A week in Iceland

October 23, 2018.Reading time 41 minutes.

Going to Iceland had been a dream of mine for many years, so we decided at the beginning of 2018 to make it happen! We knew we wanted to do the Ring Road self-drive trip and opted to go toward the end of September as it is the end of the peak season (fewer tourists!) yet […]

I am not a huge risk taker…Well apart from moving abroad to the unknown a few times and leaving my job to become a freelancer and make it on my own… Ok, let me rephrase: I am not a big risk taker when it comes to small everyday life commitments. I cook the recipes I […]

A glacier hike is one of the must-dos when travelling to Iceland. Not often do you have the chance to come close to a thousand years old giant ice cube. So, of course, Andrew and I booked a tour and I thought I would share the experience with you as sharing is caring and information […]

Another day and another Reykjavik food market post – who knew this city had so many? We started our trip at Hlemmur Mathöll and finished it with dinner on our last night at Grandi Mathöll.

Hlemmur Mathöll – Reykjavik, Iceland

October 7, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

On our first night in Reykjavik, having made no food-related plans, we asked the front desk lady at our hotel for some recommendations. Eateries in Reykjavik can get busy (it was a Saturday evening) and EXPENSIVE. Actually eating out anywhere in Iceland is not cheap, so we were curious to see what a local would […]

We landed back from Iceland yesterday and already I am writing my first post! Iceland was everything we thought it would be and more, much, much more! We ticked every item I had on my list, but came the second to last night and we still had not seen one item I had purposely kept […]
