Description
My name is Anna Katrín and I work as rural planner. We are fore in the family, me, my husband (Björgvin) and two sons. We are like many other Icelander little bit chaotic, plan at short notice an everything is based on the weather, which is always changing. Over the years, we have worked on many things, and when you live in a rural area it is good to know and be able to do many things. But when you have lot of ideas and a very long to do list, everything seems to be going slowly. So, it would be so great to get some help and be able to cross something off the list.
We live in a small town Egilsstaðir, east of Icland. Even though the town is small, we have so much e.g. domestic airport, swimming pool, spa, shops, sport center, museum and parks. Then it is very short to natur and all the beautiful places.
