Rent a car and drive. Roads are great and there are not that many people around so you can drive as fast as you want

It’s expensive so be prepared for overcharged food

This may sound dumb, but are all the cars manual?

@A2 nope! You have to pay a little extra for automatic. Got a 4 wheel drive small SUV and it was great

Rejkavik is NOT close to Kevlavik airport. Be prepared to drive about 45 min to an hour. Roads are very narrow and close down completely with little to no warning, especially in winters. Northern lights require very little overcast so it all depends on your weather that weekend. Food is very very expensive as is pretty much everting. Beautiful place but just be prepared

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
