We strongly suggest you purchase travel insurance for your trip. Aside from medical care, travel insurance can protect you in the case of lost or stolen luggage, equipment, and personal effects, trip cancellation, personal liability, funeral expenses (we don't mean to sound morbid, but dying overseas can be very, very expensive), emergency dental treatment and evacuation back to your country of residence. All that being said, please read the policy carefully (especially the exclusions) to make sure that it covers what you will need, especially trip cancellation. 

We provide personalized service and you can sign up for a workshop by emailing us directly at liza@lizapoliti.com

Most Icelanders believe in elves and trolls. This belief dates back to the days of the Vikings. Icelandic folklore is still rich with stories about the Huldufólk, meaning "hidden people", who are said to live in the lava fields. When constructions take place in certain lava fields of the country, there is even a special spokesperson for the elves.

Beer was illegal in Iceland from 1915 to 1989 due to a prohibition. Now, every March 1st, the country celebrates “Bjórdagurinn” or “Beer Day” commemorating the end of a 74-year beer ban.

Iceland is home to the largest glacier in all of Europe, Vatnajökull, which covers 8% of the country's landmass.

Iceland has one of the oldest democracies in the world. Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is where Icelandic chieftains met in the year 930 CE to create the first parliament, the Alþingi (or 'Althing' to English-speakers). These chiefs and their successors then met at Þingvellir every year until 1798 to discuss issues and create laws. After a period of change, including a 43-year abolition by royal decree in 1800, the Althing was re-established in Reykjavík and assembled again in 1845. It still runs to this day.
