After watching this film, I found mine again. Klara Harden’s dream had a dream too, she wanted to explore Iceland. She raised 1250 Euros (through crowdfunding) and spent 25 days hiking through the forlorn countryside – by herself. That takes some balls. I think I just met my new hero. You get a little more insight into the solo journey from her interview with Nomad Earth.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. “ Mark Twain
