What you’ll do

I have been solo traveling to amazing destinations for a few years now. From hidden waterfalls, to remote hiking trails, to hole in the wall restaurants I found in small towns along the way! After 50+ hours of research, I am happy to share this EPIC Itinerary with you all! Why spend days/weeks planning when I have all the MUST SEE and Hidden Gems right here! Enjoy!

I flew in from Denver and landed in Iceland at 6am. I reserved the first available spot at Blue Lagoon at 8am. The earlier you get there, the better!
