Travel should be about new experiences and immersing yourself in the culture of your destination.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"4x4 tours around the central highlands of Iceland are our main specialty, including convoy expeditions and glacier crossing. However, we tailor make each tour according to the interests of each traveler - bird watching, salmon fishing, exclusive retreats in remote luxury cottages."
How did you get involved in travel?
"After studying abroad as an Erasmus student, I got a summer job as a Travel rep in Portugal, and never turned back. I spent 13 years in the hospitality and travel business in the UK and Spain, and have been with Isafold Travel since my return to Iceland in 2012."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Spending 4 hours travelling to Skagafjordur in North Iceland in a fog with almost zero visibility, then dipping into the swimming pool at Hofsós and see the fog disappear as by magic and the fjord glow with the golden light of the midnight sun."
