    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You would see the icelandic country culture and you could learn how to plant trees, build cabins, take care of horses and just how we do things in our family.

  • Help

    Help

    We are planning to clean the area a little bit and get rid of some old fences and we also have to put some new fences down. We are also planting some trees and building small cabins. We have horses on the farm which need to be taken care of. You might be asked to do a little housework such as cooking, and cleaning, but no more than the rest of the family. You would just be a part of the family.
