I have used Iceland as my first country of choice for my world trip. The people are sound, the women are beautiful, the weather is damn cold, the northern lights make a good show and the bars are expensive. Though be warned if you are looking for a good fight hang around any bar on a Friday or Saturday night, the people get so bored that's all they want to do. All in all, like all of the Nordic countries it is a good place to get money but yo'll find yourself longing for some excitement and a sun that does its job.
