One of the most common adjectives used to describe Iceland is… expensive. Iceland is one of the most expensive countries. Gas is no exception. The average fuel price is 224 ISK ($1.81) per liter. Meanwhile, the famous Ring Road is 1333 km (828 miles), and that’s if you do not take any detours (but you […]
You probably heard of The Golden Circle. It is the most traveled route in Iceland and often the very first one most people take upon arrival. However, if you are driving up North, get off of the Ring Road for a bit and explore the Diamond Circle. The Diamond Circle is a 250 km route […]
It can be fun to make a quick decision, and one of the best things about camping in camper vans is that you do not need too much preparation and luggage, so you can start your trip with short notice. That is how I got a little idea one Friday morning on the 21st of August […]
When Happy Campers asked me to write a piece on going off the beaten path in Iceland I jumped at the chance. After all, it’s Hidden Iceland‘s bread and butter. We thrive in the lesser known spots. So being able to add an extra level of flexibility i.e. travelling in a Happy Camper campervan, made it […]
There’s no hiding it, Iceland, like other Scandinavian countries, is a particularly expensive place to travel.

Every year in early November, Reykjavik is transformed by the popular music festival Iceland Airwaves. GETTING THERE Iceland may be remote, but you don’t need sled dogs and 4 days worth of non-perishable food to […]
Thinking of an Iceland stopover? If you’re heading to Europe or North America, it’s the perfect way to get a taste of Iceland. For our family’s second trip to Iceland (my third), we wanted the freedom to explore South Iceland without a rigid itinerary. With the midnight sun on our side, we had plans to […]
My girlfriend, Anya, and I have been together for over 3 years. We just graduated college together in May. We both love to travel; throughout the course of our relationship, some of our best memories have taken place whilst traversing foreign lands. Traveling together during college, we saw cities in France, Germany, and Canada. Not […]

I don’t know if the first three associations are just because of my narrow-minded German view of the world but I had a feeling […]
