The Iceland Travel Podcast Iceland Travel

Hilmar from the newly opened Hvammsvík hot springs came by for an excellent chat. Hvammsvík is located about 45 minutes from Reykjavík in the fjord Hvalfjörður and offers a very relaxing and invigorating day out. We get to know all about it and the often overlooked fjord of Hvalfjörður.

I was in the southernmost point of Iceland in the village of Vík in the Mýrdalsdalur region. After having visited some of the gems there I dropped by in the home of Holly Keyser who owns and runs the unusual and charming coffee establishment Skool Beans. 
We talked about everything that Vík has to offer, from movies shot there to all the natural wonders of the area.

Brew master Sigurður Bragi Ólafsson from the Kaldi Breweries drops by and we dive into their beer, the amazing Kaldi Beer baths, beer culture and the northern region of Eyjafjörður where Kaldi is located.
Skál! (Cheers!)  

I was in the charming house called Ós in Borgarfjörður Eystri in East Iceland just next to the ocean. Peaceful and inspiring sounds of the waves idling away in the background for some truly calming times, I was visited there by Árni Magnús Magnússon who is truly passionate about this lovely region. He runs various trips in the area and could probably name every rock in the area!

I was on the road and dropped by in the town of Sauðárkrókur and the museum 1238 which covers legendary battles in the history of Iceland. There I met Helgi Sæmundur Guðmundsson and Steinunn Gunnsteinsdóttir who are true locals that work there. Together we dove into some bloody but fun history, with a virtual twist.

Ólafur Steinarsson from Krauma geothermal baths and spa dropped by and we chatted about the relaxing place and what the surrounding area has to offer.
