With over 12 years of guiding experience (the last 6 right here in magical Iceland), I bring a deep love for this country’s wild landscapes, rich history, and unforgettable adventures. Whether you want to explore Reykjavik's quiet corners, chase waterfalls off the beaten path, or follow your curiosity deep into the Highlands (when the season allows!), I’m here to create a tour that’s uniquely yours. I’ve guided everything from WWII history walks to whale and puffin tours, and I’ve travelled every side road I could find - collecting stories, fun facts, and local gems to share along the way. Whatever your interests, I’ll help bring Iceland alive in a way that’s personal, thoughtful, and always a little fun (I am known for my excellent puns, after all!). In my downtime, you’ll find me hiking, exploring in my 4x4, visiting museums (I’m a bit of a history buff), or just soaking in life here in Reykjavik, my home for the past six years. I’m excited to meet you, learn what you love, and build an unforgettable Icelandic adventure together. Let’s go exploring!

Hosting allows me to combine my love for travel / culture / food / nature with the joy of making others feel at home.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll often find me your hobbies – Baking. What makes me different as a host is the personal touch. I love tailoring recommendations to your interests—whether it’s where to find the best local dishes, secret viewpoints off the tourist trail, or unique cultural experiences most visitors miss. I believe it’s those insider tips that turn a trip from “good” into “unforgettable.” For me, hosting isn’t just about offering a place or a tour—it’s about sharing a piece of my world with you. I’d love to help you experience Iceland in a way that feels authentic, warm, and memorable.

“Most personable tour ever ”
I travel and take guided tours all the time. Very few guides have the enthusiasm and energy of Lucky. Communicating with her was easy and she responded to messages very quickly. Lucky clearly enjoys WW2 history as she came prepared with reference photos, videos on an iPad and a strong desire to be informative and chatty. She knows the material and has a wonderful way of passing that information on. She is bubbly, excited and fun. She showed us great places to eat as well and passed on some great travel trips about Iceland. It was like getting a tour with a close friend that just happens to be a tour guide. If you’re looking for a break from another dry guided tour, I suggest Lucky and her various tour offerings. Not only will you learn a lot about Iceland during World War II, you’ll likely come away feeling like you made a new friend as well. I’m hoping I can get in one more tour with her before I leave Reykjavík. The food tour option sounds incredible. I whole heartedly recommend Lucky and her tours. I’m absolutely sure you will as well. Thank you Lucky….

“World War 2 On A Platter”
We scheduled a combined World War 2 and Food Tour with Luck B. Lucky us! This was a great tour. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the British Invasion and occupation of Iceland during World War 2 and the American “invitation” to take over from the British. Lucky knows her history and our tour was jam packed with interesting stories and facts that captivated us and held our interest for the entirety of the tour. Although WW2 is her special area of interest we also asked her to put together a food tour to combine with our history tour. One member of our group has several food allergies that Lucky was able to accommodate. In fact she even provided a vegan cake for our friend to eat while we sampled some excellent Icelandic pastries. Lucky is engaging and fun and the information provided good insight into some little known events during WW2 that continue to impact Icelandic culture today. Lucky comes complete with British uniform and we especially enjoyed walking in the steps of the invasion force. We highly recommend Lucky and this tour if you are Looking for something a bit out of the ordinary.

Thank you so much! I had the loveliest day with you all, it was a real treat to spend time with you, and wonderful to hear your war stories in return to mine. I hope the rest of your time here is wonderful, enjoy your cruise and say hello to the whales for me in Ísafjörður :) All the best Lucky
