Iceland, the land of ice and fire, is a huge deal lately. This island nation was “off the radar” for a while, but has recently seen explosive growth. Here is my 10 days Iceland itinerary (for 10-14 day road trip ideas!). I traveled to Iceland for a road trip with my husband in August.

I’ve been to many places around the world, and in all sincerity, Cuzco is one of my favorites. It combines the ancient with new in a way you don't see elsewhere. The indigenous cultures blend together in the city’s art and history, dotted with evidence of the Spanish conquest. The native art, food, and traditions combine with European architecture to create a truly matchless place. After a visit here during my month long backpacking trip,…
