These were great for the hikes and treks during the day and night, especially because I was able to use my phone with them on to take pictures! At night I did need to add hand warmers but they were snug enough to keep everything warm

I needed snow boots that were comfortable enough for me to wear while trekking through different hikes. I hate shoes and confining my feet, but I also hate my feet being too hot. These boots were so comfy and kept my feet warm with a pair of merino ...

Of course you have to go here! It really lives up to the hype. Hot springs that are the perfect temperature while you breathe the crisp and fresh glacial air. Try to book for early in the morning (we went at 8:30 straight from the airport) or after ...

I know it sounds ridiculous, and it totally is but it actually is pretty interesting too! First of all, best idea ever- buy yourself a penis cocktail to take with you around the museum! Next you learn about the mating habits and size and ratio of ani...
