Just returned from Iceland 🇮🇸, where we're planning an experiment this summer. What impressed me most was not the natural beauty, severe weather, or Icelandic horses.

The most impressive thing about Iceland was how helpful and accommodating everyone was. It's like nowhere else.

A big ass waterfall in Iceland.
