Two weeks in, and I already miss Iceland. Kirkjufell. One of the most iconic mountain in the Snæfellsnes peninsula. This is taken during the autumn season, where the snow hasn’t really arrive yet, but the chilly winds is enough to chill you to the bones! There is something magical about this island, this country, the... Continue Reading →
With the recent release of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, I believe that the combined hardware and software capabilities of the camera system in Apple’s new flagship smartphones have reached a turning point. After taking the new phone for a spin on my recent Iceland trip and looking at what the cameras were capable of,... Continue Reading →
Road 901. Perhaps the most scenic and beautiful road I have driven in this trip to Iceland. A light winter’s touch topped with a sprinkling of light snow throughout the landscape made this place surreal as if straight out of a fairy tale. Shot on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. In 2016, I went on...

So shit just got real. Previously me and my dad were just casually discussing about going on a trip to Iceland. Obviously I went there with my friends 3 years ago in February of 2016. It was full on winter. Super cold and the snowy landscape was just drop dead gorgeous. Of course, the landscape... Continue Reading →
Last year, my friends and I, the same group that went on a road trip around Iceland, were planning to go to Canada for our next great road trip holiday. However, I think I have to shelf that plan. It has come to my attention that my parents would like to go Iceland for their... Continue Reading →
It was time to drive. After collecting our white Ford Edge AWD car from Thrifty, a car rental company, we checked out from our hotel, loaded all our stuff, got ourselves comfortable and drove on Route 1, Iceland’s Ring Road. The car was just nice for a group of four and the boot could easily... Continue Reading →
Today, the real adventure begins. Our flight to Iceland was not until 1.20pm in the afternoon. We got up early and had a fulfilling American style breakfast at Mad Restaurant. We needed to have a heavy breakfast because we decided to skip lunch and have a nice dinner instead upon arrival in Reykjavik, Iceland. As... Continue Reading →
Planning for this Grand Adventure began more than 6 months ago. Back then, we were throwing around ideas on our next big holiday. The Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Greenland) often came up during our almost weekly discussions over dinner meet ups. At that point of time, we weren’t very keen due... Continue Reading →
And boy! What an adventure! There is so much to share! Hopefully I will find the time to share all my stories of my adventures in The Land of Ice and Fire! But for now, I need some sleep. So jet lagged. And I have tons of photos to upload, convert and process which will... Continue Reading →
For the past couple of months while planning our trip to Iceland, Nordic Visitor has been extremely helpful in giving us advice, tips and most importantly, assisting us in booking our accommodations, car rental and activities for our trip. Without them, planning our itinerary would have been much more difficult. They were extremely helpful in... Continue Reading →
The time is finally here. We are going to Iceland in 9 days time. After months of planning, booking flights, tours, deciding on the dates, the duration, buying insurance and the kinds of activities we want to do over there, we have finalised everything and are good to go. There is a certain level of... Continue Reading →
Seven days was all it took from the moment I applied for the card, to the moment I received it, just in time to purchase our air tickets to Copenhagen, Denmark and to Reykjavik, Iceland. I applied for the credit card to take advantage of the sweet 5% cash rebate on all purchase (up to... Continue Reading →
One of my friends has been on the fence on whether to join us for our Iceland adventure trip next year for a few months. Yesterday, he said ok to the entire endeavor. We are actually going to Iceland!! We have been planning such a long and far trip for months now. The only thing... Continue Reading →
