Iceland with a View
You asked me what midnight looks like in Iceland in summer…So I filmed it 😎
The time lapse, the blackout curtain situation, the sleep mask I actually use, the trick some visitors use to skip the crowds entirely... it's all in today's video.
If you're coming to Iceland between May and July, this is a must watch!

Most want to get into geothermal water in Iceland.
Some pick a lagoon for the wrong reason.
Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon are NOT interchangeable.
And for some travelers, picking the wrong one can mean spending over $100 per person on an experience that leaves them underwhelmed.

Most people pack for Iceland based on temperature.
That’s the mistake 🙆🏼♀️
You’re not packing for “cold.”
You’re packing for wind, rain, sideways rain, and weather swings that can make you miserable in 20 minutes.
I see travelers bring giant puffy coats, cotton layers, and sneakers every single day here.
Then they spend the trip cold, wet, overdressed, underdressed, or buying emergency gear they didn’t budget for.
There’s a better way to do this.👇🏼
I broke down the exact layering system I use in Iceland, what actually matters, and what you can stop wasting suitcase space on.

Travelers are still paying $10–15 PER DAY just to use their phones abroad 😱
Or renting pocket WiFi devices they have to charge, carry around, and return later.
Meanwhile an eSIM lets you:
✔ set up data before your trip
✔ connect as soon as you land
✔ use maps, weather, road conditions, etc.
✔ avoid surprise roaming charges
And an entire WEEK costs less than ONE day of international roaming‼️
I just posted a simple setup walkthrough because this is THE easiest way to stay connected here, and a lot of travelers still don’t realize it.

A brand new hot spring just opened on the Golden Circle and nobody is talking about it 👀
A spacious lagoon.
TWO swim-up bars.
A WATERFALL that you can walk through!
And a restaurant run by one of Iceland’s most famous chefs.
I’ve been to all of Iceland’s lagoons and this one exceeded my expectations 👌🏼
If you’re planning an Iceland trip and trying to decide WHICH lagoon is actually worth your time and money, watch this before you book anything ➡️
