Besalú, Rupit and Tavertet, Spain June 202125 photos
Travel in the twilight period as (hopefully!) the world begins to turn the corner from the Covid-19 pandemic has been an interesting experience, one I would describe as one with far more benefits than drawbacks. My three weeks in Iceland and Spain have seen much smaller crowds, an almost total absence of massive tour buses, and a blessed shortage of cruise ships...
Another in a set of photos I assumed I had uploaded but seem not to have remembered. My dominant memories of Zagreb are definitely the experience of watching the Croatian team defeat Russia with a few thousand new friends in a city square and this idyllic park festival going on while I visited. Zagreb was, in many ways, a hidden gem at the end of my trip through...
London was a very late addition to my travel plans after my job in Istanbul fell through, so the plans weren’t as developed as I would have liked, but the experience was excellent. After the solitude of Iceland, the crowds were a change of pace, but five shows in five nights, incredible museums, and food from all over the world made for an excellent first visit...
I decided to skip some of the big attractions on the South Coast this time, as the weather was pretty dreary and the crowds were large, but I’ll always enjoy the most-traveled part of Iceland and finally had a decent puffin sighting or two this time.
While the north of Iceland was a bit forbidding when I visited it in March a few years ago, it was absolutely lovely in June this past summer. Featuring Iceland’s second city, Akureyri, Martian landscapes, and two of the best waterfalls you’ll ever see, it’s certainly a place you’ll want to spend time exploring.
