She is originally from California and now living in Iceland, Kyana Sue Powers.
Kyana Sue Powers is an outdoor photographer specializing in adventure and lifestyle.
Kyana was working in college athletics in Boston when she took a spontaneous trip to Iceland in 2018.
Not long after, she made a life-changing decision—she quit her job, sold her belongings, and bought a one-way ticket back to Iceland, where she now lives full-time.
She’s passionate about connecting with like-minded people and brands who share a love for adventure.
Kyana shared about:
- Kyana originally moved to Iceland hoping to find a regular job in the city, but quickly discovered how difficult it is for U.S. citizens to get hired there due to strict visa requirements.
- She emphasizes that her journey started before platforms like TikTok or Instagram Reels were popular, and that anyone could make a similar life change by being brave.
- Kyana shares that while she doesn’t make rigid long-term plans, she and her partner are focused on enjoying life, growing their new store, and possibly opening a storefront in downtown Reykjavik in the future.
