😍On my birthday, I made a bold decision - to chase the Northern Lights in Iceland! It was the most thrilling adventure and the most romantic experience of my life!
Just imagine, on the vast ice fields, the aurora unfolded like a dreamy curtain, and in that moment, all worries disappeared, leaving only the miracle before my eyes. Such an experience must be shared with everyone!
🔥The beauty of Iceland is not just the Northern Lights, but also the heart-pounding glaciers, enchanting moss-covered landscapes, and the occasional appearance of whales leaping out of the water. Every moment is an eternal scenery in my heart.
Twenty days before departure, I prepared like I was injected with chicken blood, applying for a visa, booking flights, and planning the trip all at once. Now, I want to tell you how to make this crazy dream come true!
