In Summer 2021, after finishing my studies, I wanted to have a journey that would have pushed me to my limits. I prepared all the gear, packed my bike in a cardboard box and flew to Iceland. After 5 days of quarantine (offered by the Icelandic Red Cross) I started cycling.
It has been really tough at times since Icelandic weather is very harsh due to strong winds, low temperatures and persistent rains. In Iceland there are no trees, no shelters that protect you.

Awesome ride, great views.
Awesome brother! Respect.
Really nice! I’m thinking about doing something similar – but am unsure about wild camping, it’s quite restricted. How was your experience with it overall? Did you just randomly put up your tent or did you have to avoid certain areas like nature reserves?
Che ricordi! In che periodo sei stato? Io ero li ad agosto21….trovi un video sul mio canale! Ciao,

Great vibe in this vid, love the happiness shown by bikepacking across Iceland – defo some,thing on our adventure bucket list!
Hello, just want to ask some questions, I have been planning to do a 40 day bike packing trip across Iceland but do you think it would be a problem if I merely come there with little money. I am quite minimalist actually.
