A 33-year-old traveler from the US. I have visited 20 countries and spent a year abroad studying my M.s in Finance in New Zealand. My goal is to travel to 35 countries before the age of 35. I hope to share my experiences to inspire others to travel and take on new adventures and experiences. I usually end up dragging someone with me on my travels or going alone and meeting someone new, hence the 2 in the blog name.

Although brief, the visit was a great addition to our Irish adventure before heading back to Dublin.

On our final day of Iceland road-tripping, we explored Diamond Beach’s glistening ice chunks, took a glacier tour at Fjallsárlón, and hiked to Svartifoss and Fjaðrárgljúfur’s stunning landscapes. We capped off the trip with breathtaking views of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, where walking behind the falls offered a unique perspective.
