RE: My Life's Journey - Update On My Brother's Adventure to Iceland - Found A New Job
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!
