Iceland starts when you drive out of Reykjavik, ask anyone from the country side - its a break from regular life. For me, it is my regular life. As your tour guide, I’ll help you disconnect from your everyday world, so you can immerse yourself in nature and naturally reconnect with yourself.
My name is Bijo, and I am a seasoned tour guide, holding certifications that underscore my professionalism in the field. My passion for the outdoors has been a cornerstone of my life, allowing me to embrace the beauty of nature while cultivating a mindset centered on gratitude, wellness, and continuous personal growth. My journey has been enriched by practicing mindfulness, exploring the intricacies of marketing, and bringing innovative ideas to fruition, far from the confines of a traditional office setting.
Having spent thirteen years in Germany, my adventures have also led me to develop a profound appreciation for the United States, visiting almost annually and embracing the diversity of its landscapes. My role as a tour guide has taken me to extraordinary destinations, including over ten expeditions to Greenland, showcasing my ability to navigate and illuminate rare corners of the world.
Fluency in English and German, with aspirations to master Italian in the vibrant setting of Milan, complements my academic achievements—a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Berlin Technical University. My intermittent four-year residence in the USA was a period of exploration, odd jobs, and meaningful encounters, fostering unparalleled people skills and a reputation for crafting the most exquisite campfire cuisine in any region I visit.
As a certified life coach and first-aid responder, I integrate the healing power of nature into my practice, utilizing it as a tool for detoxifying from electrical smog, stress relief, fasting, and introspection. This holistic approach not only defines my personal ethos but also enhances the unique experiences I offer as a guide, connecting clients with the transformative power of the natural world.
You get your own personalised tours with 1-4 friends or family. If you are with more friends than that … we simply rent another car/jeep and drive in tandem and use walkie-talkies.
Day tours from and back to Reykjavik are usually in the range of $1000 a day. My service is highly personalised towards you and includes many extra add ons like :
All no problem, because I like to be of service and what I do. and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
