Last summer, I travelled to Iceland and embarked on a road trip around the entire country. It was nothing like I expected, and everything I had dreamed of.

There is one road that circles the entirety of Iceland, and it took us 6 nights and 7 days to complete the road trip. Along the way, we tried to hit all of the sites including waterfalls (a lot of them!), glacier tours, black sand beaches, coastal towns, and so much more!

The only downside is that everything is so expensive in Iceland! I was only one year out of college, so I did not have the funds to splurge on meals out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner day after day. So I did what I do best- I made some PB&Js for the road! These became my best friend, and also cut down on time stopping for food when there was so much out there to see!

Though I loved my PB&Js, I had to try some of the local eats! My favorite, which happens to be on the cheaper side, is the fish soup. It was always so fresh and filled with seafood of all kinds. It was also the perfect lunch to enjoy on the colder Iceland days. Not to mention, it was light and protein-packed– perfect for a road trip! My favorite fish soup came from a restaurant in Reykjavik called Fish and Chips.

And last but not least, probably my favorite Icelandic food is the Skyr yogurt. I was able to find these everywhere, and I think I had one pretty much every morning. Skyr comes in a variety of flavors and was SO creamy and delicious! When I returned to the US, I missed it so much I had to find some here. And that is when my addiction to Siggi’s began!
