My house is a family house, but all the children have moved from home now even if we still like spending time together. I have three grown up children and four grandchildren. We are generally a happy and easy going family, interested in people, music, culture, nature, travels and we love staying in a little summerhouse we have in the northwest of Iceland.
I have always liked travelling and have had several home exchanges, before joining Intervac. My husband Leifur, my favorite travel companion, passed away 2022 but I continue my travels, alone or with family or friends.
