⁣5 things I'm happy I packed for Iceland... and one thing I forgot 🤦🏼‍♀️⠀
⠀
🇮🇸Waterproof everything! Jacket, hiking boots, but especially my pants. I brought the @columbia1938 storm surge pants and they perfectly slid over my leggings and jeans!⠀
🇮🇸Hot hands! These little air activated packets of warmth helped keep me going even on the chilliest hikes. They also have toe warmers.⠀
🇮🇸Eye mask! Helped me sleep in at the glass lodge. These are a must for summer when there is the midnight sun.⠀
🇮🇸My drone! Iceland is pretty drone friendly and it was such an epic place to fly.⠀
🇮🇸Tissues! There were a few remote bathrooms/porta-potties that were poorly stocked and this got me through.⠀
⠀
🤦🏼‍♀️ And what I forgot - a bathing suit!! Ugh! There are so many hot springs and pools and I unfortunately forgot this key item when I was packing. I ending up buying one when I was there and it was not cheap.⠀
⠀
Have you been to Iceland? What are you glad you packed?⠀

⁣Summer vs. Winter in Iceland - Which is better?

⁣Summer vs. Winter in Iceland - Which is better?⠀
⠀
I once heard Iceland described as two different countries depending on the time of year you visit. Which appeals to you more - Summer or Winter Iceland? ⠀
⠀
☀Summer Pros⠀
-Lots of daylight hours to explore⠀
-Open roads and better driving conditions⠀
-Milder weather - averages in the 50/60's but it can get warmer ⠀
-It's green and there are wildflowers⠀
-Puffin season!⠀
⠀
🥵Summer Cons⠀
-Popular time to visit so there are more people⠀
-No Northern Lights ⠀
-High season = higher prices⠀
⠀
❄Winter Pros⠀
-Chance to see the Northern Lights⠀
-Snow and ice covered waterfalls are pretty⠀
-Fewer crowds and lower prices⠀
-Thermal pools just hit different in the cold⠀
⠀
🥶Winter Cons⠀
-Cold weather⠀
-Not much daylight so you may not get to see as much⠀
-Some roads and hiking trails could be closed⠀

Iceland has done a fabulous job of making it easy for tourists to find critical information when visiting. Here are the websites I was constantly checking:⠀
🇮🇸SaveTravel.is - You should check this website everyday for weather and road conditions as well as any safety alerts.⠀
🇮🇸Road.is - More road conditions and closures as well as webcams.⠀
🇮🇸Weather.is - Forecasts and real time conditions broken down by region, I found this to be more accurate than those huge weather websites. It also has an aurora forecast.⠀
🇮🇸Vedur.is - Even more weather information but this site has earthquake and avalanche information and tracks harmful volcanic gas.⠀
🇮🇸VisitReykjanes.is - This regional website has all the information if you are planning on going to see the erupting volcano including hiking maps, parking locations, what's open, and a webcam so you can see if the volcano is active.⠀
🇮🇸AuroraForecast.is - Everything you need to know about where to find the aurora in Iceland.⠀
🇮🇸Travel.Covid.is - This is where you will fill out your preregistration to enter Iceland as well as book your test to come back to the US.⠀
⠀
Iceland is a place where your plans need to stay flexible and these websites help you accomplish that, giving you the information you need to plan not just your trip but your day.⠀

⁣I don't even have words to describe this trip to Iceland. I was so nervous that it wasn't going to happen and now that it's over I'm grateful for every moment.⠀

⁣Is adventure in your travel plans?⠀
⠀
One of the things that I love about travel is getting out of my comfort zone and nothing helps me do that more than finding an adventerous activity.⠀
⠀
Paragliding in Switzerland? Let's do it!⠀
Seven mile hike through Arizona? Hand me my boots!⠀
Scuba diving with whale sharks? Dust off my PADI card!⠀
⠀
What's been a fun adventure activity you've done while traveling?⠀
⠀
My recent visit to Florida included a kayak tour with @tarponbayexplorers through the Commodore Creek Kayak Trail. ⠀
⠀
📸@readysetjetset - Thanks for capturing the kayak shot of my dreams!!⠀

⁣Just give me a hammock between two palm trees 🌴🌴⠀
⠀
A trip to @ftmyerssanibel was the perfect way to end the summer! Did you make it out to a beach this summer? Where did you go?⠀

⁣On my stories I'm in Florida but I'm actually on a different continent! 🤭⠀
⠀
Here is why I don't post in real time:⠀
1. SAFETY - First and foremost it's not the best idea to post exactly where I am and what I'm doing especially when I'm traveling solo. The world can be dangerous place and I try my best to eliminate the risks I am in control of and this is one of them.⠀
2. IN THE MOMENT - I get to take all my photos and videos and then put the phone and camera away. I don't have to immediately edit or try and upload anything.⠀
3. STORYTELLING - Once I'm done with my trip or moved on to the next part I get to look through all my content and pick the things that are worth sharing in a way that is cohesive and coherent.⠀
⠀
One downside is that I usually get some of the best recommendations from y'all in my DMs and I unfortunately I have to file them away for later.⠀
⠀
Did you know that I post my travel stories on a delay? Do you think this is a good thing to do?⠀
