Sometimes, I’m boring.

I was boring in Akureyri, but Akureyri is not. It’s gorgeous, for starters.

You can imagine yourself spending your days hammering away on a vintage typewriter, writing your super trendy memoirs, whilst sipping on a latte from a local coffee shop. As Virginia is for lovers, Akureyri could very well be for hip writers.

That’s probably why I loved it so much. It’s far enough out of the way that not everyone has been there, like other touristy sites in Iceland. I can still have some exclusive Iceland points.

During my three to four days there, I camped, watched movies and ate cake for breakfast. I hung out at Akureyri Backpackers, learned what Russian Cocaine was (a shot), and wondered what these creepy troll things are.

Seriously – they just stand there year round looking like that.
