ICELAND EP1 | A cinematic roadtrip North

In 2021 it was time to leave for the North again. This year we decided not to go Norway and instead visit Iceland and the Faroe Islands with our trusty DIY campervan Wilma! I always wanted to go there with my own van and explore the country without a big plan and independent from accommodations.

This year it finally worked out - we left for a 6 weeks trip. We spent 2 days in Denmark before taking the Smyril Line directly from Hirtshals to Seyðisfjörður in the East. We explored the East Fjords before driving through Southern Iceland to Reykjanes - after missing the eruption of the volcano Fagradalsfjall for just one week earlier this year, we wanted to see this place now even more. And it was amazing!!

After some intense days at the volcano we explored the southern region and all the well-known places such as Skógafoss and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, but also got to visit some new places! Vanlife in Iceland was pretty easy and comfortable - campgrounds everywhere and with so many public swimming halls, it's always easy to find a shower. After a couple of weeks we found ourselves in stormy Snæfellsnes, ready to head for some more adventures to Northern Iceland. More in EP2 - coming soon!

Happy to show you my attempt in covering this 6 weeks journey in a more or less cinematic way. My biggest video project so far and it took me quite a while to put everything together. I hope you like the video and feel inspired to also do that one day - cheers! :)
