Icelandic beer, the Northern Lights, paddle boarding near a volcano and snorkeling over the tectonic plates, before enjoying a black death. It's not just why mums go to Iceland

When you mention Iceland, you can't help but think of the Northern Lights. But, there's so much more to this beautiful country! We thought what better place to start our journey around the world in search of mental wealth, than the land of fire and ice. Learn all about how a visit there can truly benefit your mental health and wellbeing.

Highlights of this episode include:

The Northern Lights, and how the locals will help you avoid missing them!
The joys of paddle boarding.
Why eating rotten food in this country is not frowned upon. But it will cause you to suffer from 'black death' - or as the locals call it, "Brennivin"!
Scuba diving between tectonic plates that are actually still moving!

Why don't you grab yourself a beer, and imagine yourself in a wonderful Icelandic hot tub, as you listen to Rannveig tell you all about this terrific place that you should definitely be adding to your journey, when you go in search of mental wealth.

How surfers and skateboarders can easily swap the spray and streets for the snow.
The many benefits of snowboarding for mental health.
Why age shouldn't hold you back from taking up the challenge of snowboarding.
Why you need to get on Google maps and find an indoor snow slope (not a dry one!)
Her suggested and personal favourite snowboarding spots.

In her nine-to-five, Kate is an NHS management consultant who applies her experience to help create lasting positive change within systems and people.

Kate also spreads the positivity outside of the NHS, using her skills as a certified professional and performance coach, helping private clients to achieve more than they thought possible.
