Arrival Day in Iceland isn’t necessarily HARD, b Arrival Day in Iceland isn’t necessarily HARD, but it *can* catch you off guard if you’re not prepared.

I mean… customs at 6 AM? Before coffee? Running on two hours of airplane sleep? Yeah. 😅

It’s easy to skip Duty Free, overspend on a taxi, or plan too much for Day 1 without realizing how tired you’ll actually be.

That’s exactly what my Free Iceland Arrival Guide is for — to help avoid those first-timer regrets and start the trip feeling calm, not scrambled. 😌

You might be used to turning right on red back home, but in Iceland, that’s a no-go. 🚦 Even if there’s no one coming, you’ve gotta wait for the green.

This isn’t signposted, so it’s something you’ve gotta be *extra* careful about before getting behind the wheel. It definitely took me a little getting used to!

It’s the little things that make life in Iceland It’s the little things that make life in Iceland so special 🫶🏼

A soak in a hot spring. Wide, open roads. An unexpected waterfall you stumble across.

There’s something about this place that makes you want to slow down and really take it in.

Icelanders don’t rush. They take their time.

And you can feel it in everything...from the handwoven lopapeysa sweaters to the farm-to-table meals, prepared slowly with the freshest local ingredients.

There’s beauty in the quiet, in the rhythm, and in doing things with care 💚

Iceland constantly reminds me of that, and seriously couldn’t be more in love with the lifestyle here. ✨

It’s that time of year again...where midnight fe It’s that time of year again...where midnight feels like noon it’s SO BRIGHT OUT!

This tip will change your life (or at least your sleep quality) during your trip - BRING A SLEEP MASK!

The midnight sun in Iceland is no joke - it’s bright, it’s beautiful, and it’ll SERIOUSLY mess up your sleep cycle if you don’t pack properly ☀️

But with a sleep mask, you can rest easy (literally) knowing that you won’t be disturbed by the 24-hour daylight.

This one is so soft and silky! You literally feel like you’re in a cozy cocoon of darkness, no matter the time of day.

It’s also affordable and SO easy to order!
I have it linked in my stories for anyone who’s curious - just visit my “Packing Links” highlight 📦

Feeling overwhelmed by all the places you want to Feeling overwhelmed by all the places you want to see in Iceland? 😅

You’re not alone…there is SO much to add to the list! 

Here’s my 3-step process to prioritize 👇🏼

✅ Start with your dream spots. What are those places that have been on your bucket list forever? Plan your route around these!

✅ Check if they’re actually open when you’re visiting (this is especially important if you’re visiting in winter or in shoulder-season)

✅ Time your visits to avoid the crowds (early mornings are your best friend)

✅ And don’t forget to explore BEYOND the popular attractions, too! Some of my most unforgettable Iceland moments came from spontaneous stops at quieter places. 

If figuring out how to fit it all together has your head spinning…I’ve got you.

My 👉 Iceland itineraries are fully mapped out with drive times, top sights, hidden gems, and exactly how long to spend at each stop

Whether you’ve got 5 days or 2 weeks, these itineraries take the guesswork out of planning the perfect trip…so you can focus on the fun stuff! 💃

Anyone can string together a list of stops in Icel Anyone can string together a list of stops in Iceland.

But if you want to plan an itinerary that checks all the boxes ✅ be sure to ask yourself these 5 questions 👇🏼

🤔 What are your must-see stops?
🤔 How much can you realistically fit into a day?
🤔 Where should you stay (and how often should you move)?
🤔 Where will you eat, especially in remote areas?
🤔 How will you keep everything organized on the road?

These are the building blocks of your itinerary that shape your entire trip. 

And they're the difference between feeling rushed and feeling like you're exactly where you're supposed to be.

Reading through all this and feeling like it’s a LOT to consider? 

My Iceland Itineraries give you a clear, day-by-day plan — complete with dining spots, accommodations, and tour recs that I personally trust.

They’re packed with insider tips and designed to help you see the best of Iceland without cramming too much in. 

And even better?

Not only does the digital map included with each itinerary feature highlights and ridden gems along your route…

I’ve also marked grocery stores, gas stations, and other practical stops—the kind of details that make a big difference on the road.

👇🏼 Comment “ITINERARY” to skip the stress and get a solid plan for your Iceland trip!

Dreaming of Iceland in June? 🇮🇸 Here’s wh Dreaming of Iceland in June? 🇮🇸

Here’s what you need to know 👇🏼

☀️ Get ready to experience the magic of the midnight sun with basically 24 hours of daylight! Perfect for non-stop exploring and taking in the beauty of Iceland.

🌸 June brings stunning landscapes with colorful wildflowers and lush greenery, making Iceland's scenery even more breathtaking. 

🌡️ Temperatures range from 37-62°F (3-16°C). Be ready for all kinds of weather by packing layers, a waterproof jacket, and don’t forget a sleep mask to help you rest with all that daylight!

🚗 Driving is straightforward with mostly clear roads. For the Ring Road and Golden Circle, a 2WD will suffice, but you’ll need a 4WD if you plan to explore the Highlands.

🎉 June is festival season! Enjoy the Reykjavík Arts Festival and celebrate Iceland’s Independence Day on June 17th.

My Iceland Maps + Guidebooks take the guesswork out of planning—highlighting the best stops, hidden gems, and practical tips for exploring in any season!
