Iceland is a cliche. Well, in the sense that almost every landscape photographer out there has been there, is planning on going there, or knows someone who has gone there.

It can be a zoo, yes. Well, at least, in certain locations. There are certain waterfalls and beautiful scenery that have been featured on countless IG accounts, which has led to an incredible influx of photographers and travelers from around the world to flock to this small country. Iceland's infrastructure has often struggled to keep up.

Here's the thing, though, about Iceland: it lives up to its hype. It is a country where the first time I drove into the southeastern side of the country, I said "wow" around every single corner, every single turn in the road. The "wows" repeated for five hours until I arrived at my destination.

I have now been to Iceland seven times, and all I can say is that any place in the world, you get out of it what you're willing to put in. If you're a lover of beauty, you'll find it. If you're looking for uniqueness, you'll find it. If you're looking to experience one of the truly grand places on our planet, you will - without hesitation - find it.

I go to Iceland, each time I am fortunate to travel there, with an open mind and heart. I go to experience, and if I'm fortunate enough to "see" - if I find that inspiration - I consider myself grateful.
