Going on a campervan trip in Iceland gives you a lot of bragging rights among your friends back home. You can tell them all about the breakfasts you cooked beside a glacier, nights spent chasing the midnight sun, or camping out like Walter Mitty.

May 4, 2017 Stargazing in Iceland

One of the best parts about coming to Iceland is the crisp and clean air. This not only allows you to breathe a bit easier during your stay, but it makes for stargazing even better than normally good conditions. There’s few memories in my all of my travels that can compare to nights stargazing in […]

March 2, 2017 How to Make the Best of a Snow Day in Reykjavík

Mother Nature gave the locals- and travelers alike- the gift of a spectacular Winter Wonderland on Sunday morning in Iceland. A total of 51 centimeters of snow was recorded as the largest snowfall in decades!
