I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 23rd of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in that well-known scripture found in Psalm 20:7: ”Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” Then we go to Acts 23:14: “They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.” Forty men pledge that they will eat nothing, they will drink nothing, until they kill the apostle, Paul. But of course, Jesus is Paul's protector. He is also your protector and my protector.What happened was that a young boy, the son of Paul's sister, overheard the ambush that was going to take place and went to the Roman Commander and told them what was going to happen, and they took Paul out of the city. They protected him. Isn't that beautiful? The Lord protects you and me often, and we do not even know that He is doing it. We will know when we get to Heaven. We just thank Him every day for protecting our families, our children, our parents, the widows and the orphans. He is our protection.Remember that story of the preacher named William Duma who operated on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal? He was going on a bus to another preaching appointment. He was in the middle of the sugarcane fields, sitting in the front of the bus on the passenger side, when all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit impressed upon him to get off the bus immediately. So he pulled the emergency wire. The bus driver came to an abrupt halt. There was dust flying all over the place. The bus driver was very angry. “Who pulled the emergency wire, right in the middle of the sugarcane fields?” There were no houses, no village anywhere near to be seen. This little preacher put up his hand. He said, “It was me. I have to get off the bus.” The driver said, “Are you mad? You are in the middle of nowhere.” "Well,” he said, “the Lord told me I have to get off.” Well, he opened the door and pushed William Duma out, threw his suitcase after him, slammed the door, put the bus into gear and roared off with a cloud of dust, and the little man of God stood there wondering, “Why have You done this, Lord?” But do you know that the bus went round the corner, and it wasn't a couple of kilometres away when it had a head-on collision with a truck coming from the opposite direction, and the worst damage was right in the passenger seat, in the front row, right next to where the bus driver was seated. William Duma would have died instantly. It was not his time. Don't be afraid today, call upon the name of the Lord. He will send His angels to protect you. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

A little after 9am on Thursday, I boarded my first train of a journey that has become increasingly familiar over the years. It was my sixth visit to the convention, having first attended in 2019 before COVID forced a break, but I returned in 2022. It was also my fourth time making the journey by train. The first leg carried me from the South Coast to London Victoria, followed by a tube trip to London Euston and a welcome lunch break before the faster train north. By around 4pm, I was walking through the NEC halls once again, ready for another weekend at UK Games Expo 2026.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/06/uk-games-expo-2026-saturday-review/Useful LinksUK Games Expo: https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/Asmodee: https://www.asmodee.co.uk/Genie Games: https://geniegames.co/Peranakan: Tiles and Tactics review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/04/18/peranakan-tiles-and-tactics-saturday-review/Singapore Showdown review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/05/02/singapore-showdown-saturday-review/Play With Us Design: https://pwud.ga/en/Playte: https://www.playte.com/Saashi & Saashi: https://saashiandsaashi.com/enPunchboard: https://punchboard.co.uk/We're Not Wizards: https://www.werenotwizards.co.uk/Hachette Boardgames UK: https://www.hachetteboardgames.co.uk/Meeple Minded: https://www.youtube.com/@meeplemindedBastion Indie Market: https://market.bastiongames.co.uk/Treesap Games: https://www.playtheratrace.com/Dissent Games: https://dissentgames.com/Atikin Games: https://atikingames.com/Malus Hortus review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/04/05/malus-hortus-saturday-review/Bags for Dice: https://www.boardgamesolutions.co.uk/Korpi: https://korpiboardgame.com/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music I use: https://www.bensound.comLicense code: CENAO1UIHSRD5UHUArtist: : Yunior ArronteRoyalty Free Music: Bensound.comLicense code: PZYTHO8UFSGHQIXDArtist: : Yunior ArronteRoyalty Free Music: https://www.bensound.comLicense code: UYST0IDQ8HEBCCWIArtist: : Benjamin TissotRoyalty Free Music: Bensound.com/royalty-free-musicLicense code: 0HBDJ9AWSGELF4W3Artist: : Benjamin TissotSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The latest analysis of wildfires shows that last year the UK recorded its highest burned area on record, including the country's first documented ‘megafire' in Scotland, that's a fire which covers more than 10,000 hectares. Researchers from the University of East Anglia led a team of international scientists looking into last year's fires round the globe, they say wildfires are getting more extreme, costly and disastrous. Though less land was affected, globally the fires resulted in more than 300,000 evacuations and the deaths of more than 90 people. .A three million pound project backed by DEFRA which has been looking at how methane emissions can be reduced in sheep has announced its findings. Various breeds from Scotland to the South Coast were tested as part of the research which gathered data from thirteen and a half thousand lambs. The scientists involved in the “Breed for Change” programme hope sheep farmers will use their data to reduce their carbon footprint.All week we're focusing on farming in the uplands, places above a thousand feet, landscapes like the Brecon Beacons, the Peak District, and the Highlands: many of the most stunning places in the country, but because of their geography they're generally harder places to farm. MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee are preparing a report on the challenges facing upland farmers in England and how the Government can best support them. It follows the publication of the Land Use Framework, which identified upland areas as places which could be most suitable for delivering climate and nature targets.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

After more than a decade at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, Chef Alex Prichard is trading Bondi for Berry with the launch of Sara Dining & Garden, a produce-driven restaurant grounded in farming, sustainability and regional hospitality on the NSW South Coast. In this conversation, Lucy Allon sits down with Alex to discuss the realities of opening a farm-led dining destination in today’s economic climate, why chefs need a deeper connection to producers and how regional Australia is reshaping the future of hospitality. Alex’s career has taken him through some of Australia’s most respected kitchens, including Momofuku Seiobo, Sake and The Cut, before becoming Head Chef at Icebergs at just 24 years old.

