First Entry

Alright, so this will be my lovely travel blog, as I am quite terrible at talking to EVERYONE all of the time. Aka, if you are interested in my travels, this will be the place to look.
I don't know how often I will update this or anything like this, but it's worth a shot.

Tomorrow morning I leave for Iceland! I will be gone for juuust over a month, so, a good chunk of time, but not too long. To kick off the trip we (we being myself and my friend Beth) will be volenteering for two weeks. The project is called "gardening and forestry activities" and I am pretty excited about actually learning something about gardening.

Mmk. Some "fun facts" about Iceland (that I haven't experienced or proven... but have read aha)
- The literacy rate of Iceland is 99.9%.
- Strippers are illegal in Iceland
- Most Icelanders do not have a family name so children have a given name and then father’s-name-son or father’s-name-daughter.
- Because they don’t have surnames, Icelanders are listed in the telephone directory alphabetically by first name.
- Iceland has no army, navy, or air force. It does have a Coast Guard.


Ok. So I promise I will have better/more interesting posts once I actually go there.
For now, farewell!
