Let's talk about Volcanoes

It is really nice, and I'm fortunate to have had parents that both had jobs that took them across the world (I'm a Navy brat), and a military job that had me moving constantly across the United States (and a few overseas postings) which were how I was able to visit volcanoes in Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, and Italy. Plus, I have a lot of family and a few close friends in the western United States who I visit frequently (mostly so that I'm in range of being able to visit all of these areas.) They also instilled in me the virtues of travel and living with a reasonable amount of simplicity. I don't get fettered down with constructs such as property or real estate or even luxurious stuff. Nor do I waste time and money on relationships that might drain my bank account. There's a trade-off to being able to travel so much, but I'm the perfect person for it. 

And thank you! I hope you too are able to make it to Iceland! I've never been, but from what I've seen and heard, it's probably going to be one of my favorite places.

Volcanoes and places with wild geology/geography and raw nature just draw me more than places of cultural significance. The places that are wild and untamed and presenting of physical challenge and reward.

Volcanoes? Love 'em
