Christchurch native Rowan Bashford is living his best life in Iceland, where he runs a guiding company with his partner, Guðný Diljá Helgadóttir, who grew up a stone's throw from where the couple are based on a farm called Malarás in the Öræfi region. Recently, he and Guðný dropped everything to drive five and a half hours to check out the eruption at Mount Fagradalsfjall -- which was the first of its type in almost 800 years. He's Calling Home this morning.
