A letter arrived in Iceland with a hand-drawn map instead of an address
Luckily, Icelandic postal workers like a good scavenger hunt.
A traveler mailed a letter to a family he had met in Búðardalur, Iceland, and instead of including an address, the envelope contained a few clues and a hand-drawn map.
The mailer didn't even know the name of the family he was trying to contact, so instead of a name, he wrote "A horse farm with an Icelandic/Danish couple and three kids and a lot of sheep!" and "the Danish woman works in a supermarket in Búðardalur."

With a population of about 270 people, Búðardalur is the epitome of a small town. The farm is clearly marked on the tiny map, and according to Icelandic website Skessuhorn, it arrived at Rebecca Cathrine Kaadu Ostenfeld's farm safely.
Hopefully the sender remembered to include a return address.
