My first flight to Colombia is complete. I am now waiting for my friend to get to the food court in the Atlanta Georgia international airport. I honestly don't know how I feel about the airport because it is so big but the good news is that we don't have to go far to get to our next flight. I just hope things go smoothly and we land there in one piece. This flight to get to Atlanta was a little rough at the end and I got a little motion sick from the turbulence. It was definitely up there in the "Not fun flights". There was a small moment where I was unsure if we would crash or just land but I can say that when we did land in one piece I was praising whatever higher power is up there. 

Once I landed and got off the plane I took a look around and even though I shouldn't be surprised I was a tiny bit thrown off by all the masks that people were wearing. Im used to seeing a few people wear them but there was an alarming amount. I know that we have the coronavirus craziness happening right now and that can be scary depending on your health but at the same time, no little mask is gonna stop you from making a single mistake. If it's your time, its your time to take on the challenge and hopefully survive. 

That may sound harsh or old fashioned but, it is the truth. Now I am surrounded by food and I am going to go grab a bite before I get on this long flight to a country I have never been to before. I'm nervous, I'm excited, sleep deprived, and hungry. Stay tuned for more updates as we make our way to Colombia and for our journey through this country.

So may wonderful things to come.

Tomorrow morning I fly out to Colombia. So that means I have only a few things left to do before I go. Today I will be recording the final two episodes of my Iceland podcast and I must say that it is so nice to get all the information out so you guys can use it for when you decide you want to travel to Iceland. Of course, everyone's experience is different so im not sure how helpful the information will be but, I rather give you access to it then not. 

When I get back from Colombia I will have plenty of information to give you all and I will resume my podcast/YouTube but it will be all the things I learned while I was in Colombia. I hope you guys will follow along on my journey. 

For now here is the video about Hiking in Iceland! Give it a watch, like and subscribe. 

All the support you guys give helps me out and I would appreciate all the love I can get from you guys.

This is part three of my Iceland series. If you haven't watched the other videos in this series I encourage you to please go back and give them a watch. This way you can get the whole rundown of my experience over there. I am giving you all the information I have gathered so that it might help you guys when you decide to go visit that beautiful country. Iceland gave me many ups and downs and I learned a lot when I was over there. I just thought I should share what I learned so that you guys can learn from my mistakes and also make your visit over there easier. 

If you do have any questions or if you are curious about anything in particular please feel free to shoot me a message and I will answer back to you directly. For now enjoy the next part of the series which covers Hiking in Iceland. For those of you that love the outdoors, love challenging trails, and seeing amazing views this is the episode for you.

If you didn't know my recent video is up! Now I got some feedback that the audio is a little low so when you go to watch is making sure to turn up your volume on Youtube/computer so you can hear me clearly. I apologize for the inconvenience of this, It sounded fine when I was editing the video itself but I guess its different when it goes to a big platform like YouTube. I will try my best to make adjustments for the next video so its not as much of a hassle to hear me. 

I'm really excited to get all of these videos out for you guys. I am leaving in four days for Colombia and I am so nervous. Everything is so close together and everything is just crazy right now. I can't wait to bring you all the videos and information when I get back from this amazing trip to South America. It will be quite a culture shock but I am sure that it will be worth it. If you guys could see my face right now it would be with a huge smile. Things are coming together and it feels good to be accomplishing so much.

Yesterday was the last New Year in Destin for me so of course we went out. It started in the early afternoon and by four my father adn I were sitting in Mcguires having some espresso Martinis. By five I was back with some girlfriends and we were drinking while getting ready for the rest of the night. There were shots braids and of course gossip. For a little over an hour we got pretty trashed and once they finished braiding my hair and convincing me to have two more shots before I let I knew that the rest of the night was gonna be a little messy. I just hoped that I would be able to remember it at the end. 

After leaving my girlfriends I went back to my bf's place to drop off my bag and from there we went across the street to our friends place. That is were the pre game was. Of course I was already three pre games in and I knew that I should slow down while I was ahead so I pulled back, had some snack and socialized with everyone around. Most of the people who were there were people that we all knew from the gym. They all were there to get trashed and celebrate together and we did just that. We took pictures, had food, and drank all different kinds of alcohol . Really the party was pumpin and we were all in for quite the time. 

Once everyone was good and buzzed we went to the harbor walk and once we got there things got crazy. We started jumping from place to place, running around the bars, loosing people and then finding them later on, it literally was a crazy game of cat and mouse and luckily it was cold out so nobody got to hot when chasing one another.

Right at Midnight we had our good friend (Who I will call Rat as it is a nickname we use for him at work) give a speech and a toast. "Some ships are made of steel, some are made of wood, but the best ships are friendships" and we all screamed and toasted to the beginning of the new year. We even took a picture together and even though we lost a lot of people along this crazy ride we still managed to get most of them in the photo. In the end we made our way to the dance floor and rocked out till we were too tired to keep going. 

It really was a fun night and even though I was against doing all of this in the beginning im glad that I changed my mind and went anyway. It truly was a wonderful way to start a new chapter.
