Erasmus Experience in Reykjavík, Iceland by Giulia
Why did you choose to go to Reykjavík, Iceland?
I'm a Geology student, so Iceland, in particular Reykjavík, it's the best natural laboratory in which you can work in all over the world.
How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?
I am an intern for three months and I receive 430€ per month.
What is the food like?
They have a lot of Icelandic typical food. You will fall in love with Skyr, that is a kind of yogurt, but much better. Always better to cooke at home: eating in restaurants is sooo expensive!
Did it cost you to find your accommodation in Reykjavík?
A little bit! But only because I wanted to spend not too much money. There are a lot of active facebook group and websites.
How much does it cost to live in Reykjavík?
It's the only bad thing about Reykjavik: it's very expensive. But I think that's a unique experience in your life, so if you can organize your money as well, it worth it.
What's the easiest or most economical way to travel to Reykjavík from your city?
I bought a flight two months in advance, in winter, and it was very cheap.

Ciao Giulia,
Me puoi dire dove hai trovato alloggio economico?
Sono un po' disperata perché quegli che trovo sono tutti costosi...
