I am scribbling furiously away on my manuscript about my travels in Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. Okay, maybe “scribbling” is old-school, circa junior high when I still wrote my short stories and never-finished novels in spiral notebooks.
I am typing furiously away….
Better?
In all this feverish writing, as the landscapes and people, tastes and smells, sensations and feelings rush back into my cozy home office, I am inspired to tackle a side project. Namely, adding one of my favorite corners of the world to my country guides. In the coming months, I plan to add my own travel guides to all the places I traversed, including some tips for others like me living and traveling with fibromyalgia or another chronic medical condition.
To kick off this mad writing rush, I present my Country Guide to Iceland. City and region guides for Iceland will be added little by little as I write them.
On a side note, today I walked to and from my doctor appointment, a total round trip of 2 hours through melting snow and ice. I am determined to continue walking – the single most important therapy for my fibromyalgia – throughout the winter months.
We’re having a bizarre winter. Mild until this month, my birthday arrived with instant winter and sub-zero temperatures. Until yesterday, when my walk to work presented a crazy mix of 4 seasons in the space of 45 minutes – rain, sleet, hail, and snow. Today, as if I wasn’t dizzy enough, the weather wizard tossed out a pleasant March day of dirty melting snow and warm sunshine.
What will tomorrow’s walk bring? In Wisconsin, you just never know.
Chronic Traveler 
Really enjoying your blog. I’m an unfit englishman whose just started hiking/walking as a hobby with a goal to see Faroes, Greenland, Iceland amongst many other beautiful countries, but for now i’m exploring England for the first time despite living here for 29 years. A good way to train my body up and get my feet used to the battering they are going to get. Really inspiring reading your blog and the photos are great, I’m really enjoying it. Keep it up.
Thanks for some much needed encouragement! As another unfit hiker/walker, I will be following your blog and cheering you on. Britain is definately on my list. Iceland of course is fantastic for all levels of hiking, but the Faroes surprised me and has become my favorite destination. Greenland will kick your butt, but totally worth it.
