Iceland——a place for one person to travel

in #travel6 years ago

Iceland, just came back alone, share the reasons why I recommend it here~

  1. Safe enough
    Of course, one must consider safety issues. Iceland has a small population, and immigrants do not have many European countries. It is very safe and there are almost no hidden dangers in law and order.
    I once read a post on the Internet, saying that the Icelandic policeman was too busy, lived a happy life of teasing cats, feeding ducks, and playing with snow. There were still a few police officers who took pictures of ice cream patrols and became popular.

  1. The beauty of the outer planet
    In addition to the post-shake, Iceland's most famous is its peculiar landform.
    Because its landform is very similar to that of the moon, astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong, who first landed on the moon, have practiced landing on the moon here.
    Nature is an awe-inspiring artist. When one looks at the scenery that is beautiful and suffocating, there will always be different feelings in the heart.

  1. The people here are very nice
    The happiness index of the Nordic countries is very high, and the people here are also very nice.
    Speaking of a small thing, the first day I came to Iceland, my lens was broken, my friends suggested that I return to China and then warranty, but I did not give up, I found the only repair shop in my city.
    The uncle in the store said it was broken. If you need to return to the factory for three or four days, I would like to take pictures in the past few days.
    I didn't expect him to take a picture of the same in the room, saying, "Take it away, I will do it before I go." Then I gave me a business card, and I didn't let me leave a deposit or look at my passport.
    This kind of trust makes people feel that the world is really good.

  1. Be a daydreamer
    Many people like the movie "Daydreamer of the Day". The protagonist is a big man with a big brain. Later, in order to win the girl's heart, he began to bravely embark on an adventure. One of them came to Iceland.
    In fact, many movies/TV series have been photographed in Iceland. I guess Nolan is an Icelandic enthusiast. The planet of Mann in "Interstellar Crossing" and the "Snowman: The Mystery of the Shadows" are all in Iceland.
    There are also "Star Trek", "Star Wars", "The Game of Rights" and so on.
    For fans, going to the scene in the movie is like having a sweet dream.

  1. Music! music!

I have heard people joking,
Why is Finland so strong?
Because they are too dark, boring is good at writing code at home.
Then in Iceland, they must be engaged in art without any problems.
Don't look at Iceland, there are not many places, but there are too many famous musicians. After shaking Sigur Rós, neoclassical Olafur Arnalds, electronic múm, popular folks, Of Monsters and Men... too much.

Or maybe you heard the name of Reykjavik in Hong Kong.
"There is a beam of light in the Arctic. You stay with me and I am watching.
If I feel desperate, I think I will release it all.
This green and purple light never bursts out of the sky, just like the distant place that arrived together, but not the same.

In the love that Mai Xiaolong never forgets, Iceland is already a symbol and symbol, representing the agreement and expectation.

  1. In addition to the capital Reykjavik, Iceland is sparsely populated and public transportation is very underdeveloped. The general way of travel is to participate in the mission and self-driving.
    Self-driving in general, try to choose summer. The road conditions in winter are not good and dangerous.

  2. I stayed for a week, I am a separate project on the Icelandic travel website, such as the Blue Lake, such as ice cave exploration, because I have a few places I want to go, especially the interstellar crossing.
    Children, time and money are limited, and the seven-day big group is not suitable for me.
    There are also groups in the domestic travel agencies, but there are very few countries in Iceland. Basically, there are several countries in the Nordic countries. I think it is too expensive.

Of course, DIY will be time-consuming and painstaking. For example, the scheduled car will pick you up at the hotel, then pull to the travel company, go to the counter to change the ticket and then find the corresponding bus. For example, the hotel will change several, but you want to do it.
Things don't feel trouble~

  1. Regarding the cost, I have not completely calculated it, but it is definitely cheaper. For example, I bought a round-trip ticket for more than 6,000 RMB (from Beijing, China), and I bought it decisively at the time of discount. The discount is non-returnable.
    Well, it is also a lonely man. At that time, I have not started to apply for a visa.

  2. About the visa
    A lot of people ask about visa issues, visa procedures and materials that need to be prepared online, I will write my personal application experience.
    Iceland is a Schengen country and has a Schengen visa.
    Beijing is now going to the Icelandic/Norwegian Visa Center and does not go directly to the Embassy.
    My travel plan was late, and the visa was taken very quickly. It was less than a month from the start of preparation to the visa.

I officially decided to go to Iceland in November, but the rest of the family took a break. After the holiday, I sent the materials. The person at the Visa Center told me that the current Icelandic pass rate is 50%. I also reminded me to be mentally prepared. After all, I am
Individuals who are single and unmarried and who are not yet with their companions, the embassies of the Nordic countries will not like it... but at the moment I have bought a special ticket that cannot be refunded.

I wrote that I have a job I like very much. I love my job very much. I love my colleagues very much. I also love my parents. I love my country more. I will definitely come back.
I also wrote about the reason I want to go to Iceland, because "Interstellar Crossing", because of Sigur Ros, wrote some personal love for the movie and Iceland.

  1. About "Who took the photo for you?"
    The photos in the answer were all taken by me. My photos were taken by strangers on the road.
    If you want to leave a photo when you are traveling, don't be embarrassed to say it. For tourists, everyone will not reject you.
