We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
amzn.to/2L55pDR
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
amzn.to/2WbTNFH
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
amzn.to/35AWqUs
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Don´t walk on the moss! It takes about 100 years to grow back if your damage it! And, yes I´m an Icelander ;)
+Guðrún Kristín I'm planning to go to Reykjavik for two weeks in a years time, are there any places that you would recommend that I visit? Guesthouse pavi looks like the only okay hotel that my friend and I can afford that is okay quality.
+Private Pyle style I'm not familiar with many guesthouses but Icelanders put a lot of effort to make things great for tourists. Many backpacker hotels are absolutely fantastic even though they are not too pricy.
There are countless places to see in Iceland! I've Been on several road trips around the country so you could say I've Ben places haha. But I recommend seeing Ásbyrgi, going to the blue lagoon, seeing gullfoss and geyser(the golden circle). The city life in Reykjavik is also great and there are loads of museums that you can check out. I recommend listasafn Íslands( icelands art museum.
Otherwise the tourism is good and Icelanders are always happy to help. :) have a great trip!
But please whatever you do, do NOT walk on the moss! Or drive off roads. We really care about the nature here:)
Thank you for your comprehensive feedback message. It's good that Iceland is only a three hour and ten minute flight from Britain where I live. It does look wonderful tbf; how long have you been living there for? I've lived in Britain all my life and hope to travel the world more in the future. The Maratime museum looks fascinating about the ships used during the cod wars in the 1970's. Will make the most of the two weeks when we do go! :) It's best to do all the travelling when you are young
+Guðrún Kristín ég sef á mosanum!
I almost cried... I never knew we were actually considered nice people :,)
+yohoye commenter Yes, I loved Icelanders. They are so proud and passionate about the Viking culture, history and language. There is a very big national identity, and its wonderful how eager you all are to share it with visitors. I loved the pace of Reykjavik: the "no-cars" streets, the flowers, the benches to sit down for a bit. And if you step out to cross the road, drivers are so polite and wave you across. You are a fantastic nation of people in a fantastic country. I want to go back! Thank you for your hospitality. :) :)
Helen Eldridge omg! you actually think like that!? that is so awesome, the things you are saying are pretty basic for us. one thing that i know a lot of tourists find odd to do is that we make our little babies sleep outside in their baby troller (sorry if i spell it wrong) and no one does a thing, its just what EVERYONE does hahaha
i want to live there after my graduation , i live in japan. is it hard getting into iceland ? i am studying psychology if that is a profession there
+yohoye commenter My aunt visited Iceland last May and she fell in love with your country!! She says to everyone here how nice Icelanders are!! She said if it wasn't the weather, she would move there without a second thought..
sam82154 it isn't that hard i think and psychology is a good profession to have there! you should definitely come! Always welcome!
Coming from an Icelander, this video is so adorable. Welcome back anytime!
Is it a good place for teachers?
Embla Orradóttir I'm American and I went to Iceland last month and you guys are amazing people!
I'm always surprised to hear that people are interested in our country! I love going downtown in Reykjavík and hearing all the foreign languages.
I'm not from the Iceland, but I have family up there, it's fabulous country , I love the language and the country, I've been there so many times , it's great every time!
The language is amazing
i cant understand anything on the snaketung that is icelandic
Some Guy 😂😂😂
They speak Dansk/Danish, right?
Yes, I think my favorite spot was Hwuatjdfokjdetjuyustssedj.
I personally think you Forgot one thing - the water (never buy water, its the same as in the sinks. Its even "cleaner" in the sinks haha)
True
+yohoye commenter True, I live there :P
Davíð Unnarssonég líka :)
Bara Íslensk samkoma hér eða?
einmitt
Shocking how cold it is and how warm the dear people are - that is wonderful! Bless, bless.
