I Sold Everything I Owned and Moved to Iceland

Moving abroad is hard. I mean, it’s like moving…on steroids. At first you’re like, “YAY, we’re moving abroad! Let’s just sell all of our stuff and get on a plane!” And then, you’re two weeks into packing and selling your…

You’ve heard of Iceland… but have you heard of You’ve heard of Iceland… but have you heard of Mini Iceland? 🤔🇮🇸 Let me introduce you to one of my favorite places in the whole country: the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This region packs everything you love about Iceland into one dreamy, easy-to-explore route — iconic mountains like Kirkjufell, charming fishing villages, dramatic black sand beaches, and volcanic cliffs that look like they belong on another planet. 😍 And the best part? It’s all packed into just 56 miles. No endless driving or long car days required to experience this little slice of Icelandic paradise. Sound dreamy? SWIPE 👉🏼 to see 8 stops you CANNOT miss on your Snæfellsnes adventure! . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
Chaos? I don’t know her. 💁‍♀️💁‍♀ Chaos? I don’t know her. 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️ When you’ve got drive times dialed in, hidden gems mapped, and rest stops pinned BEFORE you land — suddenly, Iceland feels a whole lot more peaceful.  I don’t plan every detail just to be extra (okay, maybe a little 😉). I do it because having a SOLID plan means more time soaking in hot springs and less time stressing over where to find the nearest gas station.  With these itineraries, you’re not just getting a list of stops. You’re getting: ✔️ Realistic drive times between each location ✔️ Seasonal tips so you don’t show up to a trail that’s closed or a road that’s impassable ✔️ Food, bathroom, and gas stop recs where you *actually* need them ✔️ Hidden gems and local favorites you’d never find on TripAdvisor ✔️ Day-by-day structure that keeps you on track but leaves space for adventure These plans are crafted with care, years of experience, and the little things that make a HUGE difference when you’re actually on the road in Iceland. Because the best way to stay relaxed in Iceland… is knowing every detail’s already handled. 💁‍♀️ Ready to skip the stress and just enjoy Iceland? Comment “ITINERARY” and I’ll send you the link to check out my done-for-you Iceland Itineraries! 👇🏼 . . . . . #reykjaviklife #icelandplanning #icelandadvice #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceand #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandroadtrip #icelandic #absoluteiceland #reykjavík #reykjavikiceland #icelandicadventures #traveliniceland
Your camera roll is about to get a WHOLE LOT cuter Your camera roll is about to get a WHOLE LOT cuter. 🥹🐧 If puffins aren’t on your Iceland list yet… let’s fix that. Whether you’re on a short layover and need an easy-access tour, or heading out to the wild Westfjords, this guide has you covered. 📌 Save this post for your summer trip!! P.S. Are you just as obsessed as I am that puffins mate for life?? 😭😭 . . . . . #icelandadventure #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceland #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #absoluteiceland #puffins
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! 👇🏼 . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife

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! Want a FULL checklist and handy guidebook on everything you need to pack for Iceland? 🎒 Just comment “PACK” and I’ll send you my Ultimate Iceland Packing Guide — the one I WISH I had before my first trip! 👇🏼 . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip
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? 🚐👇 . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife

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!)
