Message from Nicole Zohdi

Reykholt is a cozy village in Western Iceland that was once a hotspot for intellectuals back in the day. It's famous for being the home of Snorri Sturluson, a poet and politician who left behind some epic records of Old Norse language and mythology. Nowadays, Reykholt is a chill spot with just 60 locals, a school, and a library dedicated to Snorri's works. You can even check out remains of Snorri's farm and a cool hot pot bath. Plus, nearby you've got lava waterfalls, hot springs, and aurora borealis research happening. It's a mix of history, nature, and modern-day vibes all rolled into one!
