Jenna Gottlieb

Originally from New York City, Jenna Gottlieb fell in love with Iceland in 2006 on a spur-of-the-moment getaway. During that trip, there were many firsts: her first time riding a horse, walking behind a waterfall, and tasting the local delicacy "rotten shark." She survived and continued to return, permanently relocating to Iceland in 2012.

While researching and writing this book, Jenna discovered new favorites and revisited old haunts. Her favorite experiences in Iceland include puffin watching, hiking in the north, and spending as much time in the West Fjords as possible.

A freelance writer specializing in travel, business, and lifestyle, Jenna has contributed to the Associated Press, Euronews, CNN Travel, The Independent, and The New European, among others. You can see some of her published work at jennakgottlieb.com.
