Dreaming of Iceland but not sure how to make it work solo—or in winter? I just returned from an unforgettable 6-day solo trip to Reykjavik and it was everything: northern lights, hot springs, ice caves, and cozy cafés that look straight out of Pinterest.
If you think you need a car, a group, or a huge budget to explore Iceland—think again. I did it all with shuttle buses, public tours, and layers of warm clothes (lots of layers 🧤).
For a full breakdown of how I planned the trip, where I stayed, what I packed, and all the magical moments in between, check out the full post:

🧊 Trip Highlights:
- 🧖🏽♀️ Soaking in geothermal hot springs with snowflakes falling around me
- 🌌 Catching the northern lights on a clear night tour
- 🐴 Saying hi to Icelandic horses (yes, I tried the meat too!)
- 🍽️ Warming up with creamy seafood stew and lamb soup
This was one of my favorite solo trips to date—and I promise, if Iceland's on your list, winter is the time to go. Bundle up, bring your curiosity, and head to the full blog for the full itinerary, costs, and tips that’ll make your trip smooth and memorable.
