1. I’d plan in advance. Iceland isn’t the plac 1. I’d plan in advance. Iceland isn’t the place to wing it (lodging, cars, and tours book fast)
 2. I’d look up daylight hours for the season so I’d know how much time I actually had to explore
 3. I’d check the season before planning anything. Some sites just aren’t accessible year-round, and others (like the Northern Lights) only happen in specific windows. 
 4. I’d choose a travel pace that matches how I like to explore instead of simply jamming in as much as possible. 
 5. I’d make sure a digital map handy —  not just for navigating, but to easily find restaurants, restrooms, and gas stations in remote areas!
 6. I’d skip the touristy hot springs and head to local pools or lesser-known hot pots.
 7. I’d build buffer time into my itinerary for snack breaks, photo opps and even spontaneous detours. 
 8. I’d pack layers. And then pack more. Even in summer!
 9. I’d plan out where to grab food ahead of time, because in some areas, there’s nothing for miles, and you don’t want to find that out when you’re already hungry.
 10. I’d get guidance from someone who’s actually an expert—so I don’t waste time, miss key stops, or stress about planning. I know all of this now, but when I first traveled here, no one was really talking about these things. I had to dig through endless internet forums, cross-reference outdated blog posts, and learn a lot of lessons the hard way—missed turns, closed roads, and more than one “we should’ve planned this better” moment. That’s exactly why I created my Iceland Maps + Guidebooks. So you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did—and so you can avoid the overwhelm and fully ENJOY the trip you’ve been dreaming about!  Comment “MAPS” below and I’ll send you the link to check them out! 👇🏼 . . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
Think you’ve seen it all in Iceland? Think again Think you’ve seen it all in Iceland?

Landing in Iceland can feel like arriving on anoth Landing in Iceland can feel like arriving on another planet. 🪐 The roads stretch into the distance, the landscape feels vast and unfamiliar—and suddenly, your carefully planned trip feels a little shaky.

But most importantly? They give you the kind of real-world Iceland know-how that makes all the difference once you’re actually here. Because there’s nothing I love more than helping travelers turn that early uncertainty into the confidence to have the trip of a lifetime. 💚 If you’re planning a trip and feeling overwhelmed, I’ve got your back 💁‍♀️ Comment “MAPS” and I’ll send you the link to check them out!

PSA For Family Travelers 📣 The playgrounds in I PSA For Family Travelers 📣 The playgrounds in Iceland are SERIOUSLY next-level! 😍 One of our FAVE things about them are the gigantic bouncing mats/pillows. These bouncing mats are usually found near playgrounds in the villages throughout Iceland. We always stop at them with my little ones – they’re 👏🏼 so 👏🏼 much👏🏼 fun!  Imagine something like a big trampoline that’s built into the ground. I go on them myself (because hey, adults can have fun too!) and cue not stop laughing!  If you have kids, they’ll absolutely love it.  They’re everywhere, they’re free and they’re perfect for letting kids burn off some road trip energy (while you soak in the views). Oh and another bonus? I have all of them linked on my Iceland Maps (find more details in my bio link!).  They’re an absolute blast! 🙌 Did you see these mats when you were roadtripping around Iceland, and were you just as blown away by the playgrounds as I was?? . . . . . #icelandadventure #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceland #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #absoluteiceland