What Buyers Should Know About Viewing Properties in Today's Market Buying a home is exciting but touring properties is about much more than simply walking through a front door and deciding whether you like the kitchen. During a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Melissa Wallace sat down with Boston Connect Real Estate agent Sue Bollinger to discuss what buyers should truly understand before scheduling showings, attending open houses, and making offers in today's competitive market. From understanding how online showing requests really work to why private showings matter and how buyers can protect themselves throughout the process, this conversation highlighted the importance of working with experienced real estate professionals every step of the way. The Reality Behind “Schedule a Tour” Buttons Most buyers begin their home search online. But according to Sue Bollinger, many buyers don't realize what actually happens when they click the “Schedule a Tour” button on large real estate websites. Many third-party real estate platforms are designed to generate leads not necessarily connect buyers directly with the listing agent. In many cases: Your information is sent to agents who pay for advertising The agent contacting you may know very little about the property You may unknowingly meet an agent for the very first time in a driveway before a showing The person you speak with may not represent the seller or you Sue explained that buyers often assume they are speaking directly with the listing agent when they are not. That is why it is so important to ask: Who does this agent represent? Are they representing the seller? Are they representing me? What type of agency relationship exists? Understanding representation before touring homes can help buyers avoid confusion and better protect their interests throughout the transaction. Why Buyers Should Have Representation Early One of the biggest themes throughout the show was the importance of working with a dedicated buyer's agent from the very beginning of the home search. A buyer's agent helps: Define your home search criteria Understand your budget Analyze comparable sales Identify property concerns Navigate negotiations Coordinate inspections Explain market value Protect your interests throughout the process As Sue explained during the show: “The listing agent's fiduciary responsibility is to the seller.” That means the listing agent's job is to secure the best possible price and terms for the seller not necessarily the buyer. Having your own representation ensures you have someone advocating for your side of the transaction. Private Showings Are Often the Best Way to View a Home While open houses can be convenient, Melissa and Sue both emphasized that private showings typically provide the best experience for buyers. Private showings allow buyers to: Move through the home at their own pace Ask detailed questions Focus without distractions Evaluate layout and functionality more carefully Have their agent point out important details Sue shared several real-world examples where buyers initially missed major concerns with properties until she toured the homes alongside them. Experienced agents often notice: Sloping floors Moisture issues Foundation concerns Structural problems Signs of deferred maintenance Heating or roofing issues Poor renovations or missing supports Sometimes what looks beautiful cosmetically can hide expensive issues underneath. That is why having a knowledgeable agent physically tour the property with you can make a significant difference. HGTV Isn't Real Life One of the most relatable moments during the show came when Melissa and Sue discussed unrealistic expectations created by television shows. Unlike TV, most buyers: Tour many homes Lose out on properties Adjust their wish lists Revisit properties multiple times Need patience throughout the process In today's market, it is completely normal for buyers to: See several homes before making an offer Tour the same property more than once Reevaluate priorities Compromise on certain features Buying a home is a major financial and emotional decision and it rarely happens as quickly as television makes it appear. All Decision Makers Should Attend Showings Another important point discussed during the episode was making sure all decision makers attend showings whenever possible. That includes: Spouses or partners Family members involved financially Anyone whose opinion will heavily influence the decision Why does this matter? Because it can delay the process when: One person loves the property Another person sees it later and disagrees Additional concerns surface after the fact Different people notice different things during a showing. One buyer may focus on layout, while another notices storage, traffic patterns, noise levels, or renovation needs. Having everyone involved early helps avoid unnecessary complications later. Buyers Should Pay Attention to More Than Cosmetics It is easy to get distracted by beautiful staging, fresh paint, or trendy finishes. But buyers should also pay close attention to: Roof age Heating systems Foundation condition Electrical updates Plumbing concerns Storage space Traffic patterns Noise levels Layout functionality Renovation costs Sue explained that cosmetic issues are often manageable, but large structural or mechanical issues can quickly become expensive. A buyer's agent can help distinguish between: Cosmetic updates Necessary repairs Major red flags This helps buyers make informed decisions while staying within their budget. Be Careful What You Say During Showings One of the most important modern realities buyers should understand is that many homes now have recording devices. These may include: Ring doorbells Interior cameras Smart home systems Baby monitors Audio devices Melissa and Sue stressed the importance of being careful about discussing: Offer strategy Budget Negotiation plans Concerns about pricing during showings or open houses. You never know who may overhear a conversation or what devices may be recording. The best practice? Save strategy discussions for private conversations with your agent after leaving the property. Flexibility Matters in Today's Market