Jet Lag, Joy, and Japanese Toilets — a Love Story of Sorts
Six women. One city. Countless servings of takoyaki. Osaka was more than a destination—it was the start of rediscovering who I am (with a little help from my dear friend and a very advanced toilet)
Felicity Arvizu Takes On: Washington, D.C.
They say Washington, D.C. is the beating heart of American democracy. Personally, I’d say it’s more like a heartbeat monitor—beep… beep… pause… “oh, is this thing still on?” But after three days in the nation’s capital, I can confirm: it’s a city worth taking on, even if you nearly end up knocking on the WhiteContinue reading “Felicity Arvizu Takes On: Washington, D.C.”
Day 5: Bugs, Glaciers, and Reindeer Spring Rolls- Paamuit, Greenland
Let’s get this out of the way: I didn’t expect Paamiut, Greenland, to be a top-tier travel day. But here we are.

Today I found myself caught in the middle of an icy turf war between two towns on the edge of the world: Ísafjörður and Bolungarvík, two ruggedly charming fishing communities in Iceland’s Westfjords. Apparently, these two towns have a rivalry hotter than geothermal steam. There’s even a tunnel involved. But I’ll get to that. First—golf and immortality. Ísafjörður:Continue reading “Day 4- Tunnel Wars, Shark Snacks, and Seal Suits: The Battle of Ísafjörður vs. Bolungarvík”
Heart Lights, Pagan Gods & Boiling Bread: A Day in Akureyri
Day Three: Akureyri Adventures Today’s adventure began with me not falling overboard while disembarking a cruise ship, which I consider a solid start to any day. We arrived in Akureyri, Iceland’s “Capital of the North,” and I instantly knew I was in the right place when the first thing I saw was… a heart. Not from a local,Continue reading “Heart Lights, Pagan Gods & Boiling Bread: A Day in Akureyri”
Churches, Horns &… What Now? My Second Day Solo in Reykjavik
Day two in Reykjavik started just steps from my hotel—no 25-minute suitcase-dragging detour required this time (growth, people!). 🌈 First Stop: Rainbow Road – The Shortcut to Joy I wandered around the corner and found myself on Skólavörðustígur, also known as Rainbow Road. This colorful street was originally painted in 2015 for Reykjavík Pride and became soContinue reading “Churches, Horns &… What Now? My Second Day Solo in Reykjavik”
