Several of my stories and travel articles have been shared by online magazines and local tourist information sites. This is a selection of some of those, with their comments. It includes some posts I originally published on the Wilderness Coffee & Natural High Facebook page, where I initially started my blog in 2017.

66 North Iceland
My content was also used without asking me first, or even adding a link to the original article.
66 North, a famous clothing brand in Iceland, used my words about Vestmannaeyjar in their social media posts on Facebook and Instagram in June 2021. Even though I’m kind of honoured to see that my article has obviously inspired them – they took a classic example of my style of writing from ‘The coastal track to Stórhöfði’…
It would be professional to at least acknowledge and credit a link to Wilderness Coffee & Natural High as the original source of where this piece of content came from. The text is literally copied from the section ‘Islands shaped by volcanic activity’ in my article about Stórhöfði.