Another key takeaway from the conversation was that showing appointments revolve around more than just the buyer's schedule. Many homes are still occupied, which means sellers may be coordinating: Children Pets Work-from-home schedules Health concerns Multiple showing requests That means buyers may occasionally: Need to adjust schedules Wait for approvals Work within limited showing windows Being flexible and respectful can go a long way in securing opportunities to see desirable homes. Final Thoughts Touring homes is about much more than simply deciding whether you like a property. It is about: Understanding value Identifying potential risks Evaluating functionality Protecting your financial future Making informed decisions As Melissa Wallace and Sue Bollinger emphasized throughout the episode, having experienced representation can help buyers confidently navigate the entire process from the very first showing to the closing table.

#1009 | Ed and Dan recap United's comfortable win over Brighton on the South Coast. There was a little bit of liquid football to close out the season in an upbeat mood. With no Casemiro in the squad and Cunha on the bench, Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount started in what could easily have descended into an end-of-season dead rubber. Instead, this was the best way to close out the campaign, including Bruno's record-breaking 21st assist of the season. 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Carrick's Tactical Choices: Mount, Dorgu and the Midfield 03:25 What Do United Need in Midfield? 11:04 Dorgu: Big Spaces Player and the Right Profile? 16:21 The Squad Vibe and Carrick's Man-Management 20:16 Guardiola vs Fergie 30:49 England Squad: Tuchel's Selection 40:51 Summer Transfers: Fernandes, Tonali, Ederson If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our ⁠Patreon page⁠ or subscribe on ⁠Apple⁠ Podcasts.

Behind The Sale: What Your Agent Can Help You With Before, During & After The Sale Buying or selling a home is about so much more than putting a sign in the yard or scheduling an open house. During a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace pulled back the curtain on what truly happens “behind the sale” and the many ways a real estate agent helps clients before, during, and after a transaction. From coordinating inspections and gathering documents to managing timelines, solving unexpected problems, and protecting clients from risk and liability, a great real estate agent is constantly working behind the scenes to keep transactions moving smoothly. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a moving experience and that means guiding our clients every step of the way. Before the Home Hits the Market One of the biggest misconceptions in real estate is that selling a home simply means putting it online and waiting for offers. In reality, much of the work begins long before the property ever goes live. Understanding the Seller's Goals Before discussing pricing or marketing, Sharon explained that the first conversation always centers around understanding the client's goals, timeline, and motivation for moving. Questions often include: Why are you moving? Are you staying local? Are you downsizing? Are you relocating out of state? Do you need to buy before you sell? What timeline works best for your family? Sometimes the best advice is actually not to move. Melissa Wallace shared that there are situations where it makes more financial sense for homeowners to modify their existing home rather than give up a low interest rate or take on a more expensive monthly payment. That type of honest guidance is part of the value experienced agents provide. Preparing the Property for Market Before listing a home, agents help sellers gather critical documentation and identify potential issues before they become problems later in the transaction. Important Documents Sellers May Need: Plot plans Septic plans Title V inspections Solar agreements HOA documents Condo documents Permit records Closed permits Roof warranties Appliance warranties Mold remediation documentation Radon system information One example discussed during the show involved a property requiring a new septic system. Sharon coordinated directly with septic professionals and engineers to determine the best solution and prepare the property for market. This is one of the many behind-the-scenes responsibilities sellers may never fully see. Identifying Risk Before It Becomes a Problem Experienced agents are constantly looking ahead for potential issues that could impact the sale. That includes: Easements Shared driveways Boundary concerns Open permits Utility agreements Leased propane tanks Solar lease transfers Melissa Wallace explained how researching these items early allows agents to proactively address concerns instead of scrambling days before closing. As Sharon stated during the show: “It isn't about hiding anything, it's about disclosing everything that we know.” Transparency protects everyone involved in the transaction. Pricing Strategy Matters More Than Ever Pricing a home correctly is one of the most important responsibilities of a listing agent. Sharon explained that pricing is never simply based on emotion or guesswork. Agents analyze: Comparable sales Market trends Buyer demand Local inventory Seasonal timing Neighborhood activity And in today's market, conditions can change quickly. Melissa pointed out that buyers will immediately tell you if a property is overpriced or underpriced through showing activity and feedback. That is why strategic pricing and adjusting when necessary is critical to success. What Happens During the Sale Once a property officially hits the market, the behind-the-scenes work intensifies. Marketing the Property Agents coordinate: Professional photography Floor plans Video tours Social media marketing Email campaigns Open houses Broker open houses MLS exposure But marketing is not just about exposure it is about creating the right story for the right buyer. Managing Showings & Buyer Communication One of the most valuable things a listing agent does is communicate directly with buyer agents before and after showings. Sharon explained that she personally