Budget Breakdown for 9 days in Iceland

Sooo, we didn’t really have a budget going into this 9-day adventure in Iceland. The only thing I knew was that the country of fire and ice was an expensive place to travel. I volunteered to plan the entire trip which meant that and I had to keep track of the budget as well and […]

You’re probably thinking that I complain a lot about work. I would agree. I wasn’t always like this. I don’t know when the negativity switch turned on, but it did. I don’t like feeling this way either and I’m sure you’re sick of reading about it. Too bad. Here I go again. Today I woke […]
