Just a girl with big dreams
I have always wanted to go to Iceland for the welcoming people, the unique culture, and the breathtaking nature. However, my trip always seemed like a far off daydream...until now :) This summer, I finally have the opportunity to visit and I am beyond excited!
Iceland comes Akron, Ohio
Last Wednesday, Kaleo, a cool breakout band from Iceland, performed at Musica in my hometown Akron. As they played their set of acoustic, bluesy, and classic rock tunes, I got more and more excited at the prospect of going to Iceland this summer. After they played, I was lucky enough to talk to three members of the band, JJ, Danny, and David who were all very nice.
When I told them about my upcoming trip and asked for any recommendations, they said to go to the Westman Islands Festival as it would be happening while I was there. From what I've been able to find out about it on the internet, it looks awesome! Þjóðhátíð here I come!
If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, please message me. I would like to know more about logistics like what to bring, how to get there, how cold it will be, etc. If you've ever been to the festival, I would love to hear about your experience! Thanks, I really appreciate it!
I am a student at Northeast Ohio Medical University. When I'm not studying in the hidden corners of the library, I like to go out and listen to bands with friends (mostly folk, blues, and rock), bike, hike, and try weird food. I'm excited to taste the unusual dishes of Iceland, but I'm not sure if I can eat puffin because they look so cute!
