Life Unshuttered

Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons! Reason #1 = Apple orchards! What are your favorite fall things? #apples #monarch #appleorchard #pickyourown #minnesota #applejacks #Delano #fall #friends #explore #lifeunshuttered (at Apple Jacks Orchard Deleno MN) https://www.instagram.com/p/CURHeFqs960/?utm_medium=tumblr

A quick stop to check out Icelands oldest steel ship, which has been beached since 1981. #lunchbreak #roadtrip #beachedship #steelship #garður #shipwreck #sunnday #travel #iceland #westfjords #wanderlust #lifeunshuttered (at Shipwreck Garður) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPn-le_DxM1/?utm_medium=tumblr

First stop after being granted a negative COVID test from the Icelandic authorities was Glymur. Glymur is the second-highest waterfall in Iceland, with a cascade of 198 m. It was probably not the smartest idea to tackle a hike like this after not sleeping for the previous 24 hours, but the views were worth #chasingwaterfalls #glymur #waterfalls #iceland #solotravel #hike #wanderlust #travel #explore #nofilter (at Glymur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPO2T9tDiOR/?utm_medium=tumblr
