Góðan Dag Íslendingar og expats,
After having done some extensive research I have decided I like the Icelandic system very much and
everything else about the country. One problem,
I also love Norway (have close family members there).
Could someone tell me (perhaps an expat) what some
pro's and con's have been in their experience? I live in
the states and have never experienced living in a foreign country. One con I see living in Iceland as opposed to Norway is that there are less opportunities in Iceland because of the size. I am a musician and would need to be in an orchestra for my income; maybe
do some teaching as well. My best (or only) options would be to live in Rekjavik and be in the Iceland Symphony Orchestra (if they had any spots), and/or
be in the orchestra in Akureyri I guess. Am I right?
Or are there other opportunities? I am a classical violinist/violist. I speak Icelandic, and am learning how
to read and write it (probably the most difficult part).
Anyhow, hope someone can clue me in a little bit
as I have asked several people in Iceland and all over
about this area and no one seems to know much.
(A little frustrating! :)). Takk fyrir
Með kveðja,
Gorm
