With the presidential election only days away, some Americans are stepping back from the heightened tensions and constant noise surrounding this pivotal moment.
Mary and Tony, feeling exhausted by the whirlwind of campaign ads, political debates, and intense emotions that have filled the year, decided to head to Iceland to find some peace.
They describe feeling overwhelmed by the seemingly endless flow of information, misinformation, and confusion leading up to Election Day.
