This could be a villain origin story, depending on your perspective (we are side-eyeing you, 9-5 jobs), or a hero's arc. After 55+ countries and multi-annual trips around Iceland's ring road, our founder has a few key takeaways from all those travels. Every great trip deserves a few epic side quests. Spontaneity brings whimsy and adventure to every trip. Incorporating what you love into your trip makes it extra special. Authentic, deep-dive experiences makes the fruit of travel that much sweeter. These are the foundations of Sidequest: Iceland.
