Happy New Year!!  I hope you all had a fun start to the 2023. I thought it would be fun to share a wrap of 2022 with some major news stories from Iceland and some of my favorite episodes that I published last year. There were certainly a lot of ups and downs throughout the year, but such is life.

The sponsors of this episode are Go Car Rental Iceland and Cintamani.

Go Car Rent Iceland is an awesome car rental company that has great customer service, a large variety of cars to choose from, and competitive rates.

Cintamani is a local Icelandic outdoor clothing company that makes high quality clothing designed to withstand harsh Icelandic weather conditions. I wear their clothes when I’m out exploring the country, and I’m thankful for them because they keep me warm and dry.

Random Fact of the Episode
I published 34 episodes including 10 interviews in 2022. This surprised me when I looked at it because my initial feeling was that I didn’t do that much for the podcast last year. Thankfully, my inner critic was silenced when I actually looked at the numbers.

I would like to thank all of you that listened, shared, and wrote reviews for the podcast. The feedback means a lot and I look forward to publishing many more exciting episodes this year. My hope is to get more interviews this year because I had to put that on the back burner last year due to a busier schedule.
