Iceland is Calling
I’ve visited Iceland four times since 2016 – solo, with my husband, and with friends. I’ve snorkeled fissures, touched glacier, rode Icelandic horses, and did it all without a rental car. Here’s everything I know, so you can plan your best trip ever!
There’s No Place Like It
Waterfalls you can walk behind. Glaciers you can touch with bare hands. Northern lights that fill up the sky.
Geothermal pools in the middle of volcanic fields. Iceland is the kind of place that once you go, you’ll spend years plotting your return.
Each trip reveals a different side of the island.
I’m here to help you plan a trip that aligns with your interests, budget, and travel style.
