Good for you, Skarpi, for taking this time as an opportunity for a new adventure! I have some friends who, in their mid-sixties, have just joined the Peace Corps.

Thinking of you and your wife, and wishing you both the very best as you contemplate what's next!

35 degrees Celsius here last week, and that's in autumn, so if you want somewhere warm, try Northern Australia.

Best of luck in your next life adventure! I hope the job in Norway comes through for you. You're quite right: faith in yourself counts for plenty. You have great energy and you're positive about the future so I have no doubt you'll succeed.

Skarpi, I greatly enjoyed the April 2011 issue of National Geographic's TRAVELER which has a 10-page article on Iceland complete with numerous photos.

A lot of places in the world must seem tame after living in Iceland!

Good luck to you and Gunna, whatever you do Skarpi. Don't forget, moving to another country doesn't have to be permanent - things may improve in Iceland. I'm not sure things are that good anywhere right now - but Norway sounds nice. It's cold there, but you're used to that!

I left my homeland at 25 and it was very exciting. Immigrated to the US just before Reagan was elected, and everything went downhill from there. I am now 56 and thinking about it again... but it's a lot scarier at our age. I wish you the best of luck.

Cheers,
Michael

Well Skarpi, you and Gunna are always welcome here, you know that.
I suspect there's even less work round here, than there is round your area, though!

Skarpi... I wish you all the best. Take care of you and yours my friend.

Looking at this as an adventure is a great idea. I sincerely hope it is a great adventure. You are one the good guys... and a hell of a musician and singer. Whatever country you end up in will benefit from you being there.
