Thinking of doing a road trip through Iceland in winter? In this video, I take you behind the scenes of what it is really like to travel as a woman in a camper van through Iceland’s dramatic winter landscapes. From icy roads and remote hot springs to Northern Lights and snow-covered waterfalls - this journey was full of surprises! I also share honest insights about how safe I felt, practical tips for driving in winter conditions, and why van life in Iceland is totally doable (even solo!).
Whether you are planning a Ring Road adventure or just dreaming of Icelandic winter magic, this guide will help you feel confident and inspired. 💙 #Iceland#Vanlife#solofemaletravel

flying the Drone for a second and I'm
just going to enjoy the view
ah a little bit all right so we just
found a piece of ice can you guys

million Euros or old or like many
millions what does it taste like
prehistoric ice taste

so we are currently walking on the
glacier
pretty dark no look it's like a lot of
sand Ash is it yeah I mean like all
these like black Parts especially in the
crevices like all black ash from the
eruptions that happened over the
hundreds and thousands and millions can
you say the name of the volcano you're
so good at it you know the the main one
oh the one that went off in 2010
not 100 sure if it's accurate but this
is soul Hammer yakult which is the space
area
it's good to have somebody who can
pronounce all these things
yeah this is the name of the Geisha
a bit of History
[Music]
we made it to black sand beach and
honestly the drive here was just so
scenic and so incredibly beautiful I
cannot put it into words you have to see
it for yourself everything is just so
minimalistic so this the the nature and
the surroundings speak for themselves
and I'm so happy that I chose to take a
ride with happy camper because it's just
you know it's just different when you
can explore by yourself and just stop by
wherever you want and take your time and
just
take it all in I'm so looking forward to
that beach now and we reached another
epic spot I mean there are two bridal
shootings going on here we're currently
walking on black sand beach and this is
the spot we're talking about there's one
bride over there another bride over
there seems to be these spots for
wedding shootings and apparently this
rock formation is made by nature and I
couldn't believe it because I said I
mean is this man-made because it looks
man-made but apparently it's Nature Made
from the volcanic some something
something like everything here in
Iceland it just looks epic oh beautiful
bride
congratulations
it looks like the rocks have hair right
