On Iceland’s Glorious Nothingness

The human psyche panics when forced to sit with emptiness, the solitary process of creating something from nothing.

Anda Watkins, Covid 19, Hallgrímskirkja, iceland, Isolation, Reykjavik, wanderlust journal

Walking Man

He moved swiftly, efficiently. Walking Man never said a word except “Hello” each time he passed, or each time I passed him as he sat drinking coffee at a café.

Barbara Bo Jensen, Camino de Santiago de Compostela, pilgrimage, wanderlust journal

Monoglot

Of the many things that embarrass me about being an American abroad—that we’re so loud, that we take up so much space, that we’re so high maintenance—what most embarrasses me is my functional inability to speak anything but English.

Christine Schott, iceland, language barrier, Linguistics, wanderlust journal
