This weeks episode is Amanda's riveting journey to Iceland, the land of fire and ice, an adventurous spirit who traded America for the stark beauty of Iceland. In this episode of 'Worlds Collide,' I sit down with Amanda to unravel her decade-long saga in the volcanic embrace of this Nordic nation. From the seismic leap of moving with her family to embracing the quirks of Icelandic cuisine – think rotten shark and boiled sheep's head – Amanda reveals the nuances of expatriate life in an environment where nature's raw power is a backdrop to daily life.

With anecdotes that traverse the spectrum from the challenges of learning Icelandic to the heartwarming community response to volcanic eruptions, Amanda's tale is a testament to the resilience and warmth of the human spirit. As a mother raising a bilingual child and a podcaster with a flair for comedy, she offers a glimpse into the life lessons and laughter that come with calling Iceland home.

As always, if Amanda's story has stirred your wanderlust or you have your own tale of cultural adaptation, we invite you to connect with us at [email protected] or follow the adventure on Instagram @worldscollidepod.
