Iceland. I have always been intrigued by the mystical island. My snapchat and twitter handle is IcelandicBaby, although I have never been there: Until now. So why did I go to the cold little island of 330,000+ inhabitants? Well! My favorite band is Sigur Rós, and by the context of this blog post you could probably tell where they are from. I received an email one day about their special Icelandic winter tour, right in their hometown for a few days as they hosted the festival norður og niður with other artists for four nights at the Harpa Concert Hall. I knew immediately that I would go because this was a rare opportunity to watch my favorite band for the fifth time in Iceland. I saw it as a twofer, basically. So I impulsively bought tickets to see them two nights in a row without thinking about how and where I will accommodate myself, because as I later learned in Icelandic, Þetta reddast. Meaning, “It will all work out okay”.
