A wonderful day in Reykjavík (Video)

Hello dear readers

Unfortunately we’ve been busy working our respective jobs for the last week so we haven’t found much time to do many activities or produce new content for you but that’s hopefully all about to change in the coming weeks.

I’m at work right now, which is a shame because the weather is absolutely wonderful outside right now. But I stepped outside from my desk job for a little bit to give you a little sneak peek of what you can expect if you decide to travel to Iceland and what you’re missing out on right now.

This is the first video we put up on our Youtube channel, www.youtube.com/genuineiceland and you can expect a lot more use out of that channel in the coming months so you should subscribe if you don’t want to miss out on our videos this summer.

If you have any special requests on what you want to see on our Youtube channel, don’t hesitate to contact us because after all this is all done for you, our readers.

Top 5 festivals in Iceland

Icelandic festivals seem to be as many as the hairs on my head, so it can often be difficult to seperate the good from the bad, or lets say the very best from the good, that’s of course where we come in.

After a long discussion and a lot of arguing, we’ve finally managed to come to a decision as we present to you the top 5 festivals in Iceland.

Please note that we decided in the end to make it the main rule that the top five festivals couldn’t be at the same time, so that you can enjoy all of them without dates colliding. Continue reading

Tip of the day: Rock the campsite this summer!

Good day Genuine Iceland supporters! What great day this is. The sun is up, it’s not windy out, and behold! A new Genuine Iceland post is up on the site. We’ve been working very hard recently planning the summer, and I have to say, things are promising. We will be keeping you posted about that information on our facebook page, and our twitter as well. We trust that you have liked and followed both ;)

Now, on to today’s main event. This article. You should remember that we posted an earlier article about camping in Iceland. We thought we’d take it a bit further now and give you some help with Icelanders favorite activity whilst camping.

Yes, you guessed it! We’re talking campsite singing!
