An Icelandic Volcano Adventure: Witnessing Nature's Raw Power

Hey, fellow travelers and adventure seekers! Today, I'm here to share an exhilarating tale of my recent escapade to the land of fire and ice – Iceland! Brace yourselves for a thrilling journey into the heart of one of nature's most awe-inspiring phenomena: volcanoes. Join me as I recount my extraordinary experience witnessing the raw power of Iceland's majestic volcanoes, particularly the mesmerizing Litli-Hrútur eruption.

Exploring the Land of Fire and Ice: A Family Adventure

In early June this year, my family and I embarked on a journey to Iceland, a country renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, including glaciers, geothermal hot springs, and of course, volcanoes. Our adventure was a perfect blend of icy escapades and fiery encounters.

Embracing the Ice: Glacial Hikes and Underwater Marvels

Our icy adventures took us atop magnificent glaciers, deep into mesmerizing ice caves, and even snorkeling in glacier-fed waters sandwiched between tectonic plates. Picture this: swimming in crystal-clear waters at a bone-chilling 32 degrees, surrounded by the sublime beauty of Iceland's glaciers. And let's not forget the surreal experience of listening to a glacier calve while strolling through the glacial mountain valley. The sheer majesty of these frozen giants left us in awe.

Encountering Fire: Geysers, Lava Fields, and Dormant Volcanoes

On the flip side, our fiery encounters were just as captivating. We immersed ourselves in geothermal hot springs, marveled at the unpredictable dance of active geysers, and explored moss-covered lava fields, a testament to Iceland's volcanic history. One highlight was our hike to the dormant volcanic sites, where recent eruptions had reshaped the landscape. The sight of smoking lava fields, remnants of recent eruptions, was both thrilling and humbling.

The Call of Litli-Hrútur: A Spontaneous Volcanic Adventure

Fast forward seven weeks after our initial trip, news of increased earthquake activity near the Fagradalsfjall eruption sites piqued my interest. On July 10th and 18th, Litli-Hrútur, one of Iceland's volcanoes, roared to life, offering a rare opportunity for spectators to witness its fiery heartbeat.

Without a moment's hesitation, I seized the chance for a spontaneous adventure. Booking last-minute flights, I found myself back in Iceland, driving towards the erupting Litli-Hrútur. A six-mile hike later, I stood before the majestic volcano, witnessing lava bubbling and dancing in its crater. The moment was surreal, made even more unforgettable when a section of the crater collapsed, setting the moss-covered lava ablaze. Nature's raw power was on full display, and I was there to witness it.

A Helicopter Soar and Thermal Serenity: A Perfect Ending

To make the most of my brief Icelandic Volcano Adventure, I took to the skies in a helicopter the next day. Hovering above the crater, I felt the heat and smelled the earthy aroma of the erupting volcano. It was an experience that will forever be etched in my memory.

Finally, I indulged in the therapeutic embrace of the thermal spa waters at Sky Lagoon in Reykjavík. As I relaxed amidst the geothermal bliss, I reflected on the sheer magnificence of nature and the incredible experiences Iceland had offered me.

Girl's Trip to New Orleans for Essence Fest

Johnnie Herring helped our girl group tremendously. She effortlessly created a bespoke experience for our group in New Orleans, LA. Our intentions were to eat & experience Essence Fest. With Johnnie's expertise, not only did we accomplish our goals, we also toured the city, transportation was taken care of, and our accommodations were right on Canal Street! We were in walking distance to everything Canal, Bourbon, Royal & Magazine Street had to offer. The trolley station was literally across the street from our week's residence. We walked to and enjoyed the French Market and outlet mall also. Thank YOU, Johnnie! We had an amazing time in NOLA, and an amazing experience planning with you. It was effortless and exciting. We're definitely coming back to you. You should check her out too! Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself!

UK and Ireland Birthday Adventure

Johnnie was AMAZING. She helped me plan a 3 week trip of a lifetime to 8 different cities across England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland for my 30th birthday. She worked with my budget and booked all of the hotels, flights, and transportation. Even though she was on her own vacation out of the country during part of my trip, she was still always available if I had questions or concerns while I was there. Which was really helpful considering I was traveling solo. Johnnie is super knowledgeable about all things UK/Ireland and knows the best ways to get from one place to another. I will most CERTAINLY be using Johnnie next time I need to plan a big trip. I could not have done it without her and I had the most life changing time!!
