Iceland is one of the best places to live in. But Iceland is one of the best places to live in. But it’s also a matter of the type of person you are and what your personal preferences are when it comes to climate, comfort, society and infrastructure. 
Let’s point out some of the things that make Iceland the place it is, and if these sound like something you would enjoy, then you would probably enjoy living in Iceland:
Midnight sun and polar night. Iceland is close to the Arctic Circle, and it has almost 24 hours of daylight during summer and a lot of nighttime during winter. 
It’s cold during summer, not beach time. In winter, it’s even colder and snowy. 
It’s windy. 
There’s not a lot happening, especially if you live outside Reykjavik, the capital city. 
You need to drive to get anywhere. 
Social interactions are limited, and most people are very private. 
Most items are imported and are sold at a premium price. 
Rents are high, but electricity and water are cheap. 
There’s not a lot of infrastructure (highways, tunnels, public transport or parking lots outside the city). It looks empty for the most part. Some love it some hate it. 
There are not a lot of trees. 
The most popular activity is to go to a local swimming pool (and sit in hot tubs next to strangers). The second one is hiking.
Read more about what’s really like to live in Iceland on my blog (One month as a digital nomad in Iceland).

Welcome to Hvammstangi, in North Iceland 🇮🇸 Welcome to Hvammstangi, in North Iceland 🇮🇸 
I wa shere at the beginning of July, the toad here is only gravel, about 10 km from the Ring Road, and extremely windy. 
But somewhere on the other side, there were seals 🦭 and this video doesn’t do it justice.

Don’t be fooled by the videos you see online! You need to dress up!!! Literally, is is the land of ice. And when it gets windy and rainy, it’s pretty much the worse place to travel to if you hate bad weather.

You’ll find them in a lot of places, just steam rising from the ground. It’s pretty warm too, but it’s water. So the moment you’re out of the steam, the water gets cold and you’ll feel cold too, especially if the wind is blowing. 
But it’s amazing!! 
This is some where in the South of Reykjavik, and the steam was so big, I couldn’t see anything while in the middle of it😅 
Since they’re all over the place, right behind it you can see a power plant (Icelandic main source of green energy).
What a world we live in.

What to expect on your first trip to Iceland?! A What to expect on your first trip to Iceland?!
A lot. 
But whatever you read or prepare for, it will not be enough to prepare you. 
After 5weeks in Iceland, I still feel that I have left some unexplored corners of this gorgeous island. 
Saving them for my next trip. 
But the thing is that you can’t possibly do it all in one go. 
There’s a lot that you need to organize, take care of, or simply reserve the time to enjoy places or to rest. 
It’s a lot, and it will make you tired. The weather doesn’t help either. 
I read some comments from people saying that the weather wasn’t that bad in July. Yes, that’s true. But before and after July, the weather is not all sunshine and rainbows. 
Anyway, if you were to visit Iceland anytime soon, how much time would you like to spend there?
No wrong answers, just want to know what kind of itinerary should I prepare first.

What my I want my days to look like Road trips a What my I want my days to look like 
Road trips are my favourite trips. 
It’s not easy. 
Road trips are time-consuming, expensive in some cases, and energy-draining. 
But I still adore road trips. It’s like watching a movie, and you’re in it.

The Glacier Lagoon in Iceland 🧊 Vatnajökull i The Glacier Lagoon in Iceland 🧊
Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe and this is what it looks like when it melts. 
Huge chunks of ice break from the glacier and start floating in the lagoon, slowly melting and making their way towards the ocean. 
A lot of the small pieces of ice end up on the beach nearby, which is now famously known as Diamond beach 💎

As of end of July 2023, Trail A (starts from P1) is the best for getting a good view of the volcano. 
The eruption site is still active, but lava is not spilling out of the crater. 
If you’re in Iceland, make sure this check this out. 
It’s mind-blowing how nature can do this!

Top things to see in Iceland 🇮🇸 1. Glacier Top things to see in Iceland 🇮🇸 
1. Glacier lagoon
2. Waterfalls everywhere (Seljalandsfoss in video)
3. Basalt columns and lava formations (Studlagil canyon in video)
4. Geothermal areas (the great Geysir in video)
Most guides will tell you that you need to see X and Y spot. 
But Icelandic nature tends to repeat itself and you will find the same kind of formation in different places. 
It’s not to say one place is better than other. But they are all Iceland and therefore, all gorgeous. 
Enjoy your Icelandic road trip! Guides on planning your trip and best itineraries coming soon (for free)!
