Explore Iceland's hidden gems
During my first visit to Iceland, I fell head over heels in love with the country and almost immediately decided I wanted to move there. I found a job as a horse riding guide and in my free time explored every part of Iceland.
I have lived in the north of Iceland for the last 9 years and this part of the country really has captured my heart the most. But many tourists skip the north because it is not as well known as the south. I want to change that and help everyone see, the north is a true hidden gem.
So do you want to visit the more unexplored areas of Iceland and skip the most touristy and "busy" spots? Come visit the North of Iceland and experience why I fell head over heals in love with Iceland.
