First Images


Hi friends!

This is my first post in the new blog about my experience in Iceland.


I decided to write in english in order to share it with more of my friends :) I am sure you can all understand it!

Has you know I am a volunteer in Iceland. I was accepted in a project of the European Voluntary Service which is one of the actions of the Youth in Action program from the European Comission.

Together with 12 other volunteers I will work for 6 months at Seeds, a non governamental icelandic organization. All of Seeds work is focused on the environment and we will be organizing and coordinating environmental work camps for short term volunteers coming from anywhere in the world.

The goals of these projects, lasting normally 2 weeks, are very diverse and can be for example cleaning the coast line, reflorestation, marking walking trails in natural parks. So we will be travelling a lot around the country.



Right now we are having 2 weeks of training and icelandic lessons. Everything is very well organized :) We are living at the Reykjavík Youth Hostel which is perfect.


So, I am waiting for your questions and comments :)

See you soon!
