Time: Full Day Cost: About $50 in gas Tip: Stop wherever you see people gathering, and watch out for trolls. After downing a few Icelandic brews with a couple friendly, freakishly-attractive Icelandic dudes in Reykjavik, I had the genius idea of asking them where I should go on my last day in Iceland that not many people know about. They immediately started throwing...
South Coast (of Iceland) Best Coast! No but seriously, the South Coast of Iceland is where all of the best waterfalls are, plus Black Sand Beaches! You’ll find the most popular waterfalls; Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss here, as well as Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach! Plus if you’re up for it, you can keep going further to the Southeast coast and see...
Heading to Iceland? The Southeast Coast of Iceland is a bit farther than the normal Iceland itineraries, but it’s SO WORTH IT, especially if you want to see Jökulsárlon glacier lagoon! If you’re worried about the distance, just keep in mind that not only did I do this roadtrip in a day (from and to Keflavik), but I also went straight from a red-eye flight...
Scariest part of my Iceland trip was venturing inside Rauðfeldar Canyon...a troll grave waterfall/ice cave with dead birds & a sunglass stealing troll.
by Alyssa Ramos I am convinced that everything in Iceland is magical, and that absolutely includes the pure bred Icelandic horses that you’ll see all throughout the country. As a huge horse fan, and female in general, I was instantly enchanted when I saw the various colored horses with long, wild manes almost everywhere I looked as I drove along the single-lane...
by Alyssa Ramos Iceland is probably the best place in the World to film movies because it looks like something you’d see straight out of one. Some say it looks like the end of the World, other’s say it looks like it’s from another world, I say it’s freaking magical and awesome, and made me feel like I was in Walter Mitty the entire time I was...
by Alyssa Ramos Reykjavik was honestly the last place I wanted to stay during my trip to Iceland, which is why I decided to stay in a small town that was void of any crowds or late night parties. The experience I was seeking in Iceland was all about adventures, the road less traveled, and pushing my own limits, none of which I would have accomplished by staying in...
Olaf and I trekked around Iceland in search of his "Frozen" home, and found a bunch of massive glaciers atop volcanos, and glacier lagoons!
There seriously couldn't be a better place to travel solo than Iceland! It's like a natural amusement park with no rules except respecting the nature (and elves)!
Did you know you can go snorkeling in between 2 continents in Iceland, in the clearest water you'll ever see in your life? Check out the Silfra fissure in Thingvellir!
