American Films and Northern Lights
Remember when you first saw a photo of some exotic location and said "I NEED to go there!"? Remember how you felt in that moment when you realized there was a big world out there that needed exploring?
I don't remember the first time I saw a photo of Iceland. I know it was of the Northern Lights on a starry night with snow covered mountains in the background. I knew I had get there but, for years, I kept putting it off. And, in that time, my expectations for Iceland became very high. The friendly locals, untouched mountains, Northern Lights, being alone with nature - I built it all up in my head.
And, now that I am here, I can safely say Iceland has exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams.
There are places you love and then there are places you carry inside forever. Places that change you. They are, in Hemingway's words,"a moveable feast". For me, Iceland is one of those places. I knew it from the first moment I got here. From the warm locals to the untouched landscape to magic of the Northern Lights, Iceland has changed me. It's made me remember the need to slow down.
Life is too short to only look at pictures. It's too short to look at someone else's journey and say "one day, I'll go there". So today's main blog post features ten new websites that will help you reach your travel goals quicker by helping you plan better and travel cheaper.
Because your travel dreams shouldn't stay dreams but should become moments you remember.

    There once was a time that I went to cabo San Lucas Mexico with my family. The reason that this trip was so special too was because I got to spend a whole week with my grandparents, aunts and uncles and most importantly my parents. When we first got we went to are rooms and put are thing down then went right down to the pool. I can still remember the way the pool look and felt because I got cut on one of the tiles in the pool. One there reasons I liked the pool so much is you could just sit there and watch the sun set. Then the next day I went fishing on the beach that was so cool casting out a fishing line and sitting there waiting with family there beaches are so beautiful and nice like the ones you see in TV commercials. I haven’t even got to the best part they have a little cruise called sunset cruise. You rode on a pirate ship and watch people fight and watch the sun go down. I was a lot like the movie call peter pan. This little cruise was so special because in a hurry and I got locked out of my room I forgot to wear shoes so I was without shoes that whole night. There is one restraints that you have to go to when you are there I mean they have unreal food. They have huge tacos filled with anything you want with beans, rice and a side salad. I can taste it now. I also remember the time I went with my grandparents to the beach after the sun went down with one of my uncles. You have experienced nothing until that happened I mean the sand nice and cold between your toes swimming in the ocean you feel so free and wild. That is why cabo San Lucas Mexico is so special to me. I have a lot of good memories there with my…

    The Northern lights, or Aurora Borealis, are one of the world's most amazing phenomenons. The lights are the result of collisions between gaseous particles in Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles from the sun. Free electrons and protons are thrown from the sun’s atmosphere by the rotation of the sun. The charged particles are are largely deflected by the earth’s magnetic field, but at the north and south poles, the magnetic field is weaker, allowing some charged particles to collide with gas particles. These collisions emit the lights that we see as the Aurora Borealis today. The most common auroral colour is a yellowish green, which is caused by molecules sixty miles above the earth. The more rare red auroral colour is produced at very…

    Traveling can be a hassle, especially if you are planning a trip for a big family, or even just for a couple’s getaway. In the United States, many people assume that planning a vacation locally is more convenient simply because they can easily get on a car and go. However, it can be as easy to get in a plane and travel to a foreign country instead of staying in the same country, and this can be even cheaper than taking a local vacation. Off course, it is true that some countries are even more expensive than the United States, but there are many countries around the world that are very cheap, and a two or three-week vacation in one of those countries, including the plane tickets, would cost less for the same amount of the time spending in almost any city in the U.S. for a vacation.…

I really loved the place and enjoyed it much as I can.…
