Iceland

Transport

Everything is expensive also in Iceland and if you want to travel cheap it is better to avoid using money completely. Icelandic people are extremely friendly and ready to help you with almost everything you will need.

Hitchin works very good in almost every part of the country; though as soon as you leave the main transited routes (i.e. ring road 1 and road to Isafjord); but also in soem parts of these "main roads" (e.g. from Akureyri to Egilstaddir to Höfn) the already scarce traffic can become really low (1-5 cars/h) and the wheather conditions you might have to wait with aren´t the most welcoming. Keep in mind that the whole country has a population of around 300000 inhabitants whose 2/3 lives in the capital..Though almost every tourist who goes there rent a car and most often likes and picks up hitchhikers.

Accommodation

Wild camping is legal in lots of conditions and largely tolerated in almost any situation; though don´t expect to make pity to people and being invited home, this is pretty rare. Internet hospitality networks work quite well especially in the cities. Outside, there are mostly bed&breakfast and pensions that live on tourism, if you say you have no money (nor tent etc) they might accept your collaboration in change for food and accomodation (sort of help exchange)

Food

Basic food like oat, legumes can and flat bread is affordable; for all the rest (especially fruit veggies and normal bread) rely on dumpster diving, it works extremely well. Check http://trashwiki.org/en/Iceland for good and detailed info

Connectivity

Though wifi is free almost everywhere, computers for internet can be paying in some municipal libraries (e.g Akureyri and Reykjavik); universities are the best option to find free access if you don´t have your own device
