I was dreaming of going to Iceland since i was around 14 years old. My parents gave me the book „Goblins“ from Brian Froud to my birthday and i kind of got obsessed with the stories of the hidden people.

It took a few more years for me to actually really travel to Iceland. It was a bit scary because my expectations were over the moon high. I definitely wanted to see a whale and i wanted to see northern lights.

I wanted to experience this with as less other people as possible. Which really is wishfull thinking when going to Iceland. But we went in winter and so we really were alone a lot. Or at least not with the crowds.

And:

WE SAW A WHALE!!

Actually we saw a few. Actuallly i‘d say we saw many. And they are the best animals on this whole planet. Also because i am not allergic to them.

We travelled around the Island but really slowly. .It took us three weeks. Three wonderful weeks where we lived in the very best places, saw whales, northern lights. Almost no other tourists while we were in the north.
