- You're going to Iceland for the very first time.

Here are the top 10 tips that you need to know

before you embark on this amazing journey

and visit one of the greatest countries in the entire world.

Basically right now, there's a huge obsession with Iceland

around the world, and there is very good reasons for that,

because this country is pretty spectacular.

As a resident of Iceland for the last 14 months,

giving up my life in sunny Australia for this bizarre

I've compiled the top 10 things that you need to know

before visiting this country to make sure your holiday

And also, check out my instagram so you can get inspiration

Firstly, you need to decide what you're after

You have a choice between winter and the warmer months.

Perks to choosing the warmer months is it's warmer.

You have access to most of the roads, unlike winter,

where a lot of the roads are closed because

of dangerous conditions, AKA ice on the road.

The downsides to summer, no Northern Lights,

because yes you need darkness for Northern Lights.

The Northern Lights period is roughly from late August

until end of April, so you've got plenty of time.

However, if you want to experience 24 hours sunlight,

you're not gonna see the Northern Lights.

The downsides of traveling through summer,

is that it's insanely busy with tourists,

the prices are more expensive for everything.

and it's not exactly warm, considering that the

max temperature even during summer is roughly

If winter is what you're after, and lots of snow

and blue pops of aqua water around the place

The upside is incredible scenery that you don't

the Northern Lights, however, it also comes down to luck

It's a little bit easier to book your accommodation

The downsides, it's cold, days are really short,

and some of the roads are not accessible.

So for example if you really want to do the Ring Road

around Iceland, you might not have that possibility.

Riekjavik just became the most expensive city in the world

I only book the first one or two nights of accommodation,

and then I just go on the fly and just work it out

However, in Iceland, I really don't recommend you do that.

I recommend pre-planning as early as possible

for accommodation, whether that's hostels, hotels,

or Airbnbs, which is a really really good option.

I wish someone gave me these tips when I was coming here.

Shop for your food at the local supermarket.

Eating out in Iceland is by far the most expensive thing,

Also, if you have a car consider staying outside of

Reykjavik because you really don't need to be inside

because that's what Iceland is all about,

and you'll find some great deals for accommodation

Personally, I go for independent every single time,

just because I like the freedom to stop at any point

and time and take as many photographs as I want,

because in Iceland, that's what you really really

And there's some great deals on cars that you can hire,

Obviously, the downside, in winter, it's kind of

dangerous driving if you've never done it before.

so tours aren't that bad of an option at that time.

Sidenote, please don't stop your car in the middle of the

road when you're taking photos in Iceland

No matter what season you come to Iceland,

Throw the umbrellas out the window because they are useless.
