Come experience life with an Icelandic family

Description

We are a family of three and also have a dog and a cat in the house. We live in a small town called Sauðárkrókur in the north side of Iceland. We have some horses. We can use all kinds of help and we also love to meet new people. If you are interested in being a part of our family for a short time and see the beautiful landscape there is to see around us, please contact us :)

Accommodation

You would have a room of your own down stairs in our house and of course have access to other parts of the house as needed.

What else ...

We are close to many historic places, for example Hólar í Hjaltadal, Grettislaug and Glaumbær. And since the country isn't so big it doesn't take much time to drive around a bit to see something else. The volunteers have a chance to learn the icelandic language and be part of our family.
