Iceland  Deep Reset 10 Day

Iceland Deep Reset 10 Day

The Iceland Reset is a 10-day experience designed to help you slow down, recharge, and reconnect through nature, movement, and simplicity. Based in the quiet fjord-side setting of Hjalteyri, this journey takes you off the beaten path and away from crowds, into a calmer, more authentic rhythm of life. Each day blends gentle activity—such as scenic coastal walks, light hikes, and optional whale watching—with time to rest, restore, and enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. Guests can unwind with cold dips, geothermal bathing, and optional massage treatments, while evenings are centered around nourishing, locally sourced meals at Eyri. With minimal travel between locations and a focus on balance rather than intensity, this experience is not about doing more—but about feeling better.

Northern Lights Adventure October 2026

Northern Lights Adventure October 2026

September through March is a great time to see aurora borealis ( northern lights ) in Iceland. Theforecast for northern lights is for them to get stronger and stronger over the next 4 years. We arelucky in Iceland to be at the right latitude to get to see them often. We have also chosen these dates specifically when there is a new moon for portion, as full moon will impair the viewing of northern lights. We have a schedule but want to also keep the itinerary open at times if we have to move because of cloud cover. Flexibility is important, and sometimes itinerary is subject to change, according to the northern lights forecast. In our experience Hjalteyri is a good place to be for a few nights, because the area allows us the flexibility to move around.

Travel Guide to Bulgaria

Black Sea, Mountains & Balkan Traditions

Shores, Peaks & Civilizations Layered Across Millennia

Bulgaria is a remarkably diverse Southeast European destination where the sun‑drenched shores of the Black Sea meet dramatic mountain landscapes and one of the continent’s oldest cultural legacies. Strategically located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, the country has been shaped by Thracian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman civilizations—layers of history still visible in its cities, monasteries, and archaeological treasures.

Coastlines of Gold, Ancient Ports & Sunlit Heritage

Along the eastern coast, the Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera stretches for nearly 400 kilometers, offering wide sandy beaches, mineral springs, and lively resort towns. The historic port city of Varna blends seaside relaxation with culture, home to the remarkable Varna Gold Treasure—among the oldest worked gold in the world (over 6,000 years old). Southward, Burgas provides access to nature reserves and coastal lakes rich in birdlife, while ancient Nessebar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enchants visitors with its medieval churches and cobbled streets perched on a narrow peninsula.

Ancient Capitals, Sacred Domes & Creative Cities in the Heart of Bulgaria

Inland, Bulgaria’s capital Sofia is one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, framed by the Vitosha Mountains. Landmarks such as the grand Alexander Nevsky Cathedral—one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world—reflect Bulgaria’s deep Orthodox Christian heritage. Farther south, Plovdiv, one of Europe’s oldest cities, boasts a remarkably preserved Roman theater, colorful 19th‑century Revival houses, and a thriving creative district; it was named European Capital of Culture in 2019.

Peaks, Monasteries & Wild Landscapes Shaped by Centuries

Bulgaria’s natural landscapes are equally compelling. The Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina) stretch across the country from west to east, historically dividing north and south. The rugged Rhodope Mountains are famed for dramatic gorges and folklore legends, while the Rila Mountains are home to the country’s highest peak, Musala (2,925 m), the tallest in the Balkans. Nestled within these peaks lies the UNESCO‑listed Rila Monastery, founded in the 10th century and celebrated for its vivid frescoes and striking striped architecture. Nature lovers also explore the glacial Seven Rila Lakes, Pirin National Park (another UNESCO site), and extensive hiking and skiing areas.

Folklore, Flavors & Ancient Rituals Alive in Modern Bulgaria

Culturally, Bulgaria is renowned for its vibrant folklore traditions, elaborate traditional costumes, and distinctive polyphonic singing—recognized by UNESCO as part of humanity’s intangible heritage. Annual festivals celebrate ancient customs, including kukeri masked dances meant to ward off evil spirits. Bulgarian cuisine reflects regional diversity: banitsa (cheese pastry), shopska salad with white sirene cheese, slow‑cooked stews, yogurt made with the unique Lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria, and robust local wines from the Thracian Valley.

Empires, Trails & Timeless Traditions Shaping a Modern Nation

With a history spanning over 1,300 years since the founding of the First Bulgarian Empire in 681 AD, modern Bulgaria—now a member of the European Union—offers a compelling mix of affordability, authenticity, and natural beauty. Whether exploring Roman ruins, hiking alpine trails, discovering Orthodox monasteries, or relaxing by the Black Sea, visitors find a destination where ancient heritage and living traditions blend seamlessly with warm Balkan hospitality.
