It's funny how this type of stuff isn't ticketed, but my license plate was off by 1 number in the parkmobile app and I got a parking ticket in less than an hour.

Location is dependent entirely on the weather. There are maps to show the best days and areas to see them, but it's not months in advance. I saw them in Reykjavik in end of November. Iceland is easy to travel around, I wouldn't bother with any tours unless it'd be a flying one or a boat one.

If you're not going off-roading, then driving in Iceland with AWD is painless. Itinerary is going to highly depend on how long you're going. Spring/Summer is going to be best to hike and see the nature. Winter is best for the Northern Lights opportunities.

I had a lot of fun staying mostly local to Reykjavik in the Winter, and traveled more around the country in the Spring.

Great episode, I listened to the podcast form of it. It was really interesting to learn how much habitual drinking can change the neuro pathways over time. I've noticed a lot of benefits since I quit, many were highlighted in the podcast.

Perhaps! I'm kinda hesitant to start something because I'm still working out social anxiety as a sober person. If it's a group, it's a lot easier, but one-on-one feels a bit scary right now. I'm not opposed though!

> Strange man taking me out for drinks but not drinking himself would be HUGE red flags.

100%. I will say that in a few cases of me not disclosing it, I've offered <activity> and people seem to be more comfortable grabbing a quick drink or two for a first date. When I mention I don't drink, I've been ghosted. Some people just prefer getting a drink because it eases the nerves and is simple. So a lot of my pre-disclosure experiences were getting ghosted anyway.
