In a couple of weeks I’m headed to Scotland and Iceland for a brief vacation adventure. Now, it seems like every time I am on the internet I am surrounded by news bits or ads about things to do in both countries. This is not a paranoid statement, it is true.
The sidebars of practically every website I visit and my Facebook feed are filled with stalker-type ads. Being in marketing, I realize that this is a legitimate advertising play technically called “re-targeting”, but still it is making me antsy. Note to advertisers; I just want to go there and see it for myself so please stop sending me the same ads because I’ve already planned my trip, okay?
That said, I did discover a terrific blog article from TourRadar called, "17 Reasons to Visit Iceland in 2017" that gets me both excited for Iceland and already makes me already feel like I will miss out. You see, I have only a 1-day stopover in Reykjavik and you can read about my plan here (main focus of the Blue Lagoon and seaside hiking). But, if I had more time, it would be fantastic to be able to see some of the places on their list.
Their picture-filled article is called, “17 Reasons to Visit Iceland in 2017” and I encourage you to click here to read every word. For me, it’s potential fuel for a new Iceland trip someday. Below you can read the simple list view below that I have renamed: 17 Things that I Should See & Do in Iceland Someday.