speaks with buyer agents to highlight important features buyers may otherwise overlook. Examples include: Hidden storage areas Laundry hookups Expansion potential Utility information Future renovation possibilities This helps buyers better understand the property while also helping buyer agents confidently present the home to their clients. Gathering Feedback & Solving Problems Sometimes a home receives strong traffic but no offers. That is where feedback becomes essential. Sharon shared an example of a property where buyers consistently commented about the lack of a second-floor bathroom. After speaking with agents and buyers directly, she adjusted the marketing conversation to focus on the home's renovation potential and possible future primary suite layout. This kind of problem-solving and market analysis happens constantly behind the scenes. Managing Deadlines & Keeping Transactions Together A real estate transaction includes countless moving parts and deadlines. Agents help coordinate: Deposit deadlines Inspection timelines Purchase & Sales deadlines Mortgage commitment dates Title V inspections Smoke inspections Final walkthroughs Closing coordination Sharon emphasized how important communication is throughout the process because even small delays can create major problems if deadlines are missed. Experienced agents are not simply reacting to problems they are actively trying to prevent them before they happen. Understanding Fair Housing & Legal Compliance Another major responsibility agents handle behind the scenes is ensuring all marketing and communication complies with Fair Housing laws. Even phrases many people think are harmless can violate fair housing regulations. For example: “Perfect family neighborhood” “Short walk to the beach” “Great for young couples” Real estate professionals must carefully analyze every listing description and marketing piece to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. This is another area where professional representation protects both buyers and sellers. Real Estate Is More Than a Transaction At the end of the day, great agents are not simply salespeople. They are: Problem solvers Project managers Negotiators Communicators Marketing professionals Compliance experts Trusted advisors As Sharon McNamara explained throughout the episode, real estate is about helping people navigate major life transitions with confidence and clarity. Final Thoughts There is an enormous amount of work happening behind every successful real estate transaction—much of which clients may never fully see. From preparing homes for market and coordinating inspections to navigating negotiations and protecting clients from risk, experienced agents play a critical role in keeping transactions on track.

Along with hearing about volcanoes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and gorgeous landscapes, one of the biggest things people associate with Iceland is how expensive it is. And honestly, that conversation comes up constantly. It's one of the most common questions when I am helping travelers planning their first trip here. Iceland has built a reputation online for being adventurous and fascinating, but also very expensive. And to be fair, it absolutely can be. Publications like Travel + Leisure have even ranked Iceland among the most expensive travel destinations in the world. From my perspective as someone who has lived in Iceland since 2016 and helped thousands of travelers through my podcast, social media channels, private consultations, and my in-depth video course, The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland, what stands out to me is this: most people don't create a realistic budget for Iceland. Inside This 5-Day Iceland Budget Guide Knowing where to start with Budgeting for 5-days in Iceland Why the Season You Visit Changes Your Entire Budget What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Flights to Iceland Accommodations: The Biggest Budget Variable Rental Cars & Iceland’s New Road Tax How to Save on Renting a Car and Camper Van in Iceland The Hidden Iceland Expense Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Food Costs in Iceland Activities & Tours: What to Expect Use Discount Codes Strategically to Save Money Unexpected Costs Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budgets by Season Winter Budget Breakdown Shoulder Season Budget Breakdown Summer Budget Breakdown Knowing Where to Start with Budgeting a 5-day Trip for Iceland I think that people don’t always create a realistic budget for Iceland because they don’t know where to start. Travelers are often unsure about  how much to set aside for accommodations, activities, rental cars, food, parking, or even how much the season changes everything. So instead of just throwing random numbers at you, I want to walk you through how I would personally budget for a 5-day trip to Iceland depending on your travel style, the season, and the choices you make while you're here. Because the reality is that a 5-day trip to Iceland could cost one person around $1,300 and another person over $4,000 — and both of them could still have incredible experiences. The Season You Visit Iceland Changes Everything If there's one thing I really want travelers to understand before budgeting for Iceland, it's this: the season you visit impacts almost every single part of your trip. That includes accommodations, rental cars, flights, activities, and even how you spend your time while traveling. I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say that the exact same hotel room can literally double or triple in price depending on the month. For example, a hotel room that costs around $120 per night in winter can easily jump to $250–350 per night in summer. Same room. Same location. Same hotel. The only thing that changed is the season. Now, I don't say that to scare anyone. There are also unique events that can create unusually high prices, like the 2026 total solar eclipse in Iceland, where some accommodations are charging thousands of dollars per night because demand is so intense. That's not the normal reality for Iceland travel, but it does show how much seasonality and demand affect pricing here. Rental cars