About Johanna

After studying Icelandic literature and creative writing at the University of Iceland, I turned my passion into a career working as a freelance writer, then as editor-in-chief of a magazine. Somewhere along the way, I started writing for the Campervan Reykjavik blog. Today, I focus on writing guides and stories about Iceland with one hope in mind: that they help you turn your own trip into the ultimate Icelandic experience
