Shower naked BEFORE you get in.

And no, it’s not optional ❌ It’s mandatory to keep Iceland’s beautiful pools clean, and to respect the local customs. 

But even with signs everywhere, tourists keep skipping it… and locals are getting fed up.

Is it nerves? Disrespect? Or something else entirely?

I’ve got you covered with 7 days of amazing attractions along the Ring Road!

The Ring Road is a route that circles the entire country, making it the PERFECT option for an Iceland road trip 🚙

Here’s how to plan a week-long trip 👇🏼

DAY 1: Use Day 1 to explore the capital and take a dip in the rejuvenating Sky Lagoon!

DAYS 2 + 3: On Day 2, you’ll head to the South Coast to explore stunning waterfalls, black sand beaches and glaciers!

DAY 4: Get ready to experience the tranquility of East Iceland. From quaint towns to dramatic fjords, this region is a feast for the eyes!

DAY 5 + 6: The rugged beauty of North Iceland will leave you speechless of Day 5. From lava fields to geothermal mud pits, you’ll feel like you landed on Mars!

And Goðafoss, the waterfall of the gods, is truly a sight to behold! 

Ready to turn this trip inspo into REALITY?

Back when I lived in the U.S., Tuesdays were usual Back when I lived in the U.S., Tuesdays were usually a blur...
Commuting, working, running errands, and trying to get through the week.

I always made time for adventure, but it was something I had to plan for. A weekend hike, a quick road trip, or that one big vacation a year if the timing worked out.

But now Iceland? It’s just part of the week.

Whether it’s quick soak in a hot spring, short drive with epic views, or just gazing out one evening at the northern lights, it’s like wonder is around every corner ✨

And I’ll never take that for granted. 💚

Double-tap if your Tuesday could use a little more of this! 🙌🏼

Next thing you know, you’ve got a 6 AM wakeup call and a color-coded itinerary that includes three waterfalls before breakfast. 😅

Each one includes:

✅ Season-specific guidance so you’re never caught off guard

You get all the structure, WITHOUT having to spend 40+ hours researching.

This might be Iceland’s most photographed beach… but it’s also one of the most dangerous. 😬

Powerful 'sneaker waves' have pulled visitors into the ocean in mere seconds. They look calm… until they’re not.

Before you go, make sure you know these 3 essential tips to keep your visit safe AND spectacular. ⚠️

This is one beach you want to be extra prepared for, so SWIPE 👉🏼 to learn how! 

Then tell me: is Reynisfjara on your itinerary?

Iceland truly never gets old. Even after nearly a Iceland truly never gets old.

Even after nearly a decade of living here, I still catch myself staring at the sky, pulling over for a photo, or muttering to myself for the 1000th time, “How is this place even real?!”

It’s easy to take places for granted once they become your everyday—but Iceland doesn’t let you.

And now that I’m getting to see it all through my kids eyes, it’s like falling in love with it all over again. 💚

Who else believes Iceland is one of the most magical places on earth? 🇮🇸👇🏼

Some of my favorite hot springs are just an hour or so from Reykjavík:

👉🏼 Hvammsvík has 8 pools built right into the shoreline—with fjord views in every direction, a swim-up bar, and even the option to cold plunge straight into the sea.

👉🏼 Reykjadalur is hot spring river you have to hike into, surrounded by steam and mountains. It’s totally free and SO dreamy!

👉🏼 Laugarvatn Fontana is a laid-back lakeside spa, with hot pools, steam rooms, a lake you can cold plunge into. And their onsite geothermal bakery where they slow bake rye bread underground is just as delicious as it sounds! 😍

That’s just a peek — there’s so much more waiting off the beaten path.
