ICELAND

In March of 2015, my wife and I took our honeymoon to Iceland. With a rough itinerary in mind, we made our way around the country in our little 4x4, staying in AirBnB’s and hotels along the way, seeing the most beautiful and terrifying landscapes in the world.

On our first day, we melted into the Blue Lagoon and watched the solar eclipse, which is actually the blip you see at the opening of the film. We then traveled out past Þingvellir National Park, to our first AirBnb near Geyser and Gullfoss. I managed to get our car stuck in a huge snow bank, and my wife loved me more than she ever had. Needless to say, it was a stressful end to our first day in Iceland.

The next day we drove to the black sand beaches of Vík and Dyrhólaey and made an impromptu visit to the Icelander Hotel in Vík. We ate local lamb and fish stew and watched Rush Hour 2. Pure delight.

We traveled out west to the Snæfellsness Peninsula on our third day. Our AirBnb, the tiny house on a hill, was by far the most incredible place we have ever stayed in. With a perfectly clear view of the massive mountain next to us, and not to mention the Northern Lights, it was the perfect spot to spend 3 days of our journey.

Days 4-6 consisted of surveying the Snæfellsness Peninsula and surrounding areas, finding hot springs, seeing the northern lights, and relaxing in the middle of nowhere.

We spent our final days in the capital city of Reykjavik. We were tourists that day, buying sweaters, having dinner at Kex Hostel, and running around in love.

It was a purely magical experience and we hope that this shows you a little bit of that.