work exactly the same way. In summer, demand skyrockets, and travelers are often shocked by how quickly prices increase if they wait too long to book. What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Another huge part of budgeting for Iceland is understanding the type of trip you actually want to have. I think social media sometimes makes this harder because people see inspiration online and accidentally start comparing their budget to someone else's completely different trip. Maybe you want to see the Northern Lights, but you're planning to come in summer, which, by the way, isn't possible because the sun barely sets. Maybe you want to base yourself in Reykjavík and do day trips, or maybe you want to road trip around the country and stay in multiple places. Perhaps you want to rent a camper van or stay in luxury hotels for part of the trip because you're celebrating something special. All of those decisions affect your budget. One thing I regularly help people understand during my private video consultations is that Iceland often looks much smaller on the map than it actually is once you start driving around it. For example, if someone wants to stay in Reykjavík the whole trip but also drive to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, I explain that this is about a five-hour drive one way. That's ten hours of driving in a single day before you even stop at waterfalls, black sand beaches, or anywhere else along the route. That's why route planning matters so much in Iceland, not only for your sanity but also for your budget. Flights to Iceland – Cost per Season Flights to Iceland fluctuate constantly depending on the season, where you're flying from, how early you book, and global fuel prices. For winter, flights are often around $400–700 roundtrip, while summer flights can range from $600–1,200 or even higher. And honestly, airfare pricing lately has become even harder to predict because of global fuel market instability and international conflicts affecting energy prices. Those things trickle into airline pricing too, so whenever I give ranges for Iceland travel costs, I always want people to understand that these numbers are based on averages and trends, not guarantees. One thing I personally recommend is signing up for airline email lists, like Icelandair or Delta Air Lines, because they regularly send flight sales. I also use Google Flights to track pricing trends, and you'd honestly be surprised how much prices can fluctuate from one week to another. Accommodations in Iceland: The Biggest Budget Variable Accommodation is usually where people underestimate costs the most. For budget accommodations like hostels, guesthouses, smaller rooms, or shared bathroom situations, you're generally looking at around $400–700 total for five nights in winter and about $700–1,400+ in summer. For mid-range accommodations, such as private hotel rooms, apartments, or guesthouses with private bathrooms, winter pricing is usually somewhere around $700–1,400 for five nights, while summer can jump to $1,200–2,000+. And yes, summer pricing really can get that high. If you're considering a camper van, that can sometimes help reduce accommodation costs, though prices vary dramatically depending on the vehicle and the season. I always recommend booking accommodations as early as possible for summer travel. Honestly, if you can plan a year in advance, that's ideal. Six months minimum is usually what I suggest if possible. Rental Cars Cost & Iceland's New Road Tax If you're planning to leave Reykjavík, I strongly recommend considering a rental car because it gives you so much flexibility. Winter rental prices for a smaller car are often around $120–150 per day, while SUVs are closer to $170–180 per day. In summer, smaller cars can easily be $150–200+, and SUVs can go even higher depending on the size and capability of the vehicle. For a five-day trip, many travelers spend somewhere between $600–1,200+ once you include gas and insurance. And there's another thing travelers now need to budget for. Starting in 2026, Iceland implemented a kilometer-based road tax system that applies to vehicles, including rental cars. Iceland Kilometer Fee Information Most travelers won't calculate this themselves because rental companies typically include it either as a per-kilometer fee or as a flat daily charge. For example, Go Car Rental Iceland currently charges approximately €10.50 per day as a flat mandatory road tax fee. Fuel prices in Iceland have lowered somewhat since the road tax was introduced, but global events still impact fuel pricing significantly. How to Save on Renting a Car & Camper Van in Iceland Through my discount links with Go Car Rental Iceland and Go Campers, you can save 7% on your rental. Go Car also includes free 4G WiFi, while Go Campers includes a free sleeping bag. And honestly, the WiFi is incredibly useful because you can check weather, road conditions, maps, email, WhatsApp, and social media while driving around Iceland You can head to gorentals.is/allthingsiceland Once you enter your travel dates, the 7% discount is automatically applied. For Go Car:When you get to the extras section, select 4G WiFi. You'll see the price stays the same, even though it has been added.  For Go Campers:Choose a sleeping bag under the “extras” section, and same thing, the total price won't increase. And just so you know, using my link gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's one of the ways you're supporting All Things Iceland and the content I create. So thank you for that. The Hidden Expense in Iceland that Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Many waterfalls, black sand beaches, scenic viewpoints, geothermal areas, and hiking spots now charge for parking. This is especially in popular areas like the Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and downtown Reykjavík. I've seen this change a lot over the years since I moved here in 2016. There were many places that used to have completely free parking, but because of the increase in tourism, road maintenance, parking lot maintenance, and of course landowners wanting to make money, parking fees have become much more common. I usually recommend