When we first started to plan for Iceland we kept reading that Iceland was an expensive country to travel to. I would say coming from the states, especially California, it was very much comparable.
So what kind of cost are we looking at? Over the next 16 days we road tripped through some of the most magical scenery and was surprised at how many stops were actually free.
This will definitely keep your cost down. One of the biggest cost is going to be the camper van rental and gas, but it’s absolutely worth it
