My parents love to travel but have not been able to travel much these days. So I asked them if they wanted to join me in Iceland for a week, and I would come from Ukraine to pick them up from the airport and take care of all the logistics. The answer? Heck yeah!
In addition to being a backpacker, this week I am also a designated driver / event organizer / official photographer / translator / technology advisor – Wearing many hats!
Dettifoss waterfall in Northeast Iceland. Due to heavy rainfall this week, 3 out of 4 roads leading to Dettifoss were closed. I was able to locate the only open road after spending hours trying to find it.

I don’t think my family would like the idea of staying in hostel like what I have been doing for the past two months in Europe, so I decided to book this lakeside cabin in South Iceland on Airbnb for a couple of days. They absolutely loved it!