budgeting around $80 USD total for parking during a 5-day trip depending on how much driving you're doing. You can also use the Parka app to look up parking fees in advance, which can help a lot with planning. If you're unsure where to go or how to organize your route efficiently, I highly recommend checking out My Iceland Map on Rexby. It includes 350+ personally recommended locations around Iceland that I've visited and enjoyed myself. Food Costs in Iceland Food absolutely adds up in Iceland if you eat every meal out. A casual restaurant meal is usually around $20–35 per person, while a nicer dinner can easily be $40–80+. Coffee and a pastry are often around $10–15, and cocktails in Reykjavík can easily cost over $20 each. For five days, I'd say a budget traveler who cooks some meals or makes sandwiches could probably spend around $150–300, while a mid-range traveler who eats out more regularly could spend around $300–700+. One of my favorite budget hacks is booking accommodations with breakfast included. Then you can eat a larger breakfast, make sandwiches or grab snacks for later, and only pay for dinner out. For groceries, Bónus is generally the cheapest option, while Krónan is another great alternative. And surprisingly, IKEA Iceland is one of the cheapest places to sit down and eat a full meal in Iceland. I’m not suggesting that you eat at IKEA every day but I just think it is fun to share that random information. What to Budget for Activities & Tours in Iceland This category really depends on what type of traveler you are. Some people are perfectly happy exploring waterfalls, scenic drives, geothermal areas, and hiking trails, which can keep costs relatively low. Others want glacier hikes, snorkeling, whale watching, ice caves, and snowmobiling. All of these activities can add up quickly. The Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon are generally around $100–150+, glacier hikes are around $100–200+, whale watching tours around $118–150+, and ice cave tours can range from $150–300+ depending on the experience. One of my favorite lower-cost alternatives to the major lagoons is going to a local swimming pool like Laugardalslaug. It has Olympic-sized pools, hot tubs, a cold plunge, slides, and it gives you a chance to experience Icelandic swimming pool culture alongside locals for a fraction of the cost of the lagoons. And if you love museums, there are actually certain times of year when you can visit many for free during events like Winter Lights Festival in February and Menningarnótt (Culture Night) in August. Use Discount Codes & Links to Save Money in Iceland One of the easiest ways to save money in Iceland is by not paying full price when you don't have to. My free Iceland Discount Code Bundle includes discounts for rental cars, camper vans, tours, activities, hotels, outerwear, and more. Most tour discounts are around 10% off, and when you apply those savings across multiple activities, it really does make a noticeable difference in your final trip budget. Always Leave Room for Unexpected Costs This is honestly one of my biggest Iceland budgeting tips overall: always leave room for flexibility. Weather changes quickly in Iceland, and road conditions can shift plans unexpectedly. That could mean rerouting, staying somewhere an extra night, changing accommodations, or adjusting activities because of storms or warnings. Whenever possible, I recommend keeping a few hundred dollars of flexibility in your budget if you can. It just makes the trip feel significantly less stressful. Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budget by Season For winter travel between November and March (excluding holidays), a budget traveler is usually looking at around $1,300–2,000, while a mid-range traveler is closer to $1,800–2,700. Winter tends to be cheaper because hotel demand is lower, rental cars are less expensive, and there are fewer crowds. The trade-off, of course, is less daylight and more unpredictable weather. For summer, budget travelers are usually spending around $1,800–3,000, while mid-range travelers are closer to $2,500–4,000+. Summer costs rise because of peak tourism demand, midnight sun season, easier travel conditions, Highlands access, and limited accommodations. The biggest reason I wanted to make this episode was honestly to help people manage expectations. Iceland can absolutely be expensive. But once you understand how seasonality works, where your biggest expenses are, and how to budget realistically, it becomes much easier to create a trip that works for your finances and travel style. And honestly, being informed ahead of time makes Iceland feel so much less overwhelming. The Random Fact of the Episode Did you know that Iceland has around 41 active volcanic systems — including volcanoes beneath the ocean? According to Náttúra Íslands (Natt.is), a volcano is considered “active” if it has erupted within the last 11,000–12,000 years, which is actually pretty recent in geological terms. The most active volcanic system in Iceland is called Grímsvötn, located in Southeast Iceland. It has erupted on average about once every decade over the last thousand years. Meanwhile, Iceland's largest volcanic system is Bárðarbunga, and many of the country's enormous lava fields were created from eruptions there. What's also fascinating is that volcanic systems in Iceland are often made up of: a central volcano, plus a fissure swarm, all connected to a shared underground magma chamber deep within the Earth's crust. Which honestly explains why Iceland can sometimes feel like you're standing on another planet. Icelandic Word of the Episode ferðakostnaður — travel expenses or cost of travel Pronunciation: FEHR-tha-kost-na-thur This felt like the perfect word for this episode because honestly… that's exactly what we've been talking about the entire time.  In Icelandic: ferð = trip/journey kostnaður = cost/expense So together: ferðakostnaður = the cost of traveling. Example: “Ferðakostnaður á Íslandi getur verið hár á sumrin.” “Travel costs in Iceland can be high during the summer.” And trust me… Icelanders definitely understand this too, especially when traveling around their own country during peak season.

