Dear readers,

In today's post, I'm sharing some photos of the tiny Icelandic village where I spent the majority of my time. The little cabin is where I wrote my first novel, and the lake is where I went walking every day. Laugarvatn is such a special place, and I love sharing it with the world. I hope you enjoy!

Very cool @tamarajoy! My wife and I have wanted to get to Iceland dearly!

Thanks so much for giving us a peak at a place we soon hope to visit. Keep up the great work!!

That's such a cold but lovely place. I love your photo of the sunset reflecting on the water. That is mesmerizing.

Beautiful place down in winter wonderland looks like it comes straight out of a fairytale
Thanks for sharing

It truly feels like another world. So incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for commenting!

o dear !!! ... sigh ive been drooling over iceland since before it was a tourist attraction but its sooooooooooooo expensive to get there, and its not really a place to like do a weekend-trip either /doublefacepalm ... im sure i'll get there sooner or later, i just hope the tourist craze won't have turned it into a volcanic themepark by then , sponsored by ray-ban or something lol
i'm jealous now , duh

Thank you so much for commenting! Yes, it's a very expensive destination; I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to go. I wish you all the best, and I'm sure you can get there eventually!

Norway is definitely on my go-to list as well--not sure about the ice bear village though, haha. Thank you so much for sharing. This world is so fascinating.

if you're a travelgeek then that site atlasobscura is sure to give you inspiration for the next destination. Please keep us all posted :)

In the third picture, is that a hot spring? It looks like steam.

Yes, that's a hot spring! It heats the local pool as well. Thanks for commenting.

Beautiful photos. I was curious about the novel you mentioned so I checked out your website.

The intro for Juice of Half a Lemon is really funny ... or maybe bizarre is the word I want. Either way I'm already thinking about all the ways that could go.

Thank you so much, and thanks for checking out my website! I'm so happy to hear that "Juice of Half a Lemon" intrigued you!
