Iceland Travel Agent Specialist
Widely known as the "land of fire and ice", after four trips to this breathtaking island country Iceland has also become known as one of my favorite countries in the world.
Home to some of Europe's largest glaciers and several of the world's most active volcano's, Iceland is a land of contrasts that create some of the most stunningly beautiful landscapes on the planet.
As a travel agent with extensive experience in Iceland, I'm ready to plan the adventure you dream of. From winters of rare sunlight and dancing aurora's to summers of midnight sun and whale watching, Iceland is a year round destination that offers a little something for everyone. In addition to its other worldly landscapes, Iceland offers widely spoken English, extremely friendly locals, great food, and so much more.
The artsy and walkable capital city of Reykjavik often serves as the starting point for an Iceland adventure. This coastal city is known for it's eclectic street art, music and nightlife, colorful homes, and friendliness. Walk up and down the main street, Laugavegur, exploring the many shops and restaurants. At the top of the street, visit the famous Hallgrimskirkja Church for some of the most stunning views of the city. After hunting for cool street art, visit the waterfront to witness other artistic wonders such as the Sun Voyager Sculpture and the famous entertainment venue, Harpa Concert Hall.
Just outside the city lies so much adventure. Let me help you make plans to visit the world famous Blue Lagoon to soak in the hot springs while treating yourself to a Silica mud facial and enjoying a beverage from the lagoon bar. Maybe elf school is more your thing? Or are you a Game of Thrones fan ready to relive some highlights and see the real life backdrops? These are all options I can work in to your itinerary as your travel agent.
Whether you prefer to self drive or take day trips by bus from Reykjavik, the exploration options are endless. From the geysirs, horses and waterfalls of the Golden Circle...to the black sand beaches and glaciers of South Iceland...to active volcano hikes on the Reykjanes Penninsula, I can plan an adventure itinerary that hits all the top sites.
Have the time and sense of adventure to drive the full Ring Road and see every coastal region of the country? I have the expertise and connections to make sure you have a trustworthy car rental, detailed itinerary, and on the ground support to do it safely while catching every hot spot...and the hidden ones too!
Take a moment and envision yourself soaking in hot springs, photographing the aurora's, watching the lava flow from an active volcano, petting wild Icelandic horses, or walking behind waterfalls and on glaciers...and then reach out and let me bring it to life for you!
