Losing ourselves in the tranquility of Blue Lagoon

Beautiful phantasmagorical Iceland – stunning landscapes, intriguingly barren lava fields, individualistic fashion and music, and of course home of the most fabulous thermal spas. The perfect place to indulge your escapism, where separation from reality is an effortless and sometimes unconscious decision.

While Reykjavik in itself was small, we were adequately captivated by the variety of shops, bars, & cafes that lined the one main street that pretty much made the city. Our daily trek to and fro the apartment and the city square became part of a welcome routine as we repeatedly tried alternative routes in an attempt to explore every unvisited corner of the city.

Can’t wait to go back, rent a proper badass 4×4, indulge in more minke whale & puffin (defo not hakarl tho), and possibly check out the Iceland Airwaves music fest that takes place in October. Perhaps even watch the Northern Lights if time and money allow.
