Welcome to Where The Lupins Grow, a lifestyle blog where I document my life in Iceland and my journey to healing through creativity & micro-adventures. If you’re looking for something specific, try searching or use the “Categories” menu.
Where The Lupins Grow is a blog dedicated to documenting my life in Iceland as a foreigner – both content specific to Iceland and other lifestyle content.
On this blog, you will find Iceland travel guides – particularly focused on Akureyri travel guides – as well as my experiences as a British immigrant in Iceland and a host of posts that show my journey to healing my mental health through creativity.
This blog is proudly human and proudly me. I begrudgingly optimise my posts for Google’s search engine but hopefully you can still feel the personality and life shine through my writing. Every piece on this site has been written by me (unless it’s a collaborative post), meaning you can rest easy knowing there is no AI hallucinations on this site.

If you’ve been looking for Akureyri travel guides, you’ve found the right place! Get your information from a local who has lived here for over 4 years.
Before I lived in Iceland, I was a tourist in Iceland so I use my knowledge
as both a local and a tourist to write Iceland travel guides for destinations and attractions around the entire country.
A large part of my digital presence is dedicated to documenting my journey to healing my mental health using my creative streak. On this section of the blog, you can expect art supply reviews, posts about the pieces I make and the odd tutorial.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in Iceland as a foreigner, I write posts about the culture shocks of living in Iceland as a British immigrant, Icelandic traditions that I’ve grown to love and my journey to learning Icelandic as a second language.
