So, my expectations of Iceland – a borderline uninhabitable rock somewhere near the Arctic Circle – and its inhabitants – descendants of a folk hooked on animal skins and horned headgear – were that of a tough nation living in perfect sync with the extreme topography of their land.

It makes you absent-minded (did Jesus really marry Mary Magdalene, and if he did, is all the other stuff in the Da Vinci Code true, too?!), blank-eyed (Jon Snow is dead and me with him!), emotional (Bridge, you’re not the only gordita out there trying to get a boyfriend!), psyched-out (Anastasia, a butt plug, seriously?!) and unresponsive (stop touching me – Katniss is about to eat the poisonous berries!).

So, if you’re hung on such cinematographic pearls like The Human Centipede, The Flintstones or Antman vs. Spiderman 7, read no more – this is not where you should be.

“I’m going to Peru for two weeks and then to Bolivia,” says the plain-looking, skinny backpacker in baggy pants and a pair of trekking boots. “Nein, no tour – I’m going by myself!”

By herself?! To countries most people can’t even place on a map?!

Since when are Germans so spontaneous?!

– all those and another 451 highly decorated objects in gold, silver, coper, textile and feather were found in one of 14 Moche warrior priest tombs in what’s the richest archaeological discovery in the Western Hemisphere ever.

The Spanish lunge forward, severing the hands and arms of the attendants that carry Atahualpa’s palanquin. Ignoring their wounds, the attendants use their stumps or remaining hands to hold it up until several are killed.

Here is what's confusing about it – the largest of the 8 main Hawaiian Islands is the Big Island, but Honolulu, the state capital and biggest city, is located on Oahu, the 3rd largest.

While Oahu is more cosmopolitan and friendly (yet beautiful as well), and Maui a bit overrated and touristy (yet very scenic), Kauai is more of an ‘Eden,’ unspoiled and underrated, with a chiller, ‘local’ vibe to it.
