Laufey Sigurðardóttir
I have always loved to travel in Iceland and to other places in the world. When I visit different countries, I especially love to get to know the local cultures and hike on beautiful, off the beaten paths. I started traveling in Iceland when I was young because my parents took every opportunity they had to get out and experience Icelandic nature. Exploring Iceland’s natural landscapes is very special. You get a sense of real vastness out in the highlands, and you can be mesmerized by the beauty of the little things, like a small creek or fragile arctic fauna that bravely faces the elements. Later in life, I continued my parent’s "work" when I had children.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in hiking / trekking in the Icelandic highlands. I also design tours to experience the wonders of Iceland, longer tours or short breaks."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I go out into Icelandic nature regularly to restore my energy. My passion for nature is why I started working for Icelandic Mountain Guides. I didn't hesitate when I was given the opportunity, especially because their environmental policy encourages every visitor to be a responsible traveler."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"It's not easy to pick just one. However, I can say that my best moments have been related to the serenity and power of the Icelandic highlands. Nothing compares being alone or with good friends, your backpack, and tent in the middle of nowhere."

I would recommend this trip to anyone.
We had a marvelous time. The travel agency is informative and very accommodating.
Our tour guide Jon is awesome. We are glad he managed to drive through the crazy wind gust and rearrange the schedule so we can get the most out of the trip despite the weather. The airport shuttle taxi driver is very kind and informative too. Thank you all!
