Harpa Groiss
Travel Expert in Iceland Write a reviewAbout
Since the age of 16, I have been traveling a lot and working abroad. I started in beautiful Austria as an au-pair on a farm with Icelandic horses, and this led to work as a riding instructor in a riding school for a summer or two.
Right around when I turned 21, I started working on cruise ships for a few years, sailing around the world. When I landed in Iceland again I worked in hotels in the south of Iceland and ended up being the manager of one of the highland hotels for a few years more.
Now I am one of the owners of an Iceland travel company. I am also a licensed fishing guide and it is one of my passions. Nothing beats the tranquility of casting into the river and perhaps getting a fish or two. Iceland still takes my breath away.
Harpa's Travel Expertise
I specialize in custom-made travel plans that can be anything from a shared package to a high-end luxury experience. My true passion is the Icelandic highlands, where Thórsmörk is my number 1 destination. I go there myself several times a year to drink in the energy of the glaciers around me and breathe the incredibly fresh air! But if you don't want to go into the highlands, I can also plan you an amazing trip on the regular, paved ring road.

Harpa's best travel experience
Two of my favorite experiences as a tourist have to be walking in Rome, and seeing all the ruins of Egypt. To me, it is simply a breathtaking experience to walk underground into a tomb and see all the monuments our forefathers built that have lasted through the centuries.To touch something that was built 5000 years ago just amazes me!
