Cafés of Reykjavik
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Iceland on an EF Ultimate Break tour. I chose this tour company because I like the fact that it's exclusive to people in my age group (young adults). Iceland, the land of ice and fire, is a beautiful country inhabited by friendly and caring people. I can't wait to go back one day! In this article, I talk about some of my favorite cafés in Reykjavik!

Getting Lit in an Argentinian Prison
By the time I turned fifty, I had only ever been drunk once, and this honour I bestowed upon myself on my eighteenth birthday. In true teenage fashion, I drank too much champagne chased by a few hefty glasses of punch before dancing on the tables we had set up in our family room for the occasion.

So, it was time to get some rudimentary kitchenware and food to provide us with lunches on our day trips.
