Intro

Backpacking or traveling in Greenland?

  • The largest island in the world, a land of extremes. Greenland is not for every backpacker or traveler and a visit requires good preparation. In winter you can experience the snow and the northern lights, in summer you can hike, climb, kayak. In addition, it is not easy to travel around, there are hardly any roads, so if you want to go from one place to another you can take a boat. Otherwise, it is recommended to stay one or two weeks in one place.
  • Activity spotting: hiking, climbing, kayaking, nature spotting, learning about the local culture, wildlife tours.

Studying in Greenland?

  • With one university, there is not much to choose from in Greenland. The University of Greenland offers a small selection of English studies, especially related to local culture, society and nature.

Working as a digital nomad in Greenland?

  • You can hardly find much more off-the-beaten-path. Few digital nomads travel to this part of the world, which is precisely why it is a very special experience. For example, visit Nuuk and experience how the Vikings used to live. Make sure you have money, because it is not cheap.

Living in Greenland?

  • The standard of living is quite high in Nuuk, the capital. In other parts of the country it can vary quite a bit. The people are friendly and hospitable, but be sure to familiarize yourself with the traditions and learn some Greenlandic.
  • It is also important to consider the extreme temperatures, daylight hours (both summer and winter) and the language.
