by Alyssa Ramos Aside from “magical”, I would describe Iceland as a “Natural Amusement Park” with endless amounts of exciting attractions and activities. From the moment I landed in Iceland, my mind was completely blown, and it still is even after leaving. The sight of snow-topped mountains made me feel giddy like a little girl, eager to go...
by Alyssa Ramos I’ve been trying to see an awesome waterfall for a few months now, and definitely got my fix yesterday in Iceland when I took a 13 hour roadtrip along the South coast of the country!

It was a nice, easy hike to get to Hermit Falls in the Santa Anita Canyon, where you can jump off cliffs into the water, and slide down the natural water slide!
