Shall we guess that Arnaud will make your company there?

Interesting. Is it nice to visit? What's there to see?

Man, did you miss Wikipedia?

Volcanos, ash, lava, hot springs and ice..

 

[Kian]

I really shouldn't be toying with this idea, but maybe. I'll be on a million interviews in April/May so if I know where I'm working a few weeks before this I may just come. I would love to visit Iceland.

I already talked to Hilmar, so I hope I'm good

But Sunday it would be nice with some sightseeing in Reykjavik, or a little tour with a private guide
I think Ron, Hanneke and others also would like to see some of the capital.

 

[Tyson]

I'd really want to see Iceland as well. You should do a hakarl mystery puzzle.

I am super tempted to come, I always wanted to visit Iceland !
There are some not too bad tickets for about 200euros from Köln. If I come I would make it my "backpacking trip of the summer" as I can't really join Arnaud is Asia anymore now I would probably stay for 2 weeks minimum, probably 3 and try to visit as much as possible, hitchhiking around the whole island, going hiking in the national parks etc and mostly wild camping or couchsurfing. I am mostly wanting some awesome nature rather than stay indoors.
So : if any of you Icelanders have any tips for this, it would be very welcome ! This includes places I should visit, hitchhiking tips, where to get the cheap food, cheap places to stay (maybe you/some of your family would want to host me ?), *insert whatever you want here*.

It isn't 100% sure yet but this would probably be a super awesome trip !

Did anybody plan on visiting stuff for the time they were staying there yet ?
