  Iceland
  

  

  I'm a bit of a world traveler. I've been all over Europe, several countries in Asia, but the one place that intrigues me the most is Iceland. I love the viking heritage, and am beyond fascinated with Icelandic mythology. For example, in Icelandic folklore the volcano the recently blew its top is also Hell on Earth. I just love to learn, and I have a background in Nordic/German languages. Most people don't know this, but on my father's side (the side I'm closest to); we are the only ones in the U.S.. That's right. Dad's family started in Finland (hence the many toeheads), then somehow a few of us come out with ginger.
  

  I've got family in Finland of course, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and The Czech Republic. Another thing most people don't know about me (because it's a little strange and off-setting) is that I'm 100% fluent in Finish, Spanish (so easy), German, Russian and French. Danish, Swedish, Czech, just never clicked, and given my Nordic/German/Romantic(Spanish) backgrounds; I've never really tried to learn Mandarin or Japanese.

  Traveling to Iceland would immerse me in an unfamiliar (but awesome) culture, language, and history. Iceland would 'broaden my horizon' so to speak. I'd love it there. I've made plans to travel abroad in Ireland to study 20th century literature, but after some research on Iceland, I may have changed my mind.
