In between employment, I decided to take an impromptu trip to another country, which is something I’ve never really done before. I’ve taken on-the-whim day trips to places, sure, but never a week-long international journey. I always wanted to go to Iceland, and after my brother went a couple of times, one for a medical school rotation, I saw his pictures and was in love. Iceland is incredibly accessible to people in the United States, especially with the addition of WOW Air, which serves a handful of cities in the U.S. with insanely cheap flights. I flew out of Newark Liberty International (which I do not recommend… I hate that airport with a passion). Getting to Iceland is easy. Getting around Iceland can be tricky. And paying for everything in Iceland is going to cost you. We’ll dive into all that later, but until then, here are a few pictures I snapped in and around Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital city. The pictures include Hallgrimskirkja, the Lutheran church. Some of the other pictures are from the central part of town, including the colorful rainbow building, which is Kiki’s Queer Bar, the country’s only gay bar. Iceland is extremely welcoming to people of all backgrounds, and they are one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world. While there’s only one gay bar, you can go to any bar and feel comfortable. -- source link
