Plan for a dream and it WILL come true. Wether that dream is a life goal, work goal or a something you have always wanted to do or see. It doesn’t happen over night, it needs to be prepared & planned.
It was my ambition to see the Northern Lights. After a few failed attempts to see them in Scotland, the time had come to get over to Iceland.
A daunting thought as we had never been there before. It was time to take the plunge. I plotted & planned, after working hard to allow the finances to take us there AND plot a route I believed where the chances would be best for viewing.
Night 1 on arrival I managed a faint viewing. Faint to the eye yet bright on camera… but the 2nd night was an “OH WOW” moment. A fist pump into the air and jump up and down like a loony moment.
5th March 2023 at 11.30pm, the brightest dancing aurora were over our heads and in view over the lake in Selfoss.
A very happy Joanne, now completely satisfied a dream had been reached.
Selfoss March 5th 2023 at 11.30pm Happy Birthday to me 💚🇮🇸
Iceland, a stunning interesting country has fulfilled a life memory.

Hi I love to travel, I love to socialise and celebrate life. At an early age, I had a taste for travel and adventure. In my 20's I was fortunate enough to get a job travelling the world on cruise ships, whilst working for "The Shops on Board". My sailing years took me to America, The Caribbean, across the world to Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. I even had the memorable chance to sail along the Amazon River through the jungle. Later on in life, with our three children, Ray and I would take our family to different places, and go exploring to find new areas we would never have seen before.
The spirit of adventure never leaves us, we still keep finding new places, here in the UK and abroad.
Now we are proud grandparents to the adorable Harley & Jessica.
Because of my love for travel & adventure, I have chosen a way of working to complement my love for people and socialising. I am a celebrant who loves to celebrate life whilst creating life time memories. I am using this blog site to talk about my passions. Travel, celebrant work, my love of photography and my beautiful family, which is so important to me. Life is for living, so let's embrace what we do as best as we can đź’źđź’›
