This Couple’s Journey To Iceland Is The Reason Why You Should Pack Your Bags & Travel

The urge to pack our bags and set off into the unknown hits us all. For Adam and Marta, a Polish couple — Iceland was calling and off they went.

The two amateur photographers dreamed of exploring the Northern country for a long time but it was in Spring 2014 when they decided to set off to the lonely island. Their initial plan was to stay for a week but they ended up staying for more than a year.

Their 18-month journey turned out to be quite an escapade. They ate shark meat, traversed lava fields, escaped volcano eruption, fought with hurricane winds and witnessed nature it all its Icelandic glory. After half a year of adventures, they came back home to Poland – only to return back for a year.

According to Adam, “Iceland put a spell on us. It hypnotises, seduces and we love to stay there, work, create, just to be because Iceland is not only a place – it’s a state of mind”

They now blog about their incredible journey as @biteoficeland and judging from their breathtaking pictures — maybe we all should give in to our wanderlust once in a while.
