  • Day Trip Around Mývatn

    Day Trip Around Mývatn

    Mývatn is always such a fun place to visit and I have been there frequently, but I have never gone around it completely. Which is why we decided to go for a day trip around Mývatn when were in Akureyri. I wanted to write a little bit about the stops we took around the area.…

  • Icelandic Rice Pudding

    Icelandic Rice Pudding

    I wanted to write about the Icelandic Rice Pudding (grjónagrautur) or otherwise know as the most simple but delicious rice pudding! I love making this rice pudding and do eat it frequently. It is such a simple recipe with four basic ingredients. Rice, water, milk (and salt). The fourth ingredient is what ruins friendships, causes…

  • Snow Days in Reykjavik

    Snow Days in Reykjavik

    It has been snowing here in Reykjavík. At first I wanted to write about how rarely it is that we get so much snow here, but as I was looking over my Instagram I realised I was wrong. The thing is when I usually think about winters in Reykjavík I think about this. View this…

  • Month in Review: December

    Month in Review: December

    December! Oh boy! Last month of the year, my birthday month, Christmas, and not least my last days in Helsinki. On my last evening in Helsinki we decided to go and eat a final meal at Hesburgers. It was great. And it fitted my stay in Helsinki. And then the morning just before I left…

  • Laugafell

    Laugafell

    What is interesting about Laugafell is that it is an oasis in a desert. There are several cabins there you can book and a campsite (that looked very uncomfortable). If you are sleeping in tents I would recommend good mattresses because the campsite did not have a lot of grass. The Touring Club of Akureyri (Ferðafélag…

  • Snæfellsnes Road Trip Part 2

    Snæfellsnes Road Trip Part 2

    This is the second day of the road trip we took around Snæfellsnes. We were as lucky with the weather on the second day as on the first. I didn’t write about all the places we stopped at but only the ones that stood out the most, basically I only wrote about the places I…

  • Snæfellsnes Road Trip

    Snæfellsnes Road Trip

    There is a reason why I haven’t posted a lot from the hikes and trips we took this summer in Iceland and the reason is that I don’t know how I wanted to write about these trips. I am not a travel professional, this is not a travel blog, this is not a blog about…

  • Hiking to Glymur

    Hiking to Glymur

    On Sunday we decided to see if we could find some good weather. It was raining in Reykjavík like it has been doing for the most part of the summer. We decided to hike to Glymur, the second highest waterfall in Iceland. Before I go into how amazing the hike was I need to mention…

  • Hiking up Úlfarsfell

    Hiking up Úlfarsfell

    I wrote in my review of April that I wanted to hike up on one mountain in May.  Last summer I wrote about hiking up Vindbelgur. In that post I mention that I do enjoy hiking but not hikes that are too hard, and Úlfarsfell was a perfect not-too-hard hike. Hiking up Úlfarsfell isn’t hard and…

  • What is Bragðarefur and why do you need one?

    What is Bragðarefur and why do you need one?

      I think it has been established that I enjoy sweets and since we finally have some good summer weather here in Reykjavík it is the best time to write about some Icelandic ice cream. Bragðarefur is something that is quite popular here in Iceland and even though the name is complicated the ice cream…
