Return to Iceland by Julian Chokkattu

It’s been more than a year since I last posted, but hey, this one’s actually travel-related! Yaling and I went back to Iceland in late July through early August. We drove around the Ring Road again, but unlike our 2015 trip, this time we drove clockwise. We made sure to hit the Westfjords, which we missed on the last trip. We’re lucky to have been able to travel during a pandemic (and remain safe), so we’re thankful. If you’ve never been to Iceland, these pictures will hopefully convince you it’s worth it?

Ringing in the New Year in Quebec City by Julian Chokkattu

Yaling and I headed straight to Quebec City a few minutes after the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2016. Apart from trekking through the snow-laden winter wonderland that is Old Quebec, we also took part in what is now my favorite activity — dog sledding!
