Reykjavik is truly a melting pot, mainly due to increased tourism over the years!  Even though the city had more authenticity when I first visited in 2014, this May was the first time I truly experienced all Reykjavik had to offer…

The “pops of color” and street art took over its downtown area, which is something I always feel the need to photograph!

Reykjavik is unique in many ways, one being that you feel like you’re in Norway, Ireland, and the early 2000s (at times) all in one!

Oh, and the gluten-free dessert AND savory crepes were beyond amazing!!!

No matter where you turned, you saw something special; you definitely weren’t in the States anymore!

My message to you: always go off the beaten path!
