Hovering above meadows of moss covered rock in the solitude of Iceland stands the Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel by Minarc. The landscape tumbles naturally all round, as if it had been waiting for the build to fit seamlessly. Welcome to a rejuvenating place where recycled and reused materials coexist with a gratifying getaway experience.  Great measures have been taken to ensure responsible care for the environment; for example the plenty of waters nearby are converted into geothermal energy for heat and hot water sources throughout. Likewise, the design of many windows eliminates the need for using lights during the day, conserving energy….preserving serene views of Lake Thingvallavatn and its surrounding mountains for visitors.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
