Overview

Step off the beaten track and discover the life, heritage, and culture of the Icelanders. Come and walk with me along my favorite hiking route close to Reykjavik. Have lunch and enjoy our traditional home food. Discover how we lived in the old days. Visit my favorite geothermal outdoor swimming pool where the locals go. At the end of the day, visit my home and listen to some of my family stories, learn about our passion for genealogy, and taste some of our traditional food like the Icelandic shark if you dare. Why spend hours on a bus when the interesting things are just around the corner?
