When you think of Italy you think of driving vespa’s along windy roads, eating the finest Italian cuisine paired with endless wine, art and romance. It’s a country on the top of almost every travelers list. Averaging over 50 million tourists a year.

So here I was asking myself that “why” question while traveling through Iceland with my friend Kelsey. We had discussed every aspect of each other’s lives, but on this day we asked each other…"why do we travel?”

Our first night we drove to Superstition Mountain and took in an amazing sunset. The key is to wait until the sun is completely gone behind the horizon and watch the rocks turn purplish/pink. Besides the 108 degree heat, I could have enjoyed that for hours!

Getting back to editing images from Ireland and falling love all over again...I have to separate the next couple days up in order to not overwhelm you with images of beautiful landscape.

We then caught the express bus from Dublin to Galway, (which is about 2.5 hrs) and were ready to get rolling around 10:30am. There are obviously pro's and con's to traveling during the off season,
