A photo of a black sand beach with a white frothy long exposure wave coming in. On the sand sits an iceberg which looks like a hand-carved sculpture, perhaps of a kneeling woman. Or an animal. Or something.

Another oldie from my Feb 2018 trip to #Iceland. Sometimes the little bergy bits that wash up on the Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón make the most stunning sculptures, which within minutes/hours will be gone.

We watched the aurora from Reykjavik. It was hard to believe. Always magical.

Iceland is one of those places that pulls you back, full of mystery and ancient stories. Have you visited Iceland? Are you planning to? #travel #iceland #aurora

Slightly differing views on an elf rock on Google Maps. I guess it depends how seriously you take Icelandic myths of the Hidden People. #Iceland #travel #myths

It’s on my list of places to visit. Several of my friends went for holidays when I lived in Paris. Easier access from there. ✈️

I’m thinking of taking the family to celebrate #LunarNewYear somewhere with a community! I’ve done a bit of research and #London does a big one in Europe, as does #Manchester in the UK. #Paris and #Madrid are supposed to be family-friendly and spectacular in Europe. Any other ideas?

I didn’t expect to fall in love with Iceland’s folklore, but once I started reading, I couldn’t stop.

Interactions are usually friendly or politely curious. Being respectful of local culture goes a long way. From a day-to-day safety perspective, there’s no reason to postpone travel to Europe. Curious to hear others’ travel experiences.

I’ve seen a recurring question in family travel groups about whether Americans might face hostility when travelling in Europe. As a European living in the UK, I can reassure people that in everyday situations, most Europeans don’t attach individual travellers to their country’s politics. (cont.)

If you ever come to Barcelona as a tourist or to live, you should take a ride on the Torre de Sant Sebastia. es.advisor.travel/poi/Torre-Sa... #barcelona #photography #tourism

Poland is beautiful! I've been to Krakow many years ago and have lovely memories. I'm planning to research more Polish cities and add them to our list of cities to visit. 🫶

My thoughts on Budapest's Ottoman links. Paprika is one of them. Have a look if you plan to visit this exciting and very family-friendly city.

Cycling through Tokyo with kids felt very different to what I expected.
It was calm, comfortable, and changed how we experienced the city.
