Visiting Iceland It is a big dream of me to visit Iceland someday. I love the beauty of nature, enjoy being outdoors and find it totally interesting to discover new countries. Iceland has beautiful landscapes, is famous for its geysers, waterfalls and hot springs and I would love to experience the country in different seasons. Once in summer, when everything is blooming and green, and of course in winter. A special highlight would be to see the northern lights. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone who would like to accompany me on such a trip. Most of my friends prefer to spend their holidays in warmer countries that are more popular for tourits. A lot of them like to have "beach holidays". Of course, I could travel alone. But I find that more boring than with someone else. I also have terrible fear of flying and don't know how I would survive a flight alone with someone holding my hand. By the way, I find the Icelandic language very interesting. Some words sound very cute. For example, a panda bear is called "Bambusbjörn" in Icelandic. A funny word. I like it.

Visiting Iceland

It is a big dream of mine to visit Iceland someday. I love the beauty of nature, enjoy being outdoors and find it really/very* interesting to discover new countries. Iceland has beautiful landscapes, (it) is famous for its geysers, waterfalls and hot springs, and I would love to experience the country in different seasons. Once in summer, when everything is blooming and green, and of course in winter. A special highlight would be to see the northern lights (or, seeing the northern lights would be a special highlight).

Unfortunately, I couldn't (or can't?)** find anyone who would like to accompany me on such a trip. Most of my friends prefer to spend their holidays in warmer countries that are more popular for tourists. A lot of them like to have "beach holidays".
Of course, I could travel alone, but I find that more boring than travelling with someone else. I also have a terrible fear of flying and don't know how I would survive a flight alone without someone holding my hand.

By the way/On another note, I find the Icelandic language very interesting. Some words sound very cute. For example, a panda bear is called "Bambusbjörn" in Icelandic. A funny word. I like it.


Another clear and well-written notebook entry! Iceland is definitely near the top of my list too; perhaps my wife and I will stop over there next year on our way to Ireland!

*In this case, I would suggest really or very interesting, because totally sounds a little too much like 1990s California slang.

**Since you haven't gone on this trip yet, I would be more inclined to say "I can't find anyone" in this case. "I couldn't find anyone" would imply either that you went by yourself or that you ended up choosing not to go.
