One year ago today I hit publish on my first blog post. Ahhh, ONE YEAR!
I’m so excited and proud of this space on the interwebs. I had no idea what I was getting myself into one year ago, but it has been WAY more fun than I could have imagined! It’s fun (and scary!) to look back on some of those early posts and to see how much I’ve learned in 12 short months. I’ve met some amazing people because of this blog, and I’ve also been able to help a lot of people plan their trips to Iceland, which has been AMAZING!
I started Life With a View as a way to share about Iceland and to help people planning their trip to Iceland to make it EASY. When we planned our honeymoon in Iceland I would have given anything to be able to ask questions to someone who lived in Iceland! I had to search hard to find what to pack! So I’ve committed this space to making trip planning SIMPLE!
So what’s next for Life With a View? I am SO excited about this coming year! I’ve been working on a big project that will take this blog to the next level and help YOU more than ever!
But the good news is you can still count on the same awesome stuff that brought you here in the first place!
- Blog posts about travel tips, hidden gems, videos, and more!
- Iceland Travel Team Facebook Group – connect with other travelers and ask questions to plan your best trip ever!
- Iceland Resource Library – checklists, printables and guides to help your Iceland trip planning process easier.
From the bottom of my Iceland-loving heart, THANK YOU so much for being a part of this awesome community! I truly appreciate every comment, heart, question, thumbs up, and connection from each and every one of you!
And because of all your love and support, I want to give you something!
An Iceland Road Trip Gift Box!
What’s in this gift box?
Iceland road trip essentials:
- Icelandic snacks and candies
- Björk liquer – made from Icelandic birch (ok this is for after driving of course!)
- The ultimate road trip playlist – songs that perfectly fit the mood of driving through the breathtaking Icelandic landscape!
I know a lot of people are planning an Iceland Road Trip – I don’t blame you, it’s the best way to travel around Iceland! But perhaps some of you have already been to Iceland, and you miss some of the little snacks you see at all the gas stations. OR maybe you’ve never been to Iceland but you need a little inspiration.
Bottom line, this giveaway is prefect for anyone!
You have ONE WEEK to enter to win. Some options give you more than one entry, and some entries can be completed daily!
The more entries, the better your chance of winning! GOOD LUCK!
Question: Have you been to Iceland or are you planning a trip?

September 6, 2016 at 7:27 pmHappy blogiversary! Excited for you and to see where the future takes you, both with the blog and in Iceland!
And I’m super stoked for this giveaway as well – what a fun way to celebrate. Personally, my Iceland snack stash is starting to deplete and there is a startling lack of lakkris for sale over in these parts 😉 Iceland really has THE best snacks of any country I’ve visited.

September 8, 2016 at 4:52 pmI just came across your pins on pinterest and have been in awe at the pictures. We are heading to Iceland October 12 for our first anniversary and are so so excited. I made myself read some of our travel guide book before I devour all of your blog posts, so I had a general idea of where things were in the country. I might have to write down all of those candies in the picture to get while we are there. I love chocolate and candy in general, but I love it even more from different countries. Gorgeous blog photos!

September 10, 2016 at 2:43 pmJust found your blog, Jeannie, and I’m so glad I did. I’m heading to Iceland in October and your blog is going to be so FREAKING helpful. I thought I’d toss my name into the giveaway too – maybe I can just pick it up in person and use that road trip CD on my actual road trip. 🙂
