When WOW air popped on the scene in 2015, they began offering low-cost air travel from North American to Europe. I was so excited. Finally, a budget airline has opened doors to countries that were too expensive and out of reach.

Here’s what to expect when you get aboard a WOW air flight:

I couldn’t have been more excited when WOW air popped on the scene in 2015 -- offering low-cost air travel from North American to Europe. WOW air opened doors to areas of travel that I thought were too expensive and out of reach.
After six flights on WOW air, I feel I’ve gotten enough flying time under my belt to let other people know what they’re getting themselves into when using the Icelandic budget airline.

But, in my opinion, there’s only one food that every single visitor in Iceland must try.

Just when I thought I knew something about Iceland, I find out about the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
Recently, I was looking for new and interesting places to visit on my THIRD trip to Iceland. I was going with a buddy, Matt, and wanted to bring him places I had never been before. After some research, I found out about the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It was INCREDIBLE.
It has so many incredible features -- waterfalls, lava fields, black- and tan-sand beaches, lighthouses, adorable small towns, craters, volcanoes, caves, gorges and so much more.
It's a 12 to 15 hour day trip from Reykjavik and I cannot recommend a day trip there enough.

Very excited to be heading to the Land of Fire and Ice for the THIRD TIME!
I will be spending four and a half days in Iceland with my buddy Matt. I'm very excited to check out new areas of the country while the weather is warmer and the sun stays out for 21 hours a day.
Follow me on Instagram -- @PrepareToExplore -- to follow along with my trip. I've planned several new days trips that will bring me to some new areas in Iceland. I've also spent a lot of time researching new secret/non-tourist areas I can't wait to explore.