From Offer to Closing Table: What Sellers Need to Know After Accepting an Offer Accepting an offer on your home is exciting but it is far from the finish line. Once an offer is accepted, there are still many important steps, deadlines, inspections, and responsibilities that sellers need to navigate before reaching the closing table. During a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace discussed exactly what happens after an accepted offer and why communication, organization, and preparation are key to a smooth transaction. Whether you are selling your first home or your fifth, understanding the timeline from accepted offer to closing can help reduce stress and avoid costly mistakes. Understanding the Timeline After an Accepted Offer In Massachusetts, real estate transactions are typically a two-contract process: The Offer to Purchase The Purchase & Sales Agreement (P&S) Once the offer is accepted, buyers and sellers generally have about 7–10 days to complete inspections, negotiate any issues, and sign the formal Purchase & Sales Agreement. According to Sharon McNamara: “These timelines are put in place to keep everyone on track with the contract.” Missing deadlines can create major issues, especially when deposits and contingencies are involved. Step 1: Carefully Review the Accepted Offer Not all offers are created equal. Melissa Wallace explained that some offer forms contain additional clauses, appliance requests, contingencies, or terms hidden throughout multiple pages of paperwork. That is why reviewing every detail matters. Sellers Should Confirm: Closing date Deposit amounts Financing terms Home inspection timelines Included appliances or fixtures Pool equipment or outdoor items Furniture requests Contingencies and deadlines Sometimes buyers request items sellers never intended to leave behind. As Sharon explained, things like garage refrigerators, wine fridges, or additional appliances can accidentally become part of the deal if they are not properly excluded upfront. Step 2: Prepare for the Home Inspection In Massachusetts, buyers generally have the right to conduct a home inspection after an accepted offer. While the inspection is for the buyer, sellers still have responsibilities during this stage. Sellers Should: Provide clear access to the property Ensure access to: Electrical panels Basements Crawl spaces Attics Heating systems Water heaters Secure pets or arrange for them to be out of the home Avoid being present during the inspection when possible Melissa Wallace noted that buyers and inspectors need to feel comfortable fully evaluating the property. Home Inspections Do Not Have to Be Negative One important point from the discussion was that inspections are not meant to “attack” a home. Inspectors are simply identifying the current condition of the property. Sometimes sellers are genuinely surprised by issues discovered during inspections. As Sharon explained: “If I had known that was a situation with my house, I would have taken care of it.” Inspections often uncover: Minor repairs Maintenance items Deferred upkeep Electrical concerns Plumbing issues Moisture or mold concerns The key is communication and realistic expectations. Step 3: Responding to Inspection Requests After the inspection, buyers may request: Repairs Credits Price reductions Additional documentation Service records Clarification about systems or upgrades This begins another phase of negotiation. Melissa emphasized the importance of staying organized and keeping documentation for all repairs and maintenance completed on the property. Keep Records For: Roof work HVAC servicing Electrical repairs Plumbing work Pool equipment Septic systems Appliance installations Receipts and invoices can become extremely valuable during negotiations and even after closing. Step 4: Appraisal & Mortgage Process If the buyer is financing the home, the lender will require an appraisal. Sellers should: Allow easy access for the appraiser Keep the property presentable Continue maintaining the home during the transaction Even if the house is partially packed, Sharon noted that sellers should make it easy for appraisers to move throughout the home efficiently. Why Mortgage Commitment Dates Matter One of the most important dates in the transaction is the buyer's mortgage commitment date. This is the date the lender confirms they are officially committed to funding the loan. Sharon explained that missing this deadline can put the buyer's deposit at risk and potentially jeopardize the transaction. That is why experienced agents carefully monitor every contractual deadline throughout the process. Step 5: Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Inspections Massachusetts sellers are responsible for obtaining a valid smoke and carbon monoxide certificate before closing. Important Seller Tips: Smoke certificates are generally valid for 60 days Some towns have stricter local requirements Certain towns require: Smoke detectors in every bedroom Heat detectors in garages Additional hardwired systems Melissa Wallace emphasized the importance of checking