In this episode, FAQ is: I'll be going to India soon. What are some ways to prepare for that trip? Today's Destination is Reykjavik, Iceland Today's Mistake- Biggest Windstorms in Iceland Travel Advice:  Save Money by grocery shopping   FAQ: I'll be going to India soon. What are some ways to prepare for that trip? Answer: To prepare for a trip to India, see if you know anyone who lives there now. It's the world's most populated country. Consider talking to them about your travel plans and what you want to do. I visited six cities, starting in Chennai and then Kerala on the opposite coast. Then, I ventured north to Hyderabad. After that, I went to Goa and then to Agra and Dehli. The cities where I had a connection or contact made me travel better. You can read the guidebooks, watch the YouTube videos, and do your homework first. Have a plan or goal for your trip; if your mission is world peace, like mine, let me know how you prepared. Even though I had planned the trip for years in my mind, there's nothing like going and preparing for the trip while on the trip, too. Listen for some future episodes on India with Dr. Travelbest.   Today's destination: Reykjavik, Iceland   Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is known for its stunning natural wonders, but it also boasts cultural gems. Stroll through the colorful streets of the Old Town, visit the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church, and explore Reykjavik's vibrant arts scene at Harpa Concert Hall. For a breathtaking exploration of Iceland's unique geological features, embark on the Golden Circle route, which includes Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall. Don't miss the opportunity to relax in the soothing waters of thermal pools, natural and manufactured.   If you plan on exploring Iceland's vast wilderness solo, consider safety. Inform someone of your plans, equip yourself with a fully charged phone, and stay updated on weather conditions. The Icelandic Touring Association provides valuable resources for ensuring a secure and enjoyable solo adventure in the country's stunning landscapes.   Despite its chilly climate, Iceland is known for its warm hospitality. Engage with locals at cozy cafes, attend cultural events, and embrace the friendly atmosphere of Reykjavik's pubs. The Icelandic people's warmth transforms solo exploration into shared experiences, fostering connections that make your journey memorable.   Take advantage of the opportunity to savor the flavors of Icelandic cuisine in Reykjavik's eclectic restaurants. Indulge in fresh seafood from the grocery store called Bonus, or sample traditional dishes like lamb soup and yogurt-like skyr (pronounced Skeer) at local eateries. Reykjavik's culinary scene is a delightful exploration of Nordic tastes, complemented by the warmth of cozy establishments.   Immerse yourself in Iceland's cultural offerings by attending local events and festivals. From music concerts to collegiate sporting events, these experiences provide perspective to your solo Nordic adventure, connecting you with the vibrant spirit of Iceland.   Take time to relax amidst Iceland's stunning landscapes. Find solace in the city's hot springs, indulge in a spa day at the Blue Lagoon or at the public pools, where the fee is only $3.00 to visit, or simply marvel at the beauty of the Northern Lights (the Aurora Borealis), during the winter months. I met someone who saw these in September.  Let the magic of Iceland's natural wonders be a backdrop for personal reflection and rejuvenation.   Reykjavik was founded in 874 by Norwegian Vikings, who discovered the area's geothermal vents and established their first homes there. The city's name, Smoky Bay, comes from the fierce weather that has caused many to perish in the storms here over centuries. Today, Reykjavik has a population of 181,000 and is a walkable city with many tourists. The city is filled with flowers in the summer, and the long summer days make for short flying times to New York, Seattle, and DC.   Reykjavik is the main city in Iceland, a must-visit for those seeking an alternative attitude, fresh produce, and innovative chefs. Other notable attractions include Hallgrimskirkja, eco-consciousness, geothermal swimming pools, and beaches, moonscapes close to town, and a monument to the Vikings on the waterfront.   Iceland's exports include fish, and the country has a parliamentary democracy and hydrogen-powered transport expertise. The energetic and uninhibited culture, a mix of Scandinavian and Celtic origins, offsets the high cost of living. The popular discussion topics are Icelandic sagas, elves, whale watching, horse riding, hiking, and hot dogs with remuladi and mayonnaise sauce.   Today's Mistake- Biggest Windstorms in Iceland   My sister and her husband went to Iceland in February 2020. They hit a big storm season and had trouble with all of the plans they had made. Be prepared for weather adjustments. I was there in August 2023, and the weather was mild. T-shirts and light sweaters were all that were needed. Today's Travel Advice-Save Money by grocery shopping   In Iceland, you can find prices exceptionally high, especially in restaurants. I could save much money if I made at least one meal daily from things I bought at the grocery store. I stocked up on chocolate for gifts for the family, too.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest   5Stepstosolotravel.com Drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Twitter Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram email: info@drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube

