  • Super helpful!

    Thank you, Figgy, for this great info! I’m going to Iceland next month and hearing you talk about where to go and what to eat hits differently than reading about it online. I’m feeling much more comfortable (and excited!!) after listening to your podcast. Keep it up!

    I really enjoy Figgy’s input. I’ve never been but have planned a trip and am learning a lot about things to consider on advance of everything. I’m a little worried about parking apps. But I’m really confident about the food and lodging scene.
