Iceland might seem a little out of reach, but here, we bring to you our version of the ultimate Iceland Roadtrip, where we spent 10 days with a campervan, all under SGD2.8k! If you re curious, here s how: https://thetravelintern.com/budget-iceland-itinerary-camper-van/ Our first stop, REYKJAVIK (00:19) 00:23 - Hallgrimskirkja You defo cannot miss this church that has such unique architecture, inspired by the lava columns around Iceland. 00:29 - Baejarins Beztu Pylsur Don t underestimate these hotdogs!! These will probably save your freezing selves, giving you some warmth in your tummy. 00:36 - Golden Circle Tour 00:39 - Kerio Crater Have you ever stood atop a 3000-year-old volcano? The experience was truly one-of-a-kind, breathtaking and just other worldly. 00:43 - Secret Lagoon This was probably the highlight of our tour — getting to soak in the warm, natural hot springs of the Secret Lagoon~ 00:49 - Geysir Post-hot spring soak, we got to see the aggressive geyser bubble over that launched 100ft of water into the sky! 00:54 - Gullfoss This was a special one to us because we got to catch a top-down view of the falls, one of the few falls around Iceland that allowed us to take in such a view! :-) 01:00 - Thingvellir National Park Walk through where the Icelanders declared independence from Denmark and their first president. We then hopped over to the SOUTH COAST (01:06) 01:08 - Seljalandsfoss Start your South Coast adventure at Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall you can actually walk around and behind. 01:15 - Skogafoss Pro-tip: Please be in water-resistant attire, or if you re one with no qualms about getting soaked, by all means! Embrace the falls wholly. 01:21 - Black Sand Beach Get to see the iconic black sand beach and its beautiful towering volcanic columns. 01:27 - Solheimajokull Glacier Put your crampons on and start the very-tiring-but-super-fulfilling hike. And now we start our CAMPERVAN ROAD TRIP ADVENTURE!! (01:38) 01:45 - Bridge Between Continents Which other spot in the world allows you to flex that you re actually in Europe and North America at the same time???? 01:52 - Solheimasandur Plane Wreck You ve prolly seen thousands of photos and videos of this abandoned plane wreck site. But it really doesn t bring justice to the mystic and beauty of the very-wrecked (pun-intended) photo spot. 01:59 - Reyniskirkja Nothing beats having a warm, home-cooked meal in your campervan while taking in the gorgeous sights of Vik~ The adventure continues through EASTERN ICELAND (02:06) 02:09 - Diamond Beach These aren t diamonds in the sky (cues Rihanna), but diamonds in the... beach? 02:16 - Vatnajokiull Glacier Tour This ice cave hike through Iceland s LARGEST glacier was a whole other level of epic.... 02:29 - Stokksnes This was where we witnessed the Northern Lights dancing and prancing in the sky, tbh we shed a tear, or two, or maybe more. 02:43 - Viking Village Back in the days of the old viking era.... This would ve been how it looked! Now we re headed to NORTHERN ICELAND (02:48) 02:53 - Grjotagja Cave We ve seen a couple of caves and hot springs, but we weren t expecting to see both in the same place. Also, for all you GOT fans, hope you got the reference. ;-) 02:57 - Godafoss Frozen states and liquid states don t really come together, but apparently they do, here at godafoss??? This was absolutely magical. 03:07 - Camping Hamrar It wouldn t be a complete road trip in Iceland if you don t stay in one of the campsites around Iceland~ 03:15 - Hofsos Swimming Pool The best way to start your day right — a dip in an infinity pool with a view of snow-capped mountains by the ocean. 03:23 - Hvitserkur Super photo-worthy spot! It was worth the short detour we took. 03:29 - Illugastadir To end Northern Iceland allllll off (sob), time your day such that you catch the golden hour and watch the seals here at Illugastadir s seal-watching point. Finally, we head to our last part of the trip, WESTERN ICELAND (03:36) 03:38 - Kirkjufellsfoss You ve also probably seen photos and videos of this mountain, which happens to be Iceland s most prominent mountain, we believe. 03:44 - Londranger Viewpoint We could never, ever get tired of the views from the viewpoints around Iceland. We hope you re inspired to take that leap of faith (after saving some moniessssssss) to go experience all of the above for yourself! :-) ---------------------------------------------- Edited by: Akif - http://instagram.com/akifkeith Follow our travel guides around the world on: ► https://thetravelintern.com/ Follow us on our travel adventures on social media: ► @TheTravelIntern http://facebook.com/thetravelintern http://instagram.com/thetravelintern Learn about The Travel Intern Programme: ► https://thetravelintern.com/about-tra...
