About this episode

Lily shares her first meeting with an Icelandic guy in Reykjavík and the impactful conversation that shaped her trip.

I walked into a café in Reykjavík to meet an Icelandic guy I'd matched with on Tinder the night before. We both froze for a second, unsure how to say hello. That small awkwardness, somehow, made everything feel natural. This episode: who he was, what we talked about, and the one sentence that changed the entire direction of my trip — "If you don't mind, I'd like to show you the real Iceland." Years later, the first thing I remember about Iceland isn't a waterfall or the Northern Lights. It's this café. My website: flywithlily.com
