SEEDS - Volunteering for Iceland

SEEDS 035. Reykjavik - Arts & Outdoors

21.06.2013

There were many unanswered questions and doubts about this work camp, but from grayness it turned to a creative, fun and literally colorful experience. First we met each other, not at the same time though, but as a group of only five, it was easy to remember names, countries, likes and dislikes....

SEEDS 043. The Highlands North of Vatnajökull Glacier

21.06.2013

This summer me, Yul Hwa KIM and Se-Jin PARK from South Korea, Ludmila BORSIKOVA from Slovakia, Nia RODGERS from United Kingdom and Felix FROTTE from France came to volunteer in Möðrudalur, the highest inhabited farm in Iceland. People lived in this place since Iceland...

SEEDS 036. Patreksfjördur - Unique Westfjords

14.06.2013

When you leave Reyjkiavik at 7.00 A.M. on the way to the north you don’t really know what you’re going to find up there. Once you leave behind the Ring Road and road 60 starts to get nasty, you start to wonder why exactly are you going to that place of impossible name. Seriously there’s...

SEEDS 031. Skriðdalur - Crawling Valley (1:2)

13.06.2013

We were 8 people from seeds coming to help þora who lives in a very small farm in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by mountains, icelandic poney, sheep and trolls, we planted thousands of trees! We also give them lots of love by singing icelandic, russian, french, american or...

SEEDS 032. Arctic Adventures in the West Fjords

12.06.2013

We can't repeat our emotions. And sometimes experiences are so special that we can't describe and reflect them in appropriate way. Maybe that's why for the first time, in my whole volunteering experience here in Iceland, I found it so difficult to write this workcamp report. I just decided...

SEEDS 023. Pirates in the West fjords

09.06.2013

Constitution of being a good Pirate When I say word Pirate, what mind firstly come to your mind? I bet you will think about people robbing stuff from the ships at sea. It was like that many years ago but today we are saying – NEI TAKK!!! Yes, sometimes, the pirates take the...

SEEDS 026. Djúpavík - Where the northern road ends!

07.06.2013

What’s better than the Westfjords to experience the natural beauty of Iceland? In Djúpavík, particularly, where the wonders of nature stand alongside the huge ruins of its old herring factory. This amazing place was chosen by Ulla and Karita from Finland, Iris from Germany,...

SEEDS 020. Ísafjarðardjúp: Nature & Fun in the Westfjords (1:2)

04.06.2013

Our story began with a storm, a snow storm to be exact. I guess nothing really says “Welcome to Iceland” than a white whirl of snow. But we finally reached our destination and spent two weeks in Heydalur. Correction. Two wonderful weeks in Heydalur. Eight fantastic people: Triin, Sakarias,...

SEEDS 030. Vatnajökull National Park - Skaftafell (2:2)

03.06.2013

At some point in our lives we have all asked ourselves a question as we hike on the beautifully made hiking trails. Who are those sneaky elves that make them? How is it possible to make these wooden steps here? I mean we are 5 hours away from the nearest sign of civilisation? Who carried all of the...

SEEDS 027. The island of Viðey

03.06.2013

What could be more awful than going to another country to explore and travel, but being trapped on an island where seemingly nothing happens? Eight people all around the world right now could answer you: anything else can be more terrible than that. Let me explain. We came all together for a work...
