Something BIG is happening behind the scenes at Ic

Something BIG is happening behind the scenes at Iceland with a View 👀🇮🇸

For the past few months, I’ve been rebuilding my entire system of travel planning guides + maps.

Not because anything is wrong with them (these are the same beloved resources with hundreds of 5-star reviews) but because in 2026, we are simplifying.

Planning Iceland can get complicated fast, but my mission has always been to make it EASIER.

That means these guides + maps are retiring to make room for a more streamlined, all in one way to plan your Iceland trip.

So it’s out with the old, and in with the new. 🔄

🗓️ These retiring guides and maps are 20% off now through February 14, when the old shop closes and the new one launches.

If you’ve been eyeing one of these guides or maps and want to grab it at a discount, this is your chance.

Icelandic hot springs = nature’s medicine 💚

You could be having the worst day…

Stressed.

Exhausted.

Or carrying tension in places you didn’t even know existed.

And the moment you step into geothermal water…

✨ Pure bliss ✨

The heat wraps around you, the silica in the water smooths your skin, and the sulfur works on your sore muscles and inflammation.

Your whole system finally gets the signal to let go.

There’s a reason Icelanders have been soaking in geothermal springs for centuries.

It’s the best therapy around!

Who else is seriously needing some of this water in their life? 🙋‍♀️

Some call it extra, I call it ✨ smart ✨

Because sure… going with the flow *sounds* fun.

But like… when does the flow START?

Asking for a friend. (It’s me. I’m the friend.)

Sure, you might call it type-A.

But I’ve lived in Iceland long enough to know that “winging it” here usually means missing the best stops, getting caught in bad weather with no backup, or realizing too late that you needed a reservation.

So yeah, I plan. A lot.

Like… daily-route-mapped, Google-pinned, “I have a backup plan if the backup plan falls through” a lot.

And what started as me planning my own trips turned into a whole collection of itineraries that thousands of travelers now swear by.

If you’re the kind of person who sleeps better knowing there’s a plan, I made these for you.

Each itinerary includes:
👉🏼 A fully mapped daily route (with realistic drive times)
👉🏼 Google Maps with saved locations + so you can navigate on the go
👉🏼 Local-approved recs for where to stay, what to eat + what tours to take
👉🏼 Practical info on everything from parking to restrooms to where to fuel up

And that just scratches the surface.

Think of it as your no-stress shortcut to doing Iceland right.

Iceland in winter is PACKED with bucket-list moments! The kind you’ll remember forever ❄️

Imagine soaking in a steamy hot spring while the Northern Lights dance above you…

Or snowmobiling across a glacier with the wind in your hair…

Or wandering through shimmering blue ice caves formed over thousands of years…

I mean, talk about pure magic. 😍

If you’ve been dreaming about a winter adventure in Iceland, this is your sign to make it happen.

Save this list and send it to the travel buddy you’d go on a winter adventure with! 💚

This summer’s forecast: 100% chance of things being booked out ☀️😅

Let’s just say Iceland in high season is *not* the time to be chill about bookings.

By the time you land, the best hotels are full, the car you wanted is long gone, and that glacier tour you’d saved is fully booked.

If “we’ll figure it out when we later” is your current plan… consider this your friendly nudge to rethink that.

And hey, if you’ve been procrastinating booking things because you’re not sure where to go, how long to stay, or what’s actually worth it…you’re not the only one.

That’s exactly why I created my Iceland Itineraries.

They come with:
👉🏼 A perfectly optimized route that’s already mapped and ready to go
👉🏼 Google Maps with saved pins so you always know where you’re headed
👉🏼 Suggestions for where to stay, which tours to book, and booking your rental car
👉🏼 Local-approved places to eat and stop along the way
👉🏼 Realistic pacing so you’re not rushed or backtracking all day

So you can stop guessing, and finally start locking things in. 👏🏼

You’ve got Skógafoss, Reynisfjara, and Jökulsárlön

You’ve got Skógafoss, Reynisfjara, and Jökulsárlön on your itinerary.
But what about the quietly beautiful stops most travelers never find?

✨ The secret lagoons where you can enjoy a peaceful soak (without 100 other people)
✨ The smaller waterfalls that end up being your favorite moments from the trip
✨ The charming little cafés where the locals gather + the cinnamon buns are always fresh

Most people drive right past them without even knowing they’re there, and it lowkey breaks my heart when people miss out on this side of Iceland! 🥹

That’s the whole reason I created my Iceland Guidebooks + Maps. I wanted travelers to experience Iceland the way I do - not just the famous spots, but the tucked-away gems that make you feel like you’ve discovered something truly special.

My maps have over 500 locations pinned. From local-approved restaurants to those hidden gems that are absolutely worth the detour, these are the types of stops that turn a good Iceland trip into an unforgettable one. 🙌🏼

Living in Iceland for over a decade has completely

Living in Iceland for over a decade has completely rewired what feels “normal” to me.

And every time I go back to the U.S., there are these little reverse culture shocks that catch me off guard...things I didn’t even think twice about before moving here.

Some things I’m super happy about (like having tap water that tastes DELICIOUS!)

Others, I kinda miss (looking at you, $4.99 wine that’s actually half-decent 👀)

Have you been to Iceland and noticed things that felt totally different from the U.S.? Let me know what your biggest culture shock was! 👇🏼
