe National Park because it was a lot less touristy than Yala National Park. If you want to mainly see elephants, then Udawalawe is the one to visit. If it’s a larger variety of animals that you are hoping to see, then Yala National Park is the one for you. You may also like my pictures of Yala National Park!

Pictures of Yala National Park
Yala National Park was my favorite part of Sri Lanka. Getting to see leopards, elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, and peacocks all in the same day in their natural habitat was incredible. My favorite part was seeing the elephants. I could have watched them all day. It’s easy to forget what majestic beings we are sharing the earth with, and a visit here will remind you of why we need to all do our part to protect it. I feel a lot of gratitude for the chance to have seen these animals and to have had the opportunity to be so close to them. I hope these pictures of Yala Park will…
