RE: My Life's Journey - Update On My Brother's Adventure to Iceland - Found A New Job
Iceland is beautiful! I have been to Reykjavik and the surrounding area. Where is he? That is a trick we learned in school.
Iceland is green and Greenland is ice. LOL
Don't worry, they get plenty of winters! The photos are stunning and I hope he loves the sky! The most amazing pictures of the sky come from there! It was a huge leap of faith and I am so happy that He has provided for him and his wife to be.
I love it when stories work out like this!!! I raise my glass to his wonderful successes!!!

My brother is in Akureyri. It is about 6 hour drive from Reykjavik.
Well, that is one neat trick. 😂😂😂
Yes, he told me soon they are coming to the time of only sun or only nights. I am not sure which one for a longer period of time. But he told me he does not care. He will get use to it.
I am incredibly happy it has turned out amazing for him. He is truly a great person and he deserves it. So I am joining with you to his success and to your wonderful comment. 🍷

I am not sure he could have picked a better town! I LOVED Akureyri!!! There is so much to do and see there, this is the month they have their Summer Games and there are museums and a Christmas Village (or used to be)
I think it is one of the most progressive towns! I love the Icelandic people and the darkness and light did not bother me at all. Of all the countries he could have picked, I honestly think he chose well.
Separated by the fact it is an island, I think it lends itself for less crime, less violence... less everything. The people are well-educated and very modern.
Good for him!!! That and the view of the Northern Lights - well, that just captivated my soul. Don't visit him, you may want to stay!!! ;)
He is loving there as well. He actually was most impressed about how nice and welcoming were people to him. They helped him a lot in his search for a job as well.
I think they really don't have much problem with crime and violence. They also live in high standard. Food and living is a bit expensive but with the salaries they give they can afford it easily.
And, yes I can't wait for him to send me Northern lights photos. That will be amazing and I will for sure share it here with all of you. 😀

Just like most of the Nordic countries, their standard of living is high. And their benefits many. It is enviable by most.
I call it a draw. Expensive to live, but, salaries to compensate. Win-win!
Oh I think it is more like win win win win situation for my brother now. 😀

I agree with you! He couldn't have picked a nicer place!
