Someday, I’d love to travel to Iceland. In this episode, I chat with Erika Owen. The Brooklyn-based travel and design writer is an expert on all things Iceland. We discuss the best time of the year to visit Iceland, flaneuring, and must-see sights. Erika talks about puffins, cloudberries, silver foxes, lava tunnels, and the Icelandic dish she won’t eat again. I think you’ll hear some helpful suggestions, plus Erika’s one new thing.

Erika is the author of two books:

THE ART OF FLANEURING: How to Wander with Intention and Discover a Better Life

LAWBREAKING LADIES:  50 Tales of Daring, Defiant, and Dangerous Women From History

Erika’s articles about travel to Iceland appear in Conde Nast Traveler, Trip Advisor, Fodor’s, and more.

Her design articles appear in Architectural Digest, GQ, and others.

For more about Erika and flaneuring, you may enjoy this story.

Have you ever been to Iceland? I’d love to hear any recommendations you have about what to see and do, how to break up the travel days, and how much time to spend in the country. Please connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, or email me at [email protected]
