Queer Is Where The Heart Is art exhibition is to open at the National Queer Organization, Samtokin '78, January 21st. Queer Is Where The Heart Is is a an art exchange between Iceland and the US that explores the many nuances of queerness with a special interest in how queerness relates to place. As a transitory and ever-evolving identity and social group, roughly defined by what we are not, queers are no strangers to claiming place – making home where the heart is — often in the margins, with fluid definitions, in self-defined categories, relationships, and places. 

Once again we´re celebrating new year with adventurous travel coming up for many of us. So for those of you who are considering or planning a trip to Iceland in 2012 there is a handful of interesting events to attend in addition to all the nice things to enjoy while in Iceland. Below are the biggest LGBT events coming up in 2012.

According to a recent survey tourists visiting Iceland spent on average 10.2 nights in Iceland and majority of those visiting (79,6%) where traveling on their own (not in organised groups or prepaid package). Two thirds booked their trip to Iceland 4 months or less prior to their visit. Online was the single most important source of information in the decision making and almost half of those who did visit chose rental cars as a way of transportation. Majority of visitors said the trip to Iceland was in line with their expectations and 79% said they where likely to visit again, preferably in the summer.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a fabulous new year! We are proud to have served LGTB travelers around the world and we´re looking forward to continue to do so in the future. Hope to see you in Iceland in 2012. Gayice.is.
