A duplex house in west Iceland, right by the sea, with a magnificent view over the fjord, from the backyard

Note! Due to allergy we can not take care of any animals!

My house is a wooden duplex house in a very small village in west Iceland. There are 2 apartments in the house, possible to use them separately or both for the same family. The bigger one is about 130 sqm and has an open kitchen into the living room, one bathroom, 3 bedrooms, laundry room and a garage that is used as a bedroom. The smaller one is about 70 sqm and has a kitchen with a little TV area, bathroom with a washing machine and 2 rooms.

The house has a garden/terrace with a magnificent view over the fjord. From this village, it is easy to take day trips to all directions and one could manage to see a big part of the country by just taking day trips from there. Dalasýsla region has many historical places and the people is proud of their heritage that we can trace to the Norwegian Vikings and an Irish princess. The past is hidden in every corner, place names and farm names. The surroundings also have many of the most beautiful places in Iceland where one can really enjoy the nature.

I am a single mother, of one son, who likes to travel the world. I traveled a lot when I was younger and started again about 10 years ago. I have traveled quite a lot the last few years. Did an exchange in France the summer of 2017, then with my grandmother and my son. The summer of 2018 I did an exchange in Spain (through another website/friend), with my son and my then 17 years old foster daughter. Then for Easter 2019 we did an exchange in Ireland, then with my grandmother again. For Christmas & New Years 2019/2020 we exchanged with an Italian family. The summer of 2022 we finally could travel again and had a long exchange in France, with one of our foster daughters and a few friends who came to visit during our long stay there. The summer of 2025 I took my son and 2 fosterchildren on a 7 weeks long trip in western Europe where we took the ferry with our car and drove from Denmark to Barcelona and everything in between. On that trip we did 2 exchanges, one in France and one in Belgium.
