  Description

  Hello and welcome! We are Ingibjörg Sesselja (39), Ragnar Aron (39), and our son Esjar Ingi (6). We reside in the town of Keflavík, nestled on the Reykjanes peninsula in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by friends and family. We’re fortunate to be just 35 minutes away from Reykjavík, offering both tranquility and easy access to the capital’s vibrancy.
  
  Iceland is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, and living here feels like a daily adventure in one of nature’s most stunning playgrounds. From the awe-inspiring waterfalls and geysers to the tranquil fjords and rejuvenating hot springs, the landscapes around us are truly a feast for the senses.
  
  Although this is our first time hosting on Workaway, we bring with us a wealth of experiences from living abroad and traveling extensively. We are excited to open our doors to new cultures and experiences, viewing this as a wonderful opportunity to learn from our guests while sharing the rich tapestry of Icelandic traditions and our way of life. We can’t wait to embark on this cultural exchange journey with you, creating meaningful connections and unforgettable memories.
