Blue Lagoon – Visiting the Enchanted Iceland

The Blue Lagoon may just be the biggest tourist attraction in Iceland – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth your time. With a little proper planning, you can beat the crowds and experience the blue lagoon the way it was meant to be experienced. In total relaxation. We were in bliss during our time at the blue lagoon, and it’s because we weren’t there on a Saturday at 10:30 am. It’s because we did some research, planned ahead, and got the most out of our time there. To help you out on your research, I’m going to compile everything I learned about the blue lagoon here in this article. …

Glacier Hike with Icelandic Mountain Guides

Glaciers in Iceland If you're going to Iceland, chances are you are planning on making a visit to one of the many glaciers the country has to offer. A glacier hike is among one of the best ways to see this amazing world phenomenon. Iceland's close proximity to the arctic circle and it's mountainous inner highlands makes Iceland one of the best places in the world to see glaciers. Along the drive of the south coast, as you head west, you will see glaciers peeping out to your left, bright blues breaking through the white snow. I was overwhelmed by the formation of them, literally hundreds of feet from the…

Travel Advice: Crucial Phrases to Know in Italian
September 8, 2016

Hi there, I'm Sydney, the gal behind The Boho Traveller.

I am a sailor, traveller, a friend, and a lover of all things blue. I don't eat red meat, but I do LOVE carbs. I think talking to the locals is the most important part of travel. As well as getting a good hike in.

As you can see, I have done a lot of travelling all over the world! I am a Florida-based nomad, born on the ocean in Key West, Florida (literally on a boat) and am excited to share my stories and advice with you.

I lived in Italy for a year, which is why there is so much information on that country, and then I am also a sailor, and you will find tidbits of sailing info in my "Bilge" section. I am a firm believer in being a free spirit, and gypsy soul...so catch me if you can!
