Rúrik Gíslason is a former footballer for Iceland's national team and a jack-of-all-trades who has turned his hand to making gin, modeling, music, and dance: in 2021, he won the German dance competition 'Let's Dance.'
In March 2023, Rúrik came to North Iceland for a winter trip. He flew to Akureyri with Icelandair, who offer daily flights from Reykjavík. For four days, Rúrik experienced some of the best the region has to offer in wintertime, from thrilling activities to natural wonders and local cuisine.
His first day included horseback riding, viking sagas, skiing, swimming in a geothermal infinity pool and a tour of a local beer brewery. If you haven't got any of that on your bucket list, you are likely to put some of these experiences on that list after watching!
