Recapping Iceland & Oktoberfest Adventures 🧊🍺
|
Happy Thursday! I'm back from my trip to Iceland and Germany and it was SO MUCH FUN! Two very different places but I love them both. First up was Iceland - the land of fire and ice. Iceland looks amazing in pictures, but they don't do it justice to just how beautiful the country is. Every day had something new, and I'm so glad I did the Ring Road instead of staying near Reykjavik the whole time. If you want to see what I got up to every day, check out all my Iceland YouTube videos. I also have my full Iceland trip review up on my blog. After Iceland, I headed to Munich, Germany, for the famous Oktoberfest. I knew it would be a lot of fun, but I didn't know just how fun. From the liters of beer to singing Sweet Caroline at the top of my lungs with thousands of strangers to the incredible food, it was everything I could've wanted and more. If you are thinking about heading to Oktoberfest, DO IT! I cannot recommend it enough - 2026 is your year! My two videos all about Oktoberfest will be up at at the end of the month right after Iceland. You won't want to miss them, so make sure you subscribe to my channel!

Happy Thursday! Hello from Malaysia! I'm here doing some solo travel before a group trip in Thailand... two of my favorite countries in Southeast Asia :) This is my longest solo trip in a while, and it got me thinking about safety when you travel. I feel fully safe traveling on my own, but a lot of that is because I know how to prepare, what to look out for, and I always trust my gut.

Happy Thursday! I just wrapped up an amazing trip to Munich for Oktoberfest, and it was such an incredible experience. From the traditional music to the food, and of course the beer tents, it was such a dream and I'm so glad I got to experience this part of Germany's culture. It made me think about how festivals are one of the best ways to experience a destination—you get to see traditions, food, music, and community all come together. Here are some of the biggest festivals around the world...
