Copenhagen...

I'm coming to Copenhagen on 2. november!!! I can't wait, it's gonna be fantastic. See you soon!

A few photos for you

The swimming pool at Seljavellir is an amazing place to visit. If you come to Iceland I promise to show you this well hidden secret!
From Reynisfjara you can see the very special cliffs of Dyrhólaey, with a hole in it. A famous man here in Iceland has actually flown through the hole in his airplane. The sea was crazy that day, unbelievably beautiful!

Me and my friend Ásdís by the waterfall Skógarfoss in the southeast of Iceland.

Sitting in the very special cliffs, the type is called "stuðlaberg", in Reynisfjara in the southeast of Iceland. From the trip to Hvammur, when the sea almost ate us.

New blog.. for news.

Hello beautiful people. I hope you haven´t forgotten me even though I've sucked at that myspace thing... I don´t like that system, not for me thank you. Instead I thougt to myself that this would be a nice way to let people I know around the world, know what I'm up to.

So here I am, at home in Iceland once again. It wasn´t easy coming home I can tell you. I just wasn´t ready for it in some weird way. But hey.. That´s just a better reason to go somewhere again!! I was working for the summer in an old peoples home, mostly night shifts which were booooring but they paid well. The old people were nice of course but many of them were getting so mentally unstable that it wasn´t an easy job.
I started learning "pædagog" in the beginning of September. The day after I started I applied for the University, to start learning Spanish. The other studies were just not for me so I quit all of my subjects except one, developmental psychology, and am now studying Spanish, and loving it. It suits me a lot better and it gives an amazing oppurtunity to travel. Which is a big thing for me right now. I actually can´t wait to pack my backpack and just leave. It´s really a bummer to live in an island in the middle of nowhere... All the flights are so expensive, and I don´t think I´m going to sail anywhere... Just to make that clear.

I´m working in a nice café in downtown Reykjavík every other weekend. The job is nice but the café is so busy that I can´t move my legs after work... From standing and running up and down stairs with trays filled with dirty dishes for 8 hours straight. Soon I´ll begin learning to make coffee and become a coffe bartender. That was of course the main reason I began working there.
Well, summer was here in Iceland for a few days. It was one of the rainiest summers in years and it was really cold as well. When I landed here, coming from England, in the middle of July it was 5°C on the meter... And I froze my ass off. But the nights were bright and the summer was of course beautiful as always.
In the first weekend of August I went to the north of Iceland with three of my friends and we stayed in a tent in a beatiful place at Lake Mývatn for three days. The weather was great and we had a wonderful time walking on one of the biggest volcano craters in the world, taking a bath in naturally warm water (all blue and full of mud), looking at the geysers and the Dark Castles, a kind of elf city (or that was believed in earlier years, although it´s very easy to imagine some other life living there) made of lava from an old volcano eruption.

Since I started school I´ve been active hiking as well... Because you see, we actually have mountains here in Iceland. A week ago me and a few friends walked up to the highest waterfall in Iceland, the weather was beautiful, the trees yellow and red from the autumn, and blueberries to eat all over the place. It was a great day.
Two weeks before that we went up to the countryside, an hour away from Reykjavík, to a house that my friend's family owns. We went to the sea, which was crazy that day, and almost got eaten by it. My friend Una got wet all the way up to her back, I got water into my boots because I couldn´t run for laughing. We went swimming in a really old swimming pool with naturally warm water, which is built in a very special way. One of the walls of the swimming pool is just rocks and then there is the mountain right beside you. We also went to the beautiful waterfall of Skógarfoss and saw the most amazing rainbow.

So, looking back... I have had a great time since I got home, even though I miss Denmark a lot. I hope I can make some money soon to be able to visit you down there in the big flatness.

I´m putting some photos in for you very soon, so you can see what you´re missing, being in Denmark but not in Iceland!!
See you:)
