this spring I was lucky enough to go on a study trip to iceland. bleak, beautiful and otherworldly – i fell head over heels for its black sands, rainbow falls and gigantic smoking mountains.
I bathed in the waters of gulfoss, climbed a steep, treacherous glacier and chased porpoise against a freezing wind. Iceland may as well be the moon and I can’t wait to return to its black shores. I’ll be making a book detailed blog post about it in the coming months.
