Experience a real day in the life of 19-year-old Kristjana from Reykjavík, Iceland – a country known for stunning nature, long dark winters, high living costs, and a tight-knit community.
She shows us her family home, what breakfast looks like, how student life works in a country of just 400,000 people, and both of her part-time jobs. Along the way she opens up about friendships, dating, money, rent, and what makes growing up in Iceland both challenging and beautiful.
