Travel Through Iceland in Less than a Week.

1/24/2017

0 Comments

 

I was in a van down by the river in Iceland & it was gorgeous!

Picture
Iceland is a blast and an extremely safe country to go to if traveling solo! 
​Traveling is a passion of mine -- my goal is to motivate and empower others to get out there by sharing my trips! 

​What to Bring:
 
Passport – duh.
SIM CARD for wifi << This was super helpful. I cannot take a day off, therefore this was extremely beneficial for me to be able to work on TeamJesBon.com while Mike (my super sexy boyfriend) drove. (some vans include WIFI – if it doesn’t get your SIM card in the capital when you land)
Bring CDs like its 1999! – when you get to the south side of Iceland there will be hardly any reception and the radio will not work – if you enjoy pure silence for 6 hours – cool – if silence for that long drives you bonkers bring CDs!
Large Water Bottle
Flash Light
Lighter for your Grill
Packable Quick Dry Towel
Sunglasses
Bathroom Toiletries
Roll of Toilet Paper to keep in car (get ready to drop it low in the wilderness) Side note – don’t leave your toilet paper outside that’s not a nice thing to do to the locals – bring a ziplock bag to put your TP in it and throw it away when you reach a garbage.
Selfie Stick (mine has a tripod on it which was so nice to have)
Cash: I recommend brining 200 Icelandic$$ and your credit card
Picture
PACK SNACKS!
Food is VERY expensive in Iceland (we’re talking $30 per plate and nobody’s got time for that)
I brought a shit ton of food – this is what I brought:
  • 2 bags of beef jerky
  • protein powder
  • 2 cans of almonds
  • bag of apples
  • loaf of bread – do Ezekiel bread because gluten is for assholes haha just kidding - I don’t care what bread you eat.
  • peanut or almond butter
  • deli meat
  • mustard
  • emergen-C vitamin C drink helps with energy and avoiding sickness
  • coffee grounds
  • mini Italian coffee pot because coffee is life
^^ so you get the point – my suit case consisted of mostly food – but hey, that’s where my priorities are. #eatclean #teamjesbon

What to Wear:
RAIN GEAR! Jacket and Pants
Good Hiking Shoes
Comfy Tennis Shoes
Flip Flops for Community Showers at Campgrounds
Warm Tall Socks
Beanie/Hat
Fresh Undergarments
Light Gloves
Layers:
-flannel the more lumber-jacky looking the better
-vest
-light down jacket
-heavy jacket
Durable Pants (yoga pants may be too cold)
Swim Suit –  don’t worry about looking cute, I wore a one piece that gave me a wedgie the size of Texas. ​

Step One: Buy Your Plane Ticket to Reykjavik Iceland
I flew with WOW air because the tickets are very cheap. However, you have to pay for your bags and also you have to pay for food and drinks on the airplane. Another thing to keep in mind is that baggage is 20 kilograms NOT 50lbs. 1 kilo is 2.2 lbs.
WOW air flies out of Boston, Los Angeles, Baltimore, and Washington DC.
 
 
Step Two: Get your rental car. (do this before you land)
I got a VW Sleeper Van from Rent Nordic rent.is GoRent
There are campsites around the island where you can shower along your journey. This was very convenient.
Note: In Iceland you cannot park and sleep wherever you want. You need to sleep at a campsite. They started enforcing this rule after tourists started abusing the privilege and driving over beautiful landscape. Don’t be that guy. No one likes that guy.
Picture
The rental place is roughly 400 meters from the airport. Grab your bag and walk it. You can see it from the airport exit.
 
If you cannot drive a stick shift vehicle – time to learn J
 
Also – If you are a decent driver I would do the basic coverage package for insurance (yes they will charge you for insurance on your vehicle ONCE you get there) If you are paying attention to where you are driving Iceland is a very comfortable safe place to drive.
 
Day One:
-Drive through Tingvellir Iceland
-Check out Reykjadalur Hot Sping
-Go see Gulfoss Waterfall
 
Sleeping at
850 Hella Iceland
Picture
​Day 2:
-Skogafoss Waterfall
-Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
-Solheimasandur (wrecked D3 airplane on Black Beach) 3 mi walk one way
-Reynishverfi Rocks
- Selijavallalaug Zwembad HotSpring Near Vik
 
Sleeping At:
Vik Campsite
Vik is Super Small as you are driving through you will see it on the left side
 
Day 3:
-Drive to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
-Stop and see the waterfalls and other glaciers along the two hour car ride
-Head Back To Reykjavik stop and sleep half way if you need to
 
Day 4:
-Check out the city of Reykjavik
-Eat puffin at a restaurant!
-Hit Up the Blue Lagoon with is Super Close to the Airport
 
Day 5:
-Fly Out

    I live fast because I could die young. Life is so fragile which is why it is so important to genuinely live each day to the fullest!

    At age 16 I started as a group aquatic fitness instructor - later becoming certified in multiple fitness classes. 

    Teaching group fitness wasn’t cutting it for me. I wanted to help people individually while focusing on their goals specifically. 

    I became a personal trainer. Training smarter and not harder. 

    With positive thinking and dedication, I grew a large base of clients in Orlando Florida. 

    Out of the blue my dad suddenly died from a brain hemorrhage. I left everything in Florida behind and went to Wisconsin to take care of my mother and two sisters. 

    Everything I do is loaded with integrity, passion, drive, and innovation. 

    Although I wasn't in Florida -- I would never give up on my clients there. I emailed each one individually providing them with the tools they need in order to continue to achieve results. 

    This was so important to me - loyalty is a core value of mine. 

    My clients continued to see results. They told one person who told another - before I knew it a website needed to be built. 

    Creating my business, diving into health, nutrition and fitness held me together and pushed me through one of the toughest points in my life. If it saved me -  I am confident it will do the same for others as well. Passion.

    I write diets and train individuals because I LOVE IT. It is where my heart is and its what I am good at. 

    I am fueled by goal reaching, confidence building, and hearing "dang Coach I look awesome”.

    This is more than a "team" - more than a "journey" - this is a LIFESTYLE.

    I created this blog to help everyday people get sweet ideas!

    I created this blog to help motivate.
    I created this blog to help empower.
