You deserve better than wet, miserable feet on you You deserve better than wet, miserable feet on your Iceland trip. 🥶

Packing for Iceland is an art — from layering up to staying dry to choosing gear that can handle ANYTHING Iceland throws your way. 💪🏼

And when it comes to shoes?

Iceland’s rugged trails, rainy days, and slippery hot springs are NOT the place to test out “cute but not practical” footwear. 😅

Here’s the footwear game plan you’ll want:

👉🏼 Waterproof hiking boots: a must-have for trails, waterfalls, and all your outdoor adventures!

👉🏼 Comfy walking/hiking shoes: perfect for museum days, exploring towns or cities, or lighter 

👉🏼 Flip-flops: essential for hot springs and pools.

And don’t bother with dressy shoes. Hiking boots and leggings are like an unofficial uniform in Iceland. 😂

Want the full packing breakdown (complete with a layering cheat sheet, pro tips and a shopping guide)?

Comment "PACK" for my FREE Ultimate Iceland Packing Guide — I’ll send you everything you need to feel ready! 👇🏼

Pack cute if you want… But when the wind’s com Pack cute if you want…
But when the wind’s coming in sideways and your umbrella’s doing cartwheels down the street, you’ll wish you packed smarter 😏

Iceland doesn’t play — one minute it’s sunny skies, the next you’re caught in a torrential downpour.

From layering like a pro to prioritizing comfort, these are the 4 rules I stick to every time I travel in Iceland.

They’ll keep you warm, dry, and TOTALLY prepared for whatever the day throws at you!

You wake up to breathtaking views... You make cof You wake up to breathtaking views...

You make coffee in your french press and start making eggs & bacon in your camping stove 🍳☕️

You snuggle up beside your loved one and eat breakfast together gazing out at rugged volcanic terrain, massive glaciers, and powerful waterfalls 🌋

You hit the road on your own time for another day of exploring...today you’re going to check out a geothermal hot spring. You gaze out the window and take in the scenery along the way!

If this sounds like a dream come true (and trust me...it is)

...Then renting a camper van in Iceland is the best option for you! 🙌

Not only is this option your wheels and your bed, but it’s also equipped for cooking as well!

For budget travelers and adventure lovers alike, renting a camper van for your Iceland trip is an AMAZING option. 💃

And the BEST Iceland campervan company that I have used and always highly recommend is Happy Campers :)

They’re a family-run business that’s been operating in Iceland since 2009. 

They know Iceland camper van rentals inside-out — and I ALWAYS recommend them to anyone who wants to see the country in this unique, budget-friendly way. 💸

If an Iceland road trip is calling your name, you can get SWEET discount by heading to the link in my bio! 🔗

Let me know...have you ever dreamt of traveling Iceland — camper van style? 🚐👇

Want more money-saving hacks for your Iceland trip Want more money-saving hacks for your Iceland trip?

Comment "MAPS" and I’ll send you my Iceland Guidebooks + Maps — packed with practical tips, hidden gems, and local discounts that help you travel smart (and save big)! 

Let’s be honest: food in Iceland isn’t cheap. But with a little planning, you can seriously stretch your budget without missing out.

Here are 3 of my favorite food-saving strategies:

👉🏼 Grocery shop and cook your own meals if you’re renting a campervan or your accommodation has a kitchen - restaurant costs can add up QUICK 💸

👉🏼 Book places with free breakfast (ESPECIALLY in the smaller towns!) 

👉🏼 And yes… eat the hot dogs. They’re made with lamb, they’re delicious, and they cost next to nothing. Even the gas stations ones are DELICIOUS 🤤

Need a smarter way to plan your trip — without overspending at every turn?

My Iceland Guidebooks + Maps are designed to help you travel confidently AND stay on budget...with clear, realistic advice you can actually use on the road. 💪🏼

I cover what to pack, where to eat, how to save, and the best places to explore (as someone who’s been adventuring in Iceland for nearly a decade!)

She didn’t know how it would all turn out. Leav She didn’t know how it would all turn out.

Leaving behind everything familiar… moving across the world… starting over — it was terrifying.

There were tears. Doubts. SO many unknowns.

Visa struggles dragged on. Plans felt like they were stuck in limbo.

But she kept moving forward — and took the leap anyway.

And that leap? It was the beginning of something SO beautiful. ✨

A new country. A family. And eventually… a business helping thousands fall in love with Iceland — just like she did.

That unexpected life detour changed everything.

And honestly? I wouldn’t change a thing. ❤️

Ever think about what your old self would say if she saw your life today? I know I do. 🥹

Apparently, my body’s love language is: geotherm Apparently, my body’s love language is: geothermal pools and glacier hikes. 💦🗻

Hot steam, fresh air, zero notifications — that’s my version of a perfect rest day.

Less hustle. More hot springs. That’s the mood. 💁‍♀️

So if “listen to your body” means booking a flight to Iceland… honestly, that tracks. And you KNOW you have my full support. 😉
