The Drifty Guide To Iceland

Iceland is a magical place.

From nearly any major airport in the United States, you can get to Reykjavik, Iceland in under seven hours. With Boston, New York, and Baltimore all acting as gateaways, for many, Iceland is the most easily accessible part of Europe from the states.

For many that live in, Iceland acts as quick gateway to Europe. The Keflavik hub provides affordable flights to nearly any country you can imagine. For instance, you could be on your way to Barcelona or Dublin for under $100. It's an incredible way to get into Europe and hop around.

Many people that visit Iceland fall in love with the magic and stillness of the city. While Iceland, of course, has increased in popularity over the past few years, the appeal of the country comes from heavily discounted airfare, budget airlines, opportunities for long layovers, and of course, all of the beautiful scenery from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Many people spend around 1-2 weeks in Iceland, and rave about the nature, food, people, and more.

However, many visit Iceland for a longer period, or transition to a life there. There's so much to see and do, it's easy to imagine having a life on this remote, cold island has to offer. Regardless of where you're from, or how long you're staying, there are a lot of ways to experience Iceland.
