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? 🇮🇸👇🏼 . . . . . #reykjaviklife #icelandplanning #icelandadvice #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceand #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandroadtrip #icelandic #absoluteiceland #reykjavík #reykjavikiceland #icelandicadventures #traveliniceland

Drop MAPS in the comments and I’ll DM you the li Drop MAPS in the comments and I’ll DM you the link to my Iceland Guidebooks + Digital Maps — packed with hidden gems, planning tips, and the exact locations you won’t find in your average travel guide ⬇️ 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.

It’s the most magical time of the year because…THE HIGHLANDS ARE OPENING 😍✨ It’s officially Highlands season, Team Iceland! Every summer, from June through September, the F-roads reopen and give you access to Iceland’s most remote and jaw-dropping landscapes. I’m talking painted mountains, steaming valleys, rugged trails, and hot springs with no one else around. 🙌 Whether you’re dreaming of Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, Kerlingarfjöll (or you’re not quite sure where to start) this is your window to explore Iceland’s wild side. But here’s the thing: ⛰️ The roads are rough 📍 The routes are remote 👉🏼 And it’s VERY easy to miss the best parts without a solid plan That’s why I created my Highlands Map + Guidebooks, to help you explore confidently, find hidden gems, and plan smarter! After years of exploring these remote landscapes – navigating tricky F-roads, discovering hidden valleys, and learning the hard way where to fuel up, I gathered all that knowledge in one place. Comment “MAPS” and I’ll DM you the link to shop my Highlands Guidebook + Map so you can start planning your mountain adventure! ⬇️ . . . . . #reykjaviklife #icelandplanning #icelandadvice #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceand #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandroadtrip #icelandic #absoluteiceland #reykjavík #reykjavikiceland #icelandicadventures #traveliniceland
Planning a trip to Iceland? Here’s a power tip: Planning a trip to Iceland? Here’s a power tip: Icelandic sockets use Type C or Type F plugs ⚡️ The easy way to spot them? They’ve got two round prongs. Type F has an extra couple of clips on the side. One more thing - Iceland operates on 230 volts. So if you’re jetting in from North America or other non-European countries, remember to pack a travel adapter. Ever experienced an unexpected travel hiccup?

If your travel plans stop in the South, you’re b If your travel plans stop in the South, you’re barely scratching the surface of what’s to be discovered in this beautiful country. In the Highlands, the mountains are taller, the terrain more rugged, and the adventures never seem to end. SWIPE 👉🏼 to get the deets on five of my all-time favorite Highland gems! But something to know about the the Highlands? This part of Iceland is also the hardest to plan for. Being completely uninhabited means there aren’t many places for fuel and accommodation. Plus, F-roads and river crossings make driving complicated. That’s why I created my Iceland Highlands Map + Guide: It’s a $25 digital resource packed with everything you need to explore this wild, beautiful region with confidence! ✅ Must-see stops + hiking trails ✅ Fuel + food logistics ✅ Road access + travel tips ✅ Firsthand recs from years of exploring If the Highlands are on your bucket list this summer, this guide is your starting point. 👇🏼 Comment “HIGHLANDS” and I’ll send you the link to check it out! . . . . . #icelandadventure #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceland #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #absoluteiceland #highlands
