How do i get to go work on a farm in Iceland for a few weeks


How do i get to go work on a farm in Iceland for a few weeks?
I would like to work on an Icelandic farm or something similar in the country. Kind of like an exchange student type thing, ie. stay with a family and work for my keep. Just for a month or something. I don't know if this would ever be possible but, i'd be grateful for ideas. thanks

As far as I know there's no offical program for this, but that doesn't mean it's impossible!. Start with contacting schools you'd be interested in attending, and let them know what you'd like to do. They should be able to put you onto the right people to talk to. You didn't say where you're from, but here in Canada with have a SWAP organization that helps with this. Even if they don't specifically work with that region, they have contacts that can help you! Look for a similar group in your own country, the local colleges should know about them.
