Why did you move to Iceland?

I really wanted to try living here, as I became fascinated with the land and its culture on my very first visit. Somehow, on my third visit, I miraculously found a great job and so decided to take the plunge. It's one of the best decisions I ever made.

Do you know where we could see pictures from Iceland?

Sounds fantastic Jared Did it take you a long time to find the job or not really?

Welcome Jared.
Wow, Iceland. For me, it even sounds like an utopia.

Julien,

Here are some pictures I took when I first moved here: http://tnight.net/folder-view.php?folder_id=12284
You can find more on that site. Also, Flickr has a good selection.

I got really lucky on the job. I sent out 30 CVs before my third trip here, and one of the people I wrote agreed to meet with me. When I went to his firm, it turned out to be a tiny 2-man operation, but for some reason these two guys had taken an interest in me and spent a couple hours cold-calling on my behalf. They found the perfect job for me, and by the next day I had a job offer at that other firm, conditional on me learning Icelandic.

Jo Ann, it is utopia. I love the place in a deep way.

Thanks Jared, I'll have a look to the pictures with interest

(I think the international medias don't speak enough about iceland)

Maybe the best way to find a job abroad is to contact local recruitment companies isn't it? (but I am not sure it works if you're contacting them from abroad?)
