Nobody does winter quite like Iceland 💁‍♀️ The scenery is simply ✨magical ✨ Think landscapes blanketed in snow and stunning sunsets that steal the breath right out of your lungs! There are SO many ways to make the most of this gorgeous season, but here are a few of my all-time faves 👇🏼 🔮 Northern Lights: With longer nights, winter is your best chance to witness the breathtaking Aurora Borealis. Head to Reykjanes Peninsula, Þingvellir National Park, or Heiðmörk near Reykjavík for clear, dark skies. 🧊 Ice Cave Adventures: Discover the stunning blue ice caves of Katla, safely guided by experts. Pair it with a visit to the dramatic Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. 🏔️ Glacier Hikes and Frozen Waterfalls: Experience the thrill of hiking on Sólheimajökull and marvel at Iceland’s icy landscapes. 🛀 Soak in Geothermal Pools: After your adventures, relax in warm, steamy geothermal pools like the famous Blue Lagoon, surrounded by icy mountain views. 🗻 ☕️ Experience Reykjavík’s Cafe Culture: There’s nothing like heading to a cozy cafe on a chilly day in Reykjavík. Sip on rich Icelandic coffee, indulge in local pastries, and get lost in a good book or your travel journal ✨ SAVE this post if you’re planning a winter Iceland adventure!

Think last names are passed down through generatio Think last names are passed down through generations? Not in Iceland. SWIPE to find out why! 🇮🇸 Iceland does names DIFFERENTLY.

Ever seen a photo of Iceland that made your heart Ever seen a photo of Iceland that made your heart stop? 💚 That was me in 2014, planning my honeymoon and completely overwhelmed by this otherworldly place. In fact, when I arrived, I fell so hard that I literally sold everything to move there…Because Iceland’s magic grabbed me and wouldn’t let go! After nearly a decade of chasing waterfalls and finding secret hot springs that don’t show up on tourist maps 😌, I’ve mapped hundreds of hidden spots that gave me that same heart-stopping feeling. The kind that make you pull over on the side of the road and just stare in awe. I made this map because I want you to feel that magic too - without the stress and endless research I went through. And even better? It has 500+ 5-star reviews from fellow travelers who used it to plan their dream Iceland adventure 🗺️ Ready to experience Iceland through the eyes of a local? ✨ Comment “MAPS” below for details on how to get your copy! 👇 . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
Pro tip for staying safe (and respectful) in Icela Pro tip for staying safe (and respectful) in Iceland 👉🏼 Closed means CLOSED! 🚫 It’s sooo important to respect closed areas and warnings! You’ll often come across chains, ropes, or signs marking off-limits areas. While it may seem tempting to step over them, these are in place for YOUR safety. Iceland’s beauty is breathtaking…but it’s also fragile. Trespassing doesn’t just put you at risk - it also damages Iceland’s delicate natural ecosystem. So don’t be that tourist that ignores the warnings just to sneak a photo op. Obey the signs, protect yourself and respect the environment! Double tap if, just like me - you’re all about that responsible tourism ✌️ . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
