Hello Grapevine!
I enjoyed your 2010 article about the
lack of an Icelandic equivalent to
Craigslist Missed Connections.
I'm wondering if anything has
evolved since the article was writ-
ten. Barnaland doesn't quite fit the
bill.
Last year I met an Icelandic pilot
in Hong Kong named Benedikt. He
worked for Saudi Arabian Airlines,
and lived in eastern Iceland with his
wife and children.
He was out with his colleagues and
kindly returned my lost wallet and
cell phone, and I never had the op-
portunity to thank him. If not for his
kindness, I would have missed my
flight the next day.
Any suggestions are welcome and
appreciated!
Warm regards,
Natalie
Hæ Natalie!
We're sorry to report that Icelanders
are still wandering aimlessly through
their lives, missing connections left
and right. If only we had a way to
figure out who that was down on
Laugavegur last night, who let us bum
a cigarette before disappearing into
the night…
Thankfully, in Iceland you’re bound to
have at least one mutual Facebook
friend with pretty much everyone in
the country. So it may take a bit more
digging but hey, who said this was
supposed to be easy?
As for Benedikt, if you’re out there
and you feel like Natalie may be your
missed connection, feel free to let us
know at letters@grapevine.is.
Good luck with your missed con-
nections, Natalie, and we hope you
continue running into kind Icelanders
wherever you go!
Happy sleuthing,
Grapevine
