    Description

    Hello from Iceland

    We are a small family in Hafnarfjörður Reykjavik and have two children
    9 years and 19 years old.

    In December I mainly need help christmas decorating, baking cookies, Christmas crafting and helping in the house and cooking... Preferably beginning of December until 15. 12 or longer.

    We are speaking German and Icelandic at home so if you speak German that would make the communication with the kids easier 😃

    We look forward to hearing from you

    best regards Jessi and family

    Accommodation and food

    Reykjavík's old town is small and easy to walk around. The houses have some very distinct features, most notably their brightly colored corrugated metal siding. Plan to spend at least a couple hours just wandering around, taking in the city. And for further feasts of the eyes, there are several museums and art galleries in the city, most of them within easy reach of the downtown area.
