Reykjavik, Iceland!

Welcome back for Season 2!!

We're kicking off this season with Haley's no. 1 bucket list destination -- Iceland! If you've seen Walter Mitty, you 100% want to go to this place, but it also feels SO foreign and mysterious... But don't worry, we've got insider tips and advice from an Icelandic native on how to see the best parts of Reykjavik and the rest of Iceland. Special thanks to Katie & Rurik for helping us start off Season 2 right and one of our favorite interviews to date!

Questions? Suggestions? Call (641) 715-3900!
