Eco-Friendly Family Life
Packing for a destination, with only a carry on bag, in the dead of winter may seem a bit overwhelming to some.
But I’m here to tell you it’s an easy feat.
You see, I headed to Iceland at the beginning of February for a six day adventure, and only took one small bag with me.
So how did I do it?
Let me show you what I packed:

With Iceland being a relatively small country in size (40,000 square miles, in fact), many people who visit tend to stay in Reykjavik for the entirety of their stay, only venturing out of the city to visit the Golden Circle.
But if you explore just a little further afield, you’ll find some exceptionally beautiful sights that will take your breath away.
Now, I’m not saying you need to do a month-long intensive roadtrip around the island nation (although that sounds like an incredible time to me!), but I would implore you, even if you stay in accommodation in Reykjavik for your entire travels (as we did, for this trip), take more than just the one day trip outside of Reykjavik for the usual sights of the Blue Lagoon, Gulfoss, Pingvellir, Kerid and Geysir.
We chose to do a day trip to the southern coast to see the stunning waterfalls that can be found there, as well as the popular Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach.

A museum dedicated to penis’ – known more scientifically as phallus’: A Phallological Museum.
Yes, this place exists, and it lives in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Being in that same city, and with my boyfriend and I’s combined maturity age probably not even reaching my physical age of 26, we of course had to visit.
Iceland has been one of those countries Dan and I have been wanting to travel to for a long time.
When we realised we both wanted to visit this Scandinavian bucket-list item, it quickly became our next adventure to plan.
We fell into a burrow of internet searches, guidebooks and travel blogs, finding out all the information we could to plan the trip of our dreams (Well, one of them, at least).
My first Christmas in the UK was exactly how I imagined it to be:
Filled with love, lots of smiles with my family in law, and, of course, more layers of clothing than needed in Australia.
I’ve been dreaming of a winter Christmas for a long time.
Even before I was in a long distance relationship with Dan, I’d always imagined spending at least one Christmas in the northern hemisphere, just to experience a cold (or, if I was lucky, a White) Christmas.
