Real answers. Local insights. No fluff.

Vacation.is was born out of frustration. Too many travel blogs talk in circles, push generic checklists, or pretend every day in Iceland is sunny and photogenic.
We’re here to do the opposite.
This site is run by a lifelong local who actually lives here—and who answers the same questions travelers ask every day. Questions like “Do I need cash in Iceland?”, “Will my rental car survive the Golden Circle?”, or “Can I drink from the tap without dying?”
We dive into the details that matter, skip the clichés, and give you honest, practical advice to make your trip smoother, smarter, and maybe even a little cheaper.
You won’t find AI-generated drivel, paid fluff, or random Pinterest-worthy itineraries here.
Just solid info. From Iceland. With (a little) attitude.
