Hi Raj
Hope you are fine.
That sounds very interesting. What would be the cost for one person in a single room? And what would be the price for the double room? We did not make our final holiday plans for 2018. But we will discuss it as soon as possible.😊 And this trip could be an option😊
Kind regards from Switzerland

Hi Raj,
Hope you are doing well. This workshop looks amazing! I always wanted to visit Iceland just to take pictures but this year I’m in the middle of getting my citizenship so I won’t be able to make it to this workshop!
BUT My main question is, are there going to be more like this in the future? At different locations? I would be more than willing to come if there is going to be another one next year!!
Please let me know 🙂
Thank you
Jeffrey Parsa
