155: Exploring Iceland: Tips, Tales, and Travel Insights

I am doing something a little bit different for this episode and am sharing all of the exciting details of my recent trip - two weeks exploring the stunning landscapes of Iceland! From the moment that we arrived, Iceland offered us both breathtaking beauty and unexpected challenges, and I am here to share it all with you: the highs, the lows, and everything in between, including the learning curve that we faced with the Icelandic climate!

We kicked off our adventure during the Icelandic summer, a time marked by the fascinating phenomenon of the midnight sun. With nearly 24 hours of daylight, we journeyed along the famous Golden Circle, uncovering Iceland's natural wonders such as geysers and waterfalls. The weather was brutal at times, with relentless winds and rain, but I share some advice about what we learned, including but not limited to some packing tips that could help you in the long run.

I also dive into answering the many questions that you have sent in. Why did we choose Iceland? How did we cope with the harsh weather? What activities should be on your must-do list? From hiking the dramatic landscapes to soaking in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon and venturing inside a dormant volcano, listen in for the inside scoop on what made this trip truly special!

Everything was so ethereal. All of the wildflowers were soft and whimsical and just so incredibly delicate.

 Discussed in this episode:

1. How my family and I spent over two weeks in Iceland, facing unexpectedly harsh weather but ultimately creating lasting family memories
2. Why the unpredictable weather in Iceland requires proper gear, such as waterproof clothing and footwear
3. Iceland is a highly plant-based-friendly destination, offering numerous vegan options, especially in Reykjavik!
