Dinner At Local Home
Are you up for some quality social time? Why not make new friends while also getting to know the food culture of the country you’re visiting or even living in.
Me and my wife love to meet new people, and tell them about our country Iceland, and our small town Skagaströnd. I love to tell Stories and my wife Erna is amazing cook.
The fish is from Húnaflói and the lakes near by.
The meat is from local farmers.
Dinner, coffe/tea and a break from being a tourist and become one with Icelandic culture.
Book a dinner party and enjoy delicious food with us.
Best regard,

Village Walk
As being one of the oldest trading posts in Iceland the history of Skagaströnd is very interesting.
A one and a half hours walk around the village will shed a light on how life was there in the old times and how it has evolved over time to what it is today.
