I'm Aldís Amah. An Icelandic/American girl with a very mixed heritage. Raised in the west side of Reykjavík I know the city like the back of my hand (just don't try me on the street names, terrible with 'em) and I couldn't have asked to spend my childhood in a better place. I'd be happy to assist you in planning your trip to our island. :)

Icelandic winters...

(All credit to the photo goes to this beautiful blog) Contrary to popular belief, Icelandic winters aren't as cold as the name would suggest. The average temperature rocks around 0 degrees and usually the worst months are January and February. And not because of the temperature. Because of the wind.  Iceland is an extremely windy place due to it's location and the fact that it is an island (which you probably already knew). But usually it's not that cold when you can find shelter from the wind. So good luck with that! What is your typical Icelandic winter? Rather than there being a lot of

Landmannalaugar Tour

A few years back my mother and I were a part of a Landmannalaugar sightseeing tour and it was - to say the least - amazing!  Landmannalaugar is one place I can definitely recommend seeing if you're headed to Iceland and want to experience the amazing landscape and natural treasures our country has to offer.  Here are a few facts about the area: The name comes from men from an area called Landmannasveit. They found the springs and story goes that they rested there while herding sheep. Not sure how accurate the story is but it makes sense doesn't it? It's a geothermal area, meaning that th

Welcome to Niceland

Icelanders have been voted the friendliest people in the world! Perhaps it's because the sun has finally graced us with its presence for more than just a few hours a day... but maybe it also goes a bit beyond that. Our ever so friendly (sometimes too friendly) ducks and swans at the Reykjavík pond surely help and give you a sense of friendliness in Iceland. They'll be your best friend ever if you just give them a bit of bread. Until the bread is over, then it's off to the next... To some foreigners it may come as no surprise but to a lot of Icelanders it does. You see, just a few decades

The Icelandic Dog (Dawg)

A very beautiful and typical Icelandic dog. Featured picture is stolen from this site, it's worth checking out if you're interested!  ---- These posts will focus on the few animals that can be considered true "Icelanders". We all know them and care for them, so much that some of them can never return to the country if they leave in fear of them bringing back any unwanted germs/illnesses etc. And all animals moving to Iceland have to be quarantined (if they can move here at all of course.) Now as you all might know (I hope you do haha) Iceland is relatively cold compared to other European

Today is my "Moved to Iceland" birthday! Jeeeei!

And what a strange day it is. Started off as a beautiful sunny day with no snow or rain or a mix of the two in sight, don't get those too often this time of year. The air was really crisp and clean and the light was beautiful. Of course it was really cold but not too windy. So after baking a cake and receiving guests it was time to go out for a refreshing walk. The thought hadn't left my mind when I looked outside and once again... all was white! There was a snowstorm and it has now left Keflavík (I don't know about other places) completely white and the storm is so dense I can
