I fell in love with Iceland during my first visit in 2012, and I'm sure you will, too! Whether you're looking to relax in the hot springs, embark on a multiday trek, or dive into the rich Viking history, I'll create the perfect itinerary tailored just for you. I'm passionate about crafting journeys that go beyond the typical tourist experience.

Whether you're seeking adventure in Iceland's rugged landscapes, immersing yourself in local traditions, or simply enjoying the serene beauty of the countryside, I'm here to design an itinerary that perfectly matches your interests. Travel should be personal and transformative, which is why I focus on creating meaningful experiences that allow you to connect deeply with both the land and its people. My goal is to help you discover Iceland in a way that feels uniquely yours while also supporting the preservation of this incredible destination.

How did you get involved in travel?

"I spent several years living in Iceland, traveling across the country and immersing myself in its beauty. I've enjoyed discovering the vibrant culture and cuisine of Reykjavík and escaping to the stunning landscapes beyond the city. With a deep love for nature, hiking, and waterfalls, I'm eager to share my passion for this incredible country with fellow independent travelers."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"A friend invited me to visit his family's hometown, a charming fishing village nestled in northern Iceland. That evening, we headed to the local pub, a cozy spot filled with Icelanders. As we settled in and sipped on our cold Einstök beers, a song started blaring from the speakers. To my surprise, everyone in the pub—except for me—began singing along to the Icelandic classic with great enthusiasm. It was a rare and authentic moment - I still listen to that song occasionally for a wave of nostalgia."

Noga was fantastic, unfortunately the poor support once on the trip means I can’t suggest her or kimkim to others. If there’s something else support had been there I would definitely refer Noga to others. Read more

It was crowded, small, and not very exciting. It was pretty, and the history was interesting, but ultimately not worth the time.

Probably nothing within the control of the organizers.
