In this episode, I sit down with my friend, the Head of Visit Iceland, the marketing organization responsible for promoting Iceland as a travel destination. A native Icelander living in Reykjavík, she shares what it’s like growing up in this land of glaciers, geysers, black sand beaches, and geothermal spas.

We dive into unique Icelandic customs, including the family naming conventions and the beloved Christmas traditions featuring the mischievous Yule Lads. Plus, we explore broader cultural topics such as Iceland’s approach to sustainability, immigration, and the evolving world of travel. Whether you're curious about Icelandic life or planning your own adventure, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration from the heart of Iceland.
