Hello!

My name is Matt or Mathieu.
French by passport. Icelandic by weather exposure.

For fifteen years, I worked in Iceland’s tourism world, most of that time as a guide.

I’ve driven the ring road during crazy storms, hiked in sideways rain, crossed highlands that don’t show up on postcards and navigated through every small alleys there is to see in Reykjavik.

I don’t just focus on the highlights. I try to create experiences, relating to my own stories as an expat in Iceland.

I know how the light changes before a storm, why the moss matters or how sounds a freshy created lava field.

Guiding, for me, was never about listing facts. It was about timing, tone, and those little legends that make the difference.

We say that Icelandic weather is constantly changing: I do hope people feel the same about my guiding: adapting and evolving with the crowd.

If you’re looking for checklists, I believe Google can do a good job, but if you are looking to feel the place, the history under the basalt, the tales that hunt a place, the absurd beauty of it all: then I believe I am your guy :)

Let’s go beyond the highlights!
