The Westfjords in Iceland are a region of the country that many simply don’t journey to. It feels raw, untouched and remote. So, why wouldn’t you want to do a Westfjords road trip? I’m searching my brain, but no clear reason is coming to mind! Keep in mind that driving in this country is quite…
I’ve been to Iceland three times now (addiction isn’t always a terrible thing) and I don’t doubt there will be more trips to the land of ice and fire in my future. I see plenty of blog posts about this fantastic country and to be honest, sometimes it feels like I’m just reading the same…

A holiday in Iceland is not really complete without a visit to the Blue Lagoon. I had been once before, on my previous trip.
