Ever since I watched the film in 2007 I couldn't stop obsessing over Iceland. Heima (Icelandic for "at home" or "homeland") is an inspirational documentary film about one of my favorite Icelandic bands, Sigur Rós, when they undertook a series of free, unannounced concerts for 2 weeks around Iceland, their home country.
It is an alternative primer for Iceland as a desolate, magical land where Nature is king. It is perfectly soundtracked by the ethereal music of Sigur Rós. Very very powerful film and music. It fuelled my growing obsession with Scandinavia and the Nordic region, probably my favorite region on Earth.
When I slept I dreamt of Iceland. That was in 2007.
In the summer of 2011 I finally made my dreams happen and gifted myself a trip to Iceland. It was my graduation gift for successfully finishing my 2-year Erasmus Mundus Masters in Europe. My Iceland trip was everything I ever dreamed of and more!
I absolutely love Iceland with its dramatic landscapes and stunning natural beauty. It's home to gorgeous glacier lagoons, wild waterfalls, moody moonscapes and healing hot springs. It's one of the most magical places I have visited to date. It's totally a #DreamEuroTrip destination. Have you always wanted to visit?
