I never use travel agencies but tonight I was looking for an adventurous trip into the unknown. GoodGym recommended Ms S's Award-Winning Travel Agency. I travelled to Perivale on foot to find out what they have to offer. The manager, Ms S, recommended an indulgent escape to Iceland.

Up to 10kg carry-on luggage, a stunning riverside, beautiful greenery, a gym, a running track, a golf course and a variety of food from around the world at unbeatable prices. And it was all for free!

I could only say yes to that. There was a caveat though: I had to bring Ms S a package from Iceland. I was too excited to analyse the pros and cons, so I embarked on the journey. On the way, there was a river, an outdoor gym, a golf course and greenery (probably not so green in the winter). I couldn't see almost any of that as it was polar night and it was pitch black.

When I arrived in Iceland, I called Ms S as I couldn't find the exact things for the parcel she asked for. She explained what were the substitutes. After standing in a long queue to get Ms S's order, I decided the place was too touristy for me. I travelled elsewhere to buy several cans of Ms S's favourite holiday fizzy drink. Thankfully, the cabin luggage was up to 10kg, so I was able to carry that with me. While I waited for the departure to go back to Perivale, my fingers were freezing despite that I was wearing gloves.

It was a lovely, memorable break after a midweek workday. I'd do it again. I 100% recommend Ms S's Award-Winning Travel Agency!
