Winter in Iceland can be quite the beautiful experience. It’s especially great when you can take time to stop wherever and whenever you want to along the journey. However, if you intend on renting a car, BEWARE and stay on top of the rental company’s fine prints and pricing. My friend Ashley and I did a […]
