I find myself getting anxious as I prepare for my summer abroad. I’ve had a hard time planning and packing but it’s a relief to know flights, car, and hostels are all booked for Iceland. Of course I’m stressed about going on vacation but I know as soon as I land I can take a deep breath and just be present. One more day but first recognize and be grateful for the day I just had.

Have a beautiful time. I know you will. Iceland is breathtaking.
