Travel . vejleI’ve had an incomplete post sitting in my drafts for a couple months now, one that I just ctrl+A and deleted.

Reykjavik Diary: Notes on Icelandic Design
architecture . design . graphic . graphic design . Iceland . ReykjavikHello! The very first thing I noticed about the Icelandic design was how contemporary it was.

Reykjavik Observations Day 2
Iceland . Reykjavik . Thoughts . TravelOh, look, yet another post where I attempt to describe my surroundings and observations in vague, yet informative ways without photos. Hmmm, where to start.

Reykjavik: An Overall Observation Day 1
Iceland . Reykjavik . Thoughts . TravelIt’s difficult to write a blog post about your travels when you’re presently lacking a way to include photos, so I’ll just do my general thought on the Reykjavik area until I can write up a proper picture-loaded entry.
