What is the weather like? What are the road conditions?

This itinerary perfects the timing of each day. Research still needs to be done to understand Icelandic weather, driving rules, etc. All of this information can be found in my guidebooks.

This summer, I started spending a couple of hours This summer, I started spending a couple of hours each Sunday hiking solo.It became a ritual I looked forward to ALL week.And after spending so much of the last six years being in mom mode, it felt really good to have some time that was completely mine.There’s something about being out in the Icelandic wilderness that finally lets my brain get quiet, especially when no one’s asking me for a snack or needing help going potty. 😂And somewhere during those Sunday hikes, I started thinking about a goal I’d been putting off for almost 10 years.Hiking the Laugavegur Trail.Do I feel ready for it? Absolutely not.Is that stopping me? Apparently not, because I’m officially going with @vikingwomentours next summer. So there’s no backing out now! 😅I have a LOT of work to do between now and then, but honestly, I think having something this big to work toward is exactly what I need.Follow along as I train for Laugavegur and get a little more of my pink back along the way!!#islandia #icelandplanning  #icelandexplored #icelandadventure
Nothing will humble you quite like learning Icelan Nothing will humble you quite like learning Icelandic. 😅After 11 years, this language STILL makes my brain hurt.But I’m not giving up.And I will forever be grateful for how much grace the people here have given me.So to every Icelander who has patiently listened, gently corrected me, or switched to English when my brain stopped cooperating...Takk fyrir. 🧡I promise I’m still trying!#reykjaviklife #iceland #islandia
If planning a trip means 37 open tabs, a color-cod If planning a trip means 37 open tabs, a color-coded spreadsheet, and knowing EXACTLY where you’re stopping each day…I’m think we’re gonna be friends 🫶🏼Hi, I’m Jeannie, an American who moved to Iceland over 10 years ago and turned her love of planning into an entire business helping people plan their trips.And if you’re someone who wants ALL the details before you arrive, I made something very much with you in mind.As the Monica of your group, I *know* you want more than just a list of places to see.You want to know what the weather will be like that month, what the heck you’re supposed to pack, and all those little details your Type-A brain is already making a checklist for. 😂These are the kind of things I cover in my Iceland Travel Map & Guidebook - The Ultimate Simplified Planning System for Iceland.The nearly 200-page Guidebook is where you can actually BUILD your trip. It breaks Iceland down region by region, with detailed pages on what to see and do so you can figure out where you want to go and start putting together a rock-solid itinerary.And then there’s the map. 😍It has than 1,500 pins across Iceland, from big-name sights to local gems. Plus all the practical stops too, so when you need gas or somewhere to grab lunch on the road, you already know where to look.Basically, if “we’ll just figure it out when we get there” makes you break out in a cold sweat...this planning system was made for you.Comment “ICELANDMAP” if you want to see what it’s all about and I’ll send the details your way!#reykjaviklife #icelandplanning  #icelandadvice  #guidetoiceland 
One of the biggest mistakes you can make on an off One of the biggest mistakes you can make on an off-season Iceland campervan trip?Assuming you’ll just figure out where to camp as you go. 😬Many campsites close after summer, so you’ll definitely want to know your options BEFORE you hit the road.Happy Campers has a map showing which campsites stay open year-round and which stay open for at least part of the fall and spring.I recommend bookmarking while you plan!And if you’re still figuring out your campervan company, I could not recommend Happy Campers enough.They’re who we use EVERY time we do a camping trip in Iceland, and we recommend them to anyone who visits.If you wanna check them out and save, I’ve got a discount for you!Just comment “HAPPYVAN” and I’ll send my 10% off code your way :)#reykjaviklife #icelandplanning  #icelandadvice  #guidetoiceland 
I never considered myself a pastry person… Until I I never considered myself a pastry person…
Until I moved to Iceland.And then everything changed. 😅Coming from the US, I’m used to every baked good being insanely sweet and covered in 1374 pounds of glaze.In Iceland, the flavors are more subtle.Picture the freshest, flakiest dough and just enough sweetness to feel like a treat…instead of feeling like you’ve given yourself a cavity by bite three. 😂If that sounds more your speed, try a kleina while you’re here! It’s a twisted, fried pastry that’s only slightly sweet and pairs really nicely with coffee. So consider this your warning that if you weren’t a big pastry person before, Iceland WILL convert you.And if you already love them, well, maybe pack your stretchy pants!! 😉#reykjaviklife #icelandplanning  #icelandadvice  #guidetoiceland
