In a week from now I will travel from downtown Reykjavik to Skaftafell National Park where I will work as a land warden for a month and a half. That is about seven hours´ drive away so I will not visit Reykjavik often during that time (perhaps briefly, for a day or two, every second week). I still haven´t quite figured out what to do with the flat I am renting while I´m spending my time so far away. I could continue paying the rent and just keep my stuff in there in order to return and enjoy life downtown again in late August before I eventually move somewhere else in late September with my girlfriend (which is the big plan because this flat of mine is tiny). I could also put my stuff in a locked-up room, pay only one-third of what I would otherwise do and not have a place to stay when I return in Agust other than my parents´ house, until (again) I would eventually move (this time earlier in September due to the homelessness pressure). The third solution just reared its fantastic head when I realized I could allow someone I know and trust to stay there for only half of what I´m paying. Many young people would take this as a great opportunity because living in the town-centre is rather expensive.
The final solution to this puzzle will crop up solid and firm in a few days´ time.
