Hi, I’m Alaa Assaf, and I’m excited to welcome you! I’ve always been passionate about meeting new people, sharing stories, and creating memorable experiences for travellers. Hosting allows me to combine my love for travel / culture / food / nature with the joy of making others feel at home.
A little about me: I come from a creative profession of Baking , was originally from Palestine and I’ve always enjoyed exploring both the well-known highlights and the hidden gems of my surroundings. When I’m not hosting, you’ll often find me your hobbies – Baking .
What makes me different as a host is the personal touch. I love tailoring recommendations to your interests—whether it’s where to find the best local dishes, secret viewpoints off the tourist trail, or unique cultural experiences most visitors miss. I believe it’s those insider tips that turn a trip from “good” into “unforgettable.”
For me, hosting isn’t just about offering a place or a tour—it’s about sharing a piece of my world with you. I’d love to help you experience Iceland in a way that feels authentic, warm, and memorable.
