While the story takes the audience through various countries and adventures, many of the scenes were shot in Iceland. There are locations all […]
Hallo! I hope the winter has been treating you warmly. Our family Christmas trip has come and gone and leading up to our departure I was all kinds of nervous and excited. It was my first time visiting Europe, and my mom planned our entire trip, so aside from a few key locations here and […]