"The recording was one of all the sounds that make up a reverent silence. I started layering that recorded silence, placing accents, finding sounds that I liked and started building from there, responding, first with piano, then other elements, to the sounds that I heard, and built the resulting track from there." Hallgrimskirkja reimagined by de Velden.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit nach Island. Freuen Sie sich auf eine spannende Expedition in die wilde Natur dieser Insel im Nordatlantik. Wir sind am Fuß des Gletschers, der im Jahr 2010 den Flugverkehr in fast ganz Europa lahmgelegt hatte. Was der Übeltäter damals so trieb und warum die Berge hier gerne glutheiße Dinge speien, erfahren Sie bei uns. Der Ausbruch des Eyjafjallajökull hat ganze Dörfer mit Asche bedeckt und das Leben vieler Menschen verändert. Wir besuchen einen der Bauern, der besonders betroffen war. Wir laufen aber auch auf den Vulkanen, gut geschützt durch eine dicke Eisdecke und folgen dem Gletscherführer Adalstein Birgisson auf den Talgletscher Solheimajökull. Natürlich tauchen wir auch in die Blaue Lagune ein. In der isländischen Hauptstadt Reykjavík besichtigen wir den monumentalen Kirchenbau der Hallgrimskirkja und testen das Nachtleben am Hafen. Kulinarisch tischen wir das Beste auf, was Island zu bieten hat: Hummer und Lammfleisch . Der Insulaner Arthur Bollasson begleitet uns mit spannenden Geschichten von dieser Insel, zum Beispiel von Straßen, die sich hinter den Autofahrern aufrollen und gewaltigen Spalten, die sich öffnen und schließen. Der Sound Islands begleitet uns mit vertonten Liedern der Saga, Romanzen der 1940-iger Jahre und modernem Pop vom ESC bis in die 2.000. Viel Spaß in dieser Radioreise nach Island.

Because the holiday season is right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share the list of Icelandic holidays and traditions they celebrate throughout the year. Some of the traditions might sound the same or similar to some of your traditions while others might be completely new to you. Icelandic Holidays, Traditions & Celebrations 1. Fyrsti Vetradagur - First Day of Winter As I am recording this, it is October and the next holiday tradition coming up is fyrsti vetradagur, which is the first day of winter. It is the  Saturday that falls between October 21st and 27th and is according to the Old Norse calendar. If you are curious about what winter in like in Iceland, here is the link to my podcast episode “How to Survive an Icelandic Winter”. On this day, merchants on Skólavörðustígur, the street that leads to Hallgrimskirkja church, hand out free meat soup. From this day until the 21st of December, the shortest day of the year, the length of daylight decreases rapidly. 2. Jólabókaflóðið - The Christmas Book flood The beginning of November is the start of Jólabókaflóðið or the Christmas Book flood. During this time, the list of newly published books is announced in Iceland. Giving a book on Christmas eve is a longstanding tradition in Iceland that started during World War 2. Books weren’t as expensive back then, so families could offer to give them as presents. The bulk of books sales for the year happens at this time. Every person gets a book in the family to take to bed with them. I think it is lovely that after dinner and opening gifts on Christmas Eve, that Icelandic people cozy up with a book and some chocolate. After Christmas, everyone talks about the books they have read and give their opinion on it. 3. Dagur Íslenskrar Tungu - Icelandic Language Day It is celebrated on November 16th, which is the same day as the birthday of 19th-century poet Jónas Hallgrímsson. Even though not every Icelandic person celebrates this day, most, if not all, are very proud of their language. In my second podcast episode, which is a brief history of the Icelandic language, I talk about the committee that was formed to preserve the language. Dagur Íslenskrar tungu was created because Icelandic people feel it is important to protect their language. Sometimes there are gatherings to celebrate this day. 4. Icelandic Sovereignty Day December 1st is Sovereignty day, not to be confused with Icelandic Republic Day on June 17th. On this day in 1918, Iceland signed the Act of Union with Denmark, which recognized Iceland as a fully sovereign state but was still united with Denmark under a common monarch. Before Icelandic Republic day, this used to be a national holiday and people had a day off from work. While it is no longer a day that people have off, many people still fly the Icelandic flag and observe it in their own way. I’ll talk more about Icelandic Republic day later on in this podcast. 5. The 13 Icelandic Yule Lads Come to Town The Christmas holiday season is in full swing in December. People have already decorated their houses with lots of colorful lights, there are festive activities and people are extra cheery. I feel like it kicks into high gear when the 13 Yule Lads or 13 Santa Clauses start coming to down to town from the mountains. The first comes on December 12th and they arrive one by one until the last lad is in town on December 24th, which is Christmas Eve. I plan to do a podcast episode on the 13 Yule lads before Christmas this year, so keep a look out for that. For now, just know that the Santas are quite mischievous and they each have a particular thing that they do while in your house that can be considered annoying or funny, depending on who you ask. The bright side is that they bring well behaved children small gifts. 6. Þorláksmessa - St. Þórlákur's Mass If you are in Iceland on December 23rd, you might get a strong whiff of something putrid. Just know that your nose is not deceiving you because you are p...
