Staying In: Kamandalu Hotel Review

⁣I've decided I'm in love with the mountains. Give me a beautiful view of nature and I'll be content. This world is beautiful and I'm addicted to seeing as much of it as I can.⠀
⠀
On the blog I have a review of my stay at @panoramaglasslodge. A full photo tour of the space, tips for booking, and things I wish I had known before my stay. Link to my website is in my bio. ⠀
⠀
Have you added Panorama Glass Lodge to your travel bucket list?⠀

⁣I'm in shock. I truly am! Both 2022 group trips

⁣I'm in shock. I truly am! Both 2022 group trips are now SOLD OUT.⠀
⠀
I'll admit, when @trovatrip first emailed me, it took me a long time to commit to hosting a trip. For over a month I went back and forth about if this was even something people would be interested in doing with me.⠀
⠀
I'm so happy that I took this leap and ecstatic to travel with 35 people from this community in 2022. The diversity of both groups is what excites me the most. We are going to not only be making incredible memories but also learning so much from each other. I'm literally in tears writing this because I already know the incredible experience we are going to have together.⠀
⠀
There are waitlists for both trips. I understand that these trips are months away and plans can change. If a spot opens up on either of these trips, the waitlist will have first dibs. ⠀
⠀
I can't wait to travel with you in 2022!⠀

⁣I solo tripped on a group trip! Yup, you read that right. ⠀
⠀
I arrived in Palm Springs, CA a day before the start of a girls trip with some of my good friends from high school and I checked into the @bestwestern Plus Las Brisas Hotel (hosted). This pool was the perfect place to unwind and relax!⠀
⠀
I often give tips about how you can try solo travel for yourself and adding on a day (or more!) to a group trip is a fantastic way to try out solo travel! Or even just finding some down time in the schedule to do something on your own. I still love this tip even as a seasoned solo traveler.⠀
⠀
And this tip works with organized group travel too, not just when you are meeting up with friends. It's totally something that I'm encouraging on the group trips I'm hosting next year.⠀
⠀
Would you ever try this?⠀

⁣Did you know that Iceland has a tourist pledge?

⁣Did you know that Iceland has a tourist pledge? And honestly, I think this is a fantastic idea.⠀
⠀
In 2018 there were over 2.2 million tourists in Iceland, compared to the some 360k that call the island home. ⠀
⠀
My number one rule when traveling? Don't be an jerk. I recognize that I am a guest in a different place and I act accordingly, here are some examples:⠀
⠀
😀I research local customs - From hand gestures to avoid to whether tipping is frowned upon to which side of the sidewalk to walk on.⠀
😀I follow the rules - I'll cover up when visiting religious sites and I'm not trespassing or doing something that could injure myself or others to get photos.⠀
😀I learn some of the language - Key phrases and greetings go a long way to showing respect.⠀
😀I learn from others - If someone corrects my behavior instead of getting mad or upset I appreciate that they took the time to educate me.⠀
😀I eat the local cuisine - I don't criticize food that is unfamiliar to me and if it's not something I want to try, I politely decline without a rude comment.⠀
⠀
What are steps you take to be a responsible traveler?⠀

⁣Hands down the most incredible hike!⠀
⠀
Here are the details:⠀
Hangandifoss Waterfall - Múlagljúfur Canyon ⠀
3.6 miles out and back with a 1.2k elevation gain⠀
Trail is poorly marked in a few places, but it's a bit hard to wander too far off.⠀
⠀
Things to know:⠀
The trail is considered moderate by @alltrails, I'd totally agree with this as the trail was slippery, narrow, and crossed a creek. There is no sign for the trailhead off the main road. ⠀
⠀
Check out my highlight "Iceland 2" for a map as well as video of the road leading to the trailhead.⠀
⠀
Remember to be cautious when you are one the edge of the canyon. It's windy and a long way down. I've seen some photos on IG of people being super reckless on this hike and after seeing the canyon first hand, I can't believe that they would take a risk like that.⠀
⠀
Be careful of the moss, it is easily damaged and can take years to heal.⠀
⠀
Did you know you can rent a Personal Location Beacon (PLB)? It's less than $10 and could save your life in an emergency. I didn't know about these until after my trip, but this would have been worth the investment for safety and peace of mind.⠀
⠀
🤓I have so much more to say about this hike but I've run out of room! Let me know if you would like a blog post with all the details.⠀

⁣One of the things that surprised me about the Golden Circle is how accessible everything was. ⠀
⠀
Most of the attractions were right off the road, had parking, and were only a quick walk away from the car. Some of the really popular spots even had cafes and gift shops. ⠀
⠀
On one hand, this wasn't the Iceland experience that I was expecting but I ended up really liking it for a couple of reasons. ⠀
⠀
I got to see a lot easily.⠀
I appreciated that people who aren't super mobile could also enjoy the beauty of Iceland.⠀
⠀
Was it a weird juxtaposition to see a huge waterfall and turn around to see a huge souvenir shop? Absolutely. It was not expected because of course, IG doesn't show the gift shops. But I applaud Iceland for trying to make it easy and safe for visitors to enjoy these sites, protecting not just the tourists but also the fragile landscape.⠀
⠀
Did you notice this when you went to Iceland? What are your thoughts?⠀

⁣5 things I'm happy I packed for Iceland... and

⁣5 things I'm happy I packed for Iceland... and one thing I forgot 🤦🏼‍♀️⠀
⠀
🇮🇸Waterproof everything! Jacket, hiking boots, but especially my pants. I brought the @columbia1938 storm surge pants and they perfectly slid over my leggings and jeans!⠀
🇮🇸Hot hands! These little air activated packets of warmth helped keep me going even on the chilliest hikes. They also have toe warmers.⠀
🇮🇸Eye mask! Helped me sleep in at the glass lodge. These are a must for summer when there is the midnight sun.⠀
🇮🇸My drone! Iceland is pretty drone friendly and it was such an epic place to fly.⠀
🇮🇸Tissues! There were a few remote bathrooms/porta-potties that were poorly stocked and this got me through.⠀
⠀
🤦🏼‍♀️ And what I forgot - a bathing suit!! Ugh! There are so many hot springs and pools and I unfortunately forgot this key item when I was packing. I ending up buying one when I was there and it was not cheap.⠀
⠀
Have you been to Iceland? What are you glad you packed?⠀
