Like A Foreigner In The Land Of My Birth →
For all of you asking about immigrating to Iceland, here’s a good read. Karen saw an opportunity in Iceland’s need for programmers and is in the process of moving to Iceland. Lots of bureaucratic hindrances on the way, but they simply make her more determined.
Having to return to the US for 2 months due to some bureaucratic nonsense, she feels like a foreigner in her own country.

Camera found in Iceland - Do you know the owners?
Edit: It worked! The news of the lost camera wound up on most big Icelandic news websites (vísir, dv). Eventually somebody posted it on Reddit. As usually happens on Reddit, several hundred people had something to say on the matter and thereof was one of the couple’s friends. It’s a small world after all.
A girl found a Canon Powershot SD 1000 camera in a black Case Logic case at the...

Björk interviews minimalists
Björk has done more on TV than talk about her TV. In 1997 she did interviews with minimalist musicians, including Arvo Pärt, Alasdair Malloy and Mika Vainio.
When Björk says “I think sometimes the role of a person who makes music is to take these everyday noises that are ugly and make them beautiful. And by this they are doing magic.” it reminds me of Björk’s own industrial...

caughtunawares asked: Hello,
I saw your post about Iceland universities.
I live in the United States as well and I have a question.
I read somewhere that in order to visit Iceland, you have to have some sort of tourist visa. If you want to live there, you have to have a worker's visa. What about if you go to school there? Do you still have to apply for some kind of visa?
Thank you!

ajourneyhome asked: Hi there, I saw your post about wild camping in Iceland, but was wondering about camper van camping. Not to drive off into a field, but is it allowed to just park in a parking lot or area for the night? Is that feasable? We're accustomed to leave no trace techniques so we'd be concious of that in the camper van as well. Also, would you happen to know if we're going to find...
