Safety in Iceland by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Iceland? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...

Where are you from? If you are from an EEA country you can look at Ninukot, it is as far as I know the only organisation for work and travel in Iceland see ninukot.is/index.php?id=266 . The visa requirements for non EEA citizens are very strict, you ... Read More

According to the website there is a programme fee of 595€, for things like pick up, orientation, help with paperwork etc. The good thing going with Ninukot is that you are a worker (and paid!), not a volunteer, which gives you a lot of ... Read More

Healthcare in Iceland by Julien
Hi, how does the healthcare system work in Iceland ? Is it efficient ? What are the main differences between public and private sectors? Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in Iceland? Thanks in advance for sharing ...

The health care system in Iceland is a NHS style system, which means everyone is covered by the celandic Health Insurance (sjukra.is), which is financed via taxes. There is (thank god!) no private system to speak of, except for dental care, which is ... Read More

Hi all, We invite you to talk about the cost of living in Iceland in 2015, with an updated price listing. Don't forget to mention in which city of Iceland you are living in. How much does it cost to live in Iceland? > accommodation ...

Accommodation prices The renting market in ReykjavÃk is insane. Partly because of bad (or no) city planning, partly because people rent out to tourists via AirBnB (tine.pagekite.me/?viewDetailed=00120), a website I came to detest when looking for a ... Read More

I heard there is a facebook group called something like "housing in Reykjavik" (I'm not on facebook), where you could maybe find rooms. It might seem strange to use facebook for this, but Icelandic people use facebook for everything. ... Read More
