Halloween is not an official holiday in Iceland bu Halloween is not an official holiday in Iceland but last night I saw ghosts and bats in the sky in the form of northern lights! The aurora forecast was a kp SEVEN last night - the highest I’ve ever seen so I knew this was gonna be a good one. Around 10pm I looked out the window and saw they were starting up so I grabbed my camera and tripod and headed outside. The sky EXPLODED in green - the aurora was everywhere I looked. Even Icelanders were coming outside to check it out! Ribbons danced across the sky like someone was playing the piano, swirls and shapes of green took over the darkness. At one point I felt like I could reach up and touch them they were so close. ❓Which shape is your favorite❓I think photo 6 looks like a spaceship is trying to land and photo 7 looks like a creepy spirit! These lights were in my top three sightings, they were SO strong! My heart was racing and I kept saying “holy shit!” If you were here last night you got an amazing show. Lets hope for more like this for the rest of the winter 🤞 #icelandwithaview
MUST see in Reykjavík! 🤩 The Imagine Peace To MUST see in Reykjavík! 🤩 The Imagine Peace Tower is a massive light beam as a tribute to John Lennon by his widow Yoko Ono. It is lit annually on Viðey Island just outside of Reykjavík from October 9th (the day he was born) until December 8th (the day he passed away). Every year the annual lighting ceremony is held on the opening night, but you can also visit the tower any day that it is lit. Check out my new vlog showing how you can join! Link in bio. #icelandwithaview
Welp, after 6 months of the volcano erupting, I FI Welp, after 6 months of the volcano erupting, I FINALLY got a chance to go out and tackle the hike. The weather was perfect - clear skies and no wind! A rare day here in Iceland. But when I got to the top of the mountain there was NO LAVA FLOWING. 😭 Was I incredibly bummed that I went all the way there and only saw steaming black hardened lava? Yes. But the good news is you can learn from my experience and plan the best hike ever to Iceland's current erupting volcano. In my latest video I tell you everything you need to know to plan your trip to the volcano: ✅ How to plan the hike ✅ Parking info ✅ Difference between the trails ✅ Websites to check for conditions ✅ What you need to wear ✅ What to bring on the hike and MORE! Link to watch is in my bio. I'd love to know if you are planning to hike to the volcano on your trip? Let me know in the comments! #icelandwithaview
SUMMER VS. WINTER (swipe to see the difference😮 SUMMER VS. WINTER (swipe to see the difference😮)⁣ ⁣ I woke up today at 6am and it was still dark. Three months ago it would have been bright as day. ⁣ ⁣ If you think planning an October trip is the same as planning a June trip you are mistaken my friend! ⁣ ⁣ But the good news is that my guidebooks help you plan out these details for the season you are traveling. ⁣ ⁣ Not only do I break down the sunrise and sunset for each month, but I give must-know seasonal information for EACH main attraction and hidden gem along your journey. ⁣ ⁣ Like did you know you can’t access certain places during certain months? ⁣ ⁣ You don’t want to run into a hiccup like that on your vacation. ⁣ ⁣ Grab your copy through the link in my bio! ⁣ #icelandwithaview

(And some of them might not be what you think!)⁣ ⁣ In this weeks BRAND NEW YouTube video I'm talking about 8 things I LOVE about living in Iceland. And yes, it was hard to narrow down a list to only 8 things!⁣ ⁣ When you watch it I would love to know what you think! Is there anything that surprised you or you resonated with? Let me know in the comments.⁣ ⁣ #icelandwithaview

Hi August 👋🏼 ⁣ ⁣ A month that brings big Hi August 👋🏼 ⁣ ⁣ A month that brings big changes in Iceland. ⁣ ⁣ Cooler temperatures. ⁣ Dark nights. ⁣ THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. ⁣ ⁣ I was on vacation for the month of July and coming back home I can definitely feel autumn in the air. The Lupine are gone. The air is crisp. Some rivers have changed from teal blue to brown (third photo). ⁣ ⁣ It’s bittersweet because we know that summer is dwindling, yet we welcome back the darkness and start preparing for winter coziness. ⁣ ⁣ I love the next three months though, it always reminds me of my first trip to Iceland - a beautiful dose of nostalgia. ⁣ ⁣ Anyone visiting August-October? Get excited for peak aurora season 🤩⁣ ⁣ #icelandwithaview