detector ages before scheduling inspections. Yellowing detectors or outdated systems often fail inspection. Waiting until the last minute can create unnecessary delays if electricians or repairs are needed. Step 6: Final Water Readings & Utility Coordination As closing approaches, sellers must coordinate: Final water readings Sewer adjustments Utility transfers Oil readings Municipal electric accounts (in some towns) Every town handles these items differently. For example: Some towns require final water bills paid before closing Others prorate balances at closing Some require separate certificates sent directly to closing attorneys This is one of the many “behind-the-scenes” responsibilities agents help manage throughout the transaction. Oil Adjustments & Utility Responsibilities If a property uses oil heat, sellers are expected to maintain oil in the tank through closing. At closing: The oil tank is measured Buyers reimburse sellers for remaining fuel As Sharon joked during the show: “I'm waiting for the day someone says, ‘I don't want your oil.'” But maintaining utilities through closing is important because shutting systems off too early can damage equipment or create issues during the buyer's final walkthrough. Communication Is Everything One of the biggest themes throughout the episode was the importance of communication between: Sellers Buyers Agents Attorneys Lenders Inspectors Delays, missed updates, or lack of communication can create confusion and unnecessary stress. Sharon stressed that strong communication keeps everyone on the same page and helps transactions stay on track. Final Thoughts From inspections and appraisals to smoke certificates and utility transfers, there are many moving pieces between an accepted offer and closing day. The good news? With experienced guidance, proactive planning, and strong communication, sellers can navigate the process confidently and successfully.

There are places in Iceland that are easy to visit. And then there are places that require a bit more effort, but reward you in ways you honestly don't expect. I'm sharing 5 places across the country that are absolutely worth the detour. These aren't your typical Golden Circle stops. These are the kinds of places that make people say: “Wait… THIS was in Iceland?!” If you're planning a trip and want to go beyond the basics, this list is for you. Table of Contents How to Reach These Places (Car & Camper Van Tips) Látrabjarg (Westfjords) Seyðisfjörður (East Iceland) Hveradalir (Highlands) Plan Your Trip with My Iceland Map Westman Islands / Vestmannaeyjar (South Iceland) Siglufjörður (North Iceland) Sample Route Using These 5 Detours Random Fact of the Episode Icelandic Word of the Episode How to Reach These Places (And Save on Your Rental) Let's be real for a second. To visit places like these, especially the Westfjords, Highlands, and North Iceland, you'll need your own vehicle. Public transport won't get you to most of these locations, and guided tours often don't go this far off the beaten path. That's where having the right rental car or camper van makes all the difference. I personally use and recommend: Go Car Rental Iceland Go Campers I've partnered with them for years because: They have a wide variety of vehicles (from small cars to fully equipped campers) Their customer service is amazing And they make it easy to travel around Iceland confidently How to Save + Get Free Extras When you use my link:gorentals.is/allthingsiceland You'll automatically get: 7% off your rental Plus some really helpful extras Here's exactly what to do: For Go Car Rental: Click the link and enter your travel dates The 7% discount is automatically applied When you get to “Insurance & Extras” Select 4G WiFiYou'll see the price does not increase, it stays the same For Go Campers: Click the same link and choose your camper The 7% discount is automatically applied Under the “Sleeping” section Select a sleeping bag Again, the price stays the same It's one of those little things that makes a big difference when you're traveling around Iceland. 1. Látrabjarg (Westfjords) If you're craving something remote, raw, and wildly beautiful, this is it. Látrabjarg is the westernmost point of Iceland, and is known for its dramatic sea cliffs and incredible birdlife. Why Látrabjarg worth the detour: One of the best places in Iceland to see puffins up close Massive cliffs stretching for kilometers A true “edge of the world” feeling Important tips: The road can be rough, so take it slow Best visited in summer (June–mid August for puffins) Not recommended in winter, late fall or early spring. You can use a 2wd to get here but a 4×4 makes the trip easier and smoother. This is exactly the type of destination where having the right vehicle matters. 2. Seyðisfjörður (East Iceland) This town feels like stepping into a completely different side of Iceland. The drive into Seyðisfjörður alone is unforgettable. The winding road down a mountain pass into a peaceful fjord surrounded by waterfalls is incredible. What makes Seyðisfjörður special: Eclectic, artistic vibe The iconic
