Traveling the ringroad of Iceland
Iceland, a land of stunning landscapes, dramatic volcanoes, and otherworldly beauty, should be a top destination for travelers seeking unique experiences in nature. I've had the privilege of helping countless adventurers plan their Icelandic journeys.
When visiting Iceland here are some must sees and top things to do: Make sure to explore Reykjavik. Your Icelandic adventure often begins in the capital city of Reykjavik. While it may be small compared to other European capitals, Reykjavik has a vibrant cultural scene and charming streets filled with colorful houses. Don't miss visiting iconic landmarks like the Hallgrímskirkja Church and the Sun Voyager sculpture. Spend time exploring the city's museums, enjoy local cuisine, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of its cafes and shops.
Iceland is one of the best places on Earth to witness the magical Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). To increase your chances of seeing this natural wonder, visit during the winter months, especially from September to March. Head to remote areas with little light pollution, such as Thingvellir National Park or the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, for the best viewing opportunities.
A trip to Iceland wouldn't be complete without a visit to the world-famous Blue Lagoon. This geothermal spa's milky-blue waters are not only relaxing but also beneficial for your skin, thanks to their high mineral content. You definitely want to purchase tickets in advance as this popular attraction often sells out.
Another popular place to visit in Iceland is The Golden Circle. The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route that includes three must-see attractions: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall. Thingvellir is not only geologically significant but also historically as the site of Iceland's first parliament. Witness the eruptive power of Strokkur geyser in the Geysir Geothermal Area and marvel at the stunning Gullfoss Waterfall, which tumbles into a dramatic canyon.
If you have time on visit to Iceland, a drive out to the Black Sand Beaches is highly recommended by me your travel advsior. Iceland boasts some of the most unique beaches in the world, with black volcanic sands contrasting with the crashing waves. Reynisfjara Beach near Vik is a must-visit, known for its towering basalt columns and impressive sea stacks. However, you must be cautious of the powerful Atlantic currents and heed safety warnings.
Iceland offers numerous adventure activities like snowmobiling on glaciers, scuba diving in Silfra Fissure, and exploring lava caves. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or seeking a new experience, Iceland has something for everyone. A must try experience while in Iceland is Glacier Hiking. Iceland is home to numerous glaciers, and glacier hiking is an exhilarating way to experience their beauty up close. Popular glacier hiking spots include Vatnajokull National Park and the Solheimajokull Glacier, where you can explore ice caves and crevasses guided by experienced professionals. Iceland is a waterfall lover's paradise. In addition to Gullfoss, you must visit Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, both easily accessible from the Ring Road. Seljalandsfoss even allows you to walk behind the cascading water for a unique perspective.
If you are looking to travel the entire island during your visit make sure to explore the Fjords of East Iceland. For a quieter and more remote experience, venture into East Iceland's scenic fjords. Discover charming fishing villages, stunning fjord landscapes, and opportunities for hiking and wildlife watching. Seydisfjordur, with its colorful houses and art scene, is a hidden gem worth exploring.
The local culture of Iceland makes this destination so unique. Embrace it by attending local festivals, such as the Viking Festival in Hafnarfjordur, or by indulging in traditional dishes like lamb stew and skyr (a dairy product similar to yogurt). Don't forget to sip on some Brennivín, Iceland's signature schnapps!
Iceland is a land of unparalleled natural beauty and adventure. From the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik to the remote fjords of the east, this country offers a wide range of experiences for every traveler. By exploring these must-sees and must-dos in Iceland, you'll create lasting memories and gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of this extraordinary destination. So, pack your bags, grab your camera, and lets start planning your Icelandic adventure of a lifetime!

Dream Trip to London and Paris
This most recent trip to London and Paris was the first time my husband and I had ventured across the pond. We stayed at the Rubens at the Palace in London and it is the quintessential London experience. It is right next to Buckingham Palace and St. James' Park and is absolutely gorgeous.
In Paris, we stayed at the Hilton Paris Opera and WOW it is a stunning hotel. It is also conveniently located next to the train station so we were able to easily hop onto the train to Versailles!
We are so thankful to have Stacie to help us make the most out of our vacations. She gives the most incredible recommendations for activities and dining, and she ensures we have a stress-free experience!
Stacie was exceptional

Thanksgiving was a bit different for us this year! We escaped to Jamaica for a few days and it was absolutely perfect! This was our kids first time out of the country and watching them experience a new culture was so fun! I didn’t take near enough pics but I suppose that’s just a sign of a good time?! 😜 So thankful for getting to travel and spend time together with my little fam!
