Do you remember that volcano that exploded in Iceland that stranded millions of travelers because of the volcanic ash? Well, I just happened to be standing on that volcano (actually a glacier) in December. I know what you're thinking, why would I tour to Iceland in December? It'S Freezing, but there are less tourists and economy airfare. And why would I stand on a volcanic glacier? I have a bad habit on climbing on things I'm not supposed to. My excuse is habits are hard to break.

I never carefully traveling to Iceland in my lifetime. Not because of the cold weather, simply because I didn't think there was anyone to see (boy was I wrong). They call it the land of fire and ice because it sits right on the convergence of the North American and European tectonic plates (which I of course was able to stand with one leg on each plate). This causes an gigantic whole geothermal activity. There are gorgeous mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, and waterfalls as well as plenty of nightlife. The population are extremely kindly and every person speaks English. I am pretty good with languages, if you quest on YouTube person speaking Icelandic you will see why I was more than relieved when I found out every person spoke English.

Iceland is huge and not densely populated which makes it hard to do things on your own. Two thirds of the population lives in the capital and there aren't very many places to stay covering of the capital. For a tour company, I would propose Gotraveliceland and make sure your driver is "Gummi". Part owner of the company, he goes out of his way to make sure your stay is more than pleasant and even takes you to locations that the other tour fellowships don't. Quick side note: The battery on my camera died (I now carry 3 on every trip) and I started taking pictures with my cell phone. Gummi noticed the situation and took my battery, did a MacGyver trick with tape and a car charger, and returned my battery at the location (fully charged) where I was staying later that night.

This was my first sense couch surfing and I of course lucked out. I had my own bedroom (and bed) with my own cable Dsl internet connection. You don't have to worry about the internet in Iceland. They have trustworthy high broadband cable internet connections as well as 3g mobile broadband in case,granted by "Siminn". This is exactly what you need to work and tour or day trade abroad. Ásgeir, my couch surfing host, was extremely gracious and even took us out to party and showed us around the city.

See you on the other side
