Iceland Itinerary
Iceland had never been on my radar for traveling due to the high costs, however due to their shifting economy and drive to draw in tourism, it quickly made its way to the top of my list. Personally, I could not stay in Iceland for too long, as it was still a bit too pricey for my taste, but it is still a fantastic segue or beginning to a trip if you plan on heading to other parts of Europe. Here is an itinerary during mid-June for two in Iceland for two weeks with the main mode of transportation and source for accommodations being a van.
