Help guide tourists around a lava cave in Iceland
Description
We are a young couple that have a small tourist farm in Iceland. We are looking for people to participate in our exchange program. In the land of our farm lies one of the largest lava caves in the world, Víðgelmir. This lava cave is preserved and we are looking for a couple to help us with guided tours to the cave and other tasks regarding the tourist farm. The farm is located close to Langjökull glacier and it has many hiking paths, rivers, lakes, a waterfall, lava fields and horses. On your days off you will have a car to be able to travel around Iceland. In 2010 the tourist farm started supporting artistic projects.
As an exchange worker, you are a very important member of our farm and act as a representative of our organization to the community at large. For a better understanding of what you can expect as a volunteer and what is expected of you by our organization, we ask you to contact us, tell us about yourself and following that we can send you a contract with more detailed information of the exchange program.

The summer of 2011 was just perfect! We, as a couple, had a great time in Iceland! Lilian and Halldor are very nice young people to get to know and to work with! We stayed with them for 3 months and were a helping hand at the farm where there is always something going on!
Going to the cave as a guide, which was my main task, sounded as a more
