Too many because that museum traumatized me. Especially because I went before it moved to Reykjavik and was in two small rooms so you just felt surrounded by penises.

Was absolutely as bad as I expected. And I’m doing it again (trying out a different barn/trainer) on Thursday.

I’m taking my first horseback riding lesson in 20 years today and I am ridiculously nervous. I was so good way back when and I know I’m going to be terrible now.

No, we’ll be assigning on a rolling basis

Please fill out this form (one form per destination please) and I'll start contacting people next month for initial assignments. After that I'll likely be assigning monthly for this ongoing project.

These'll be a mix of inspiration and practical info: why go/what makes the place great, where to stay, what to do, how to get there on points. Unsure of word count; thinking 800-ish and ~$250 payment. Knowledge of points is helpful, but we can write "how to get there" in-house if you don't have it
