What you need to know before your trail
Sarah Moss had spent a great summer in Iceland at the age of 19 and so had always dreamt of living there one day
In 2009, she saw an advertisement for a job at the University of Iceland and applied on a whim, despite having two young children and a comfortable life in Kent.
This book is an account of her adventures. And what adventures she had!
Travel Guide
Not your typical travelogue – a whole year spent exploring every nook and cranny of a country from someone who is love with that country and who thrives on the pleasure of travel in itself provides a much more in depth and insightful account of a country. Spending most of her time in Rejkvavik with several trips made up and down the country, Sarah makes a concerted effort to explore and discover the Icelandic culture and people. A year gives her much more time than your average traveller to come across some real gems and insights. Whether is be the food, the literature or the shopping habits of the people she meets, this is a true exploration of someone looking in from the outside.
The Iceland National Museum is a great place to start any trail – thjodminjasafn.is
