The wrong rental car can wreck your Highlands adve The wrong rental car can wreck your Highlands adventure. Here’s why.👇🏼 Iceland’s Highlands aren’t your average road trip. You’re heading into remote, rugged country — think gravel roads, steep climbs, and stretches with no cell service. And every summer, I hear the same story: someone rents a tiny car to save money… and ends up stuck, stranded, or facing a huge repair bill. 😬 If you’re heading into the Highlands, you NEED a proper 4x4 — with insurance that actually covers Iceland’s unique conditions (like gravel, wind, and underbody damage). This isn’t to scare you, and honestly, you’ll probably be A-OK! But it’s always better to be prepared — because you never know what Iceland might throw your way. 👉🏼 That’s why I always recommend Blue Car Rental. Their pricing includes way more coverage than most companies, plus they’re a local Icelandic business that knows these roads like the back of their hand. When you choose them, you’ll get: ✅ Gravel protection + wind protection ✅ 24/7 roadside assistance ✅ Optional liability waiver for extra peace of mind Want my discount code for your trip?

Think you know how to drive in Iceland? Think agai Think you know how to drive in Iceland? Think again. 😅🇮🇸 Between sheep traffic jams, wind so strong it could rip your car door open, and lonely gas stations… road tripping here comes with a few surprises. And while driving in Iceland is one of the BEST ways to see the country — it’s also where travelers make some of their biggest (and most expensive) mistakes. That’s why having the right rental car and proper coverage matters way more than you think! I always go with Blue Car Rental. 🚙 They’re a local company, so they get Iceland’s quirks, and their insurance actually includes stuff most other companies skip (like gravel + wind damage).

Planning a trip to Iceland? Here’s the thing no Planning a trip to Iceland? Here’s the thing no one tells you: the smallest planning mistakes can seriously impact your experience. 🌨️ Not checking the weather properly? You could end up driving straight into a storm. ⏰ Waiting too long to book hotels? Say hello to sky-high prices and zero options — especially in those charming small towns. 👉🏼 And cramming too much into your itinerary? That’s a fast track to burnout instead of enjoying those once-in-a-lifetime views. I see travelers make these mistakes all the time…but you don’t have to. I put together a full guide breaking down the top planning mistakes (and how to avoid them) — so you can stress less and ACTUALLY enjoy your trip. 🙌 🔗 Link in bio to read it! ✨ What’s been stressing you out most about planning your Iceland trip?

I don’t mean to toot my own horn but…🎺🎺 I don’t mean to toot my own horn but…🎺🎺 I really do have the best Iceland Maps on the internet. 💁‍♀️ Not just pretty maps — but PRACTICAL ones.  Because here’s the truth: Most guidebooks are written by people who visited Iceland once or twice, took a few notes, and moved on. Or worse… they just pin pretty spots on a map without telling you the important deets on how to actually experience them. 🤷🏼‍♀️ My maps are built from years of exploring Iceland’s roads — driving every fjord, hiking to the hidden gems, figuring out which stops are worth your time (and which ones aren’t). You’ll know exactly where to go, how long to stay, and even where to stop for gas or a bathroom break — you know, the *real-life stuff* most guides skip. Inside my Iceland Maps + Guidebooks, you’ll get: ✅ Hidden gems most tourists miss ✅ Local-approved restaurants + accommodations ✅ Rest stops, gas stations, and practical tips ✅ BONUS: packing guides, discounts, and even a road trip playlist 🎶 Want to skip the hours of research — and avoid those cookie-cutter guides? Comment “MAPS” and I’ll send you the link 👇🏼 . . . . . #wheniniceland #icelandtrip #islandia #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #guidetoiceland #icelandroadtrip
If you’re visiting Iceland around Easter… don’t skip the chocolate aisle! 🍫 Icelandic Easter eggs are next level — we’re talking massive chocolate shells stuffed with candy and (sometimes) a little proverb or saying tucked inside. Every local has their favorite — from classic milk chocolate to versions packed with licorice (yes, it’s a thing here!). Pro tip: The bigger the egg, the more candy inside. And trust me, some of these eggs are the size of your head!! 😂 Would you play it safe with milk or dark chocolate… or go full Icelandic and grab the licorice one? Tell me in the comments. 👇🏼 . . . . . #easter #easteriniceland #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
💸 Want to save money and avoid costly mistakes 💸 Want to save money and avoid costly mistakes on your Iceland trip? Comment MAPS and I’ll send you my favorite resource 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 The thing about Iceland is… it’s easy to accidentally overspend — simply because you don’t know what you don’t know. ➡️ Book the wrong rental car? You could pay hundreds for something you didn’t even need. ➡️ Miss the booking window on accommodations? Get ready for sky-high prices or driving hours out of your way. ➡️ Stop at the wrong restaurant or shop? Overpay for basics you could’ve easily planned for. That’s exactly why I created my Iceland Maps + Guidebooks — to help travelers avoid expensive pitfalls BEFORE they happen. Inside, you’ll find less-obvious gems that most tourists miss (and don’t cost a dime), plus all the practical stops mapped out — gas stations, grocery stores, even restrooms — so you’re never scrambling. I also share my favorite local spots for food and attractions (no overpriced tourist traps!) and give you exclusive discounts that help pay for the guide itself. Because knowing where to go is what turns a stressful, expensive trip… into the adventure of a lifetime. 💚 Ready to explore smarter and save along the way?

I used to think being “rich” meant material th I used to think being “rich” meant material things — a big house, a packed closet, checking off the next milestone. But then we visited Iceland on our honeymoon… and everything changed. 💫 We were so moved by this place that we sold everything we owned, traded comfort for adventure, and made Iceland our home.  Now, rich means something completely different to me. It means mountain views and camping trips with my family. 🏕️ It means bumpy roads and belly laughs, slow breakfasts, and that look in my kids’ eyes when they spot a puffin. And that kind of wealth? You can’t buy it. 🇮🇸 If you’d choose adventure > stuff for you too… drop a 💚 in the comments and let’s be friends!! . . . . . #icelandadventure #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
