There’s no other country that is as hot as Iceland right now. It’s a country where a symphony of elements shine incredibly bright.

Iceland Travel Guide
Just ridiculously pretty.
I was skeptical at first with the number of people that have been to Iceland in the past 5 years. Having seen the country with my own eyes, I can say that it is just as every bit as stunning and beautiful as they say it is, and more.

The WOW Air Experience
I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I clicked on “Book” on the WOW Air website. There are no pretences that they’re as good as their national carrier but I quickly learned that they’re okay with that and they sure have fun with it.
