My Week in Pictures

Happy Saturday! I just finished my first week of work and am exhausted! My new job is going to be full of exciting new things with a good mix of challenges (language barriers) but I am looking forward to learning more and more. So far I can say I much prefer the Icelandic work culture over the American one, but that is a post for a different day. For now lets take a look from this past week via pictures off my phone.

Sunny DaysI will never get over this view I have on my way to work!
AzoraAzora sending me some luck before my interview last week. She must be the reason why I got the job.
Iceland PresidentThe president of Iceland giving a speech this week at the University. No big deal to see the President out and about without security here!
Spring is in the AirFinally signs of Spring in Reykjavik!
Art ExhibitWhat happens when H takes me to an art exhibit, I just don’t get art.
Beach in Iceland The only geothermal beach in Iceland and its right behind my office, score!
EsjanPosing with the beautiful Esjan.

In blog related news I had some major issues this week with my Bloglovin’ feed not working properly. While I know it is just a blog it is still so frustrating when you spend time writing posts that don’t appear on your main source of traffic. Luckily the issue is fixed now so I apologize for the flood of my blog post you may have gotten in your feed!

And in case you weren’t around this week:

Lately on Unlocking Kiki
-I announced some big news!
- Shared my favorite hike in Reykjavik,Mt. Ejsan
- Wandered around the flooded streets of Venice
- Asked for travel recommendations
- Said goodbye to my first winter in Iceland

Weekly Reads
- I am ready to throw a party with these great party apps from Stephanie!
- This recipe for vegan cookie dough, yum!
- Read about my travel tips for Mykonos over on True Colors blog
- This version of Macklemore done by an Icelandic boy is amazing

Have a great weekend everyone!

    That’s too bad bloglovin wasn’t working for you this past week- luckily you got it all taken care of! Looks like a busy & great week for you. I definitely take random pictures on my phone ALL the time- but it goes sporadically, where one day/week I’ll take a million, and then absolutely none the next week!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I am the same, one week I have a ton of photos then next I didn’t take one! But its fun looking back on the random things we decide to take photos of through the week :)

      Thanks Kate! I am really enjoying learning about the work environment differences I will be sure to share soon!

    I looove that the President can just wander around like a normal human being. How cool it is to live in a peaceful, well-respected country!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Isn’t that so cool! He just pulled up in his car and got out himself, like a normal person it was awesome!
