The weather is unpredictable and it can get VERY windy (70mph winds) so dress accordingly. The view from the summit is beautiful and you feel like you’re in the middle of the clouds. It is very rocky and reminds me of the landscape in Iceland (rocks with moss). You feel like you’re walking on the moon or some foreign planet.

This is a city I would love to visit every season. Easily accessible from Boston as it’s only a 4.5 hour direct flight. Everyone speaks English, socializes ‘til dawn and wears black! It is an expensive city with the tax being 24%, but it’s well worth it. Take in the panoramic view from the tower of Hallgrimskirkja and enjoy Icelandic seafood from one of the many restaurants along Tjörnin. Next time I plan on exploring the rest of this beautiful island!

You have mountains, volcanoes, ocean and nightlife all in one place! The Cascades are easily accessible for outdoor activities like hiking, skiing and mountain biking. Explore the islands off the coast like Whidbey, Vashon, Bainbridge and the San Juans. The most romantic view is from Kerry Park at the top of Queen Anne (took this pic last spring).

I traveled with 3 girl friends and we had an incredible time. We visited Rome, Florence and Venice. Next time I’d love to venture to southern Italy or perhaps explore the countryside.

The scenery is breathtaking and the people are very friendly and welcoming! The skiing during the winter months is the best I have experienced in my life!
