Why REYST?
In the end, Iceland itself convinced me to start the REYST program. The country is well known for the high knowledge in the geothermal subject and it is known to be well educated in English. However, in all other aspects it is really unknown for most people all over the world. It was exciting to get a new experience of my life in culture, people, landscape, weather, language and living on an island.