Another part that might shock you is that a rather large part of Icelanders believe in elves and 'hidden people'(don't know what it is called in english, huldufólk in icelandic), including me. There are also a large part that don't really believe in those things but they can't say clear no, because it is such a large part of being Icelandic. Like seriously, roads have been moved because the elves weren't happy, and there is a elves village in Hafnarfjörður, where their houses have been mapped by a woman who can see them :) There are many people who can see those elves and the hidden people, my grandfather did for example see the hidden people! :D
Katrín, that has to be the most crazy and adorable thing ever :) and that's another proof of how great Icelanders are in my opinion. I'm planning to go there soon, and I'm even starting to learn some Icelandic. Too bad I can't find any teachers here in Argentina :(
þarft að vera gallaður í hausnum til að trúa á þetta drasl
plug plugplug voðalega ertu vond/ur það eru samt margir sem að trúa á álfa og huldufólk það er alveg óðarfi að kalla mann gallaðn í hausnum bara af því að maður trúir á huldufólk og álfa þett er líka bara í þjóðsögunum okkur og sum okkar ólumst upp við að hlusta sögur um þessar verur
I love it, I believe in them too, even though I'm Italian, and I would love to be surrounded by people who believe in them❤️❤️❤️
They tell a good story 😂😂
You forgot to say the biggest shock when going to Iceland is the price of things, that's a BIG shock. Great vid, cheers
I love Iceland! I'm living in Norway at the moment and you are so right about how friendly Icelanders are compared to the rest of the Nordic Countries. I feel like Iceland has the best combo of the Nordics. It is beautiful, the food is pretty good (of course they have their traditional dishes which aren't for the weak stomached), and the people are FRIENDLY AND OPEN! Definitely one of my favourite places I've been to for sure :)
+weirdofrompluto Tak fra Norge (Im Icelandic) :)
what kind of food they have.. do yhey have pork, beef and chicken? i dont eat sea food
lol
+Jose Aguilar we actully eat chicken and sheep
+Sol Kolli never ate sheep but im willing to try it.. glad y'all have chicken. .
+weirdofrompluto Yes, they're completly different. I also live at the moment in scandinavian country - Denmark - and I've got lets say the same feeling. Sometimes I ask myself, wth happen with "Continental" Nordic people, that they're so strange? Actually I got a strong kick in ass from Danish as I thought they'll be so kind, polite, friendly etc. like Icelanders do. I knew that Norwegian or Swedish are not so fine, but Danish really surprised me. Anyway I'd also say I LOVE ICELAND and I don't care other Nordic countries ;)
i am born and raised from iceland and i love it here
The eleventh thing that will shock you about Iceland is that we eat rotten sharks, sheep heads and sheep balls. Yes, actual sheep balls.
I'm from Iceland by the way, and I really loved this video Mark. :D
+AstroManX100 ekki allir. það var eiginlega bara í gamladaga eins og mér finnst hákarlar ógeðslegir og ég þekki ekki neinn sem borðar lamba haus eða pung. og ps. sumir borða líka augu
Valdís Viktoría Ja, ég borða hákarl og mér finnst hann góður. Og stundum borða ég lamba haus og pung. Og flestir í fjölskydlunni minni borða það líka, þannig að það var ekki bara í gamla daga, vinur.
veit ég sagði líka eiginlega. og ég hef aldrei heyrt um að fólk borðar lamba pung, ég hef allavega heyrt um lamba hjarta, nýru, heila, o.fl.
+Valdís Viktoría kannastu þá ekki frekar við að hafa heirt talað um að borða hrútspunga ;)
+AstroManX100 literally every time Iceland is shown on American TV hakarl is involved. Every time! that black schnapps(Brennivin?) and the hot dog stand Bill Clinton went to also usually mentioned.
That part in which you talk about how the sweaters have a pretty tangible history is absolutely true! And not only the sweaters: some years ago, an icelandic friend of mine gave me a pair of woolen winter mittens that had been made by his grandmother, using wool produced by the sheep some people of his town shepherd. This tradition is so lovely!
And the your videos are great! I like it very much how you emphasize the natural beauty of that place.
Im from iceland. This video made me really happy! Thank you
I'm from sweden and i'm really starting to get in Love with the country, I really hope in the future i'm welcome to live there 👌🏻
+HeadCaptian ayyy do you hate denmark?
freyja potet fr
could u be plz tell me how can i move to iceland ??? i want to live in the wild with cold weather
Iceland its very expansive to go? Like, id like to stay 2 or 3 weeks
Wolter , I have been a fortunate man. I have been to Iceland twice now. July 2017 and February 2018. Iceland is so beautiful , and the people so nice, friendly, and caring for the stranger. If you park on the side of the road in isolated areas, invariably an Icelander will stop to make sure that you are ok and that nothing is amiss. Sometimes I cry when I watch these videos of Iceland, yours and others on the net. I guess you might say that Iceland has stolen my heart and I am sad because I am not there. LOL! Island Steinar! Land of the Gods, or the One True God. Thank you for your video, Wolter, and yes, I am crying again.
Finally somebody who automatically answers the questions viewers want to know from a personal POV so they can make the choice for the destination.
THAT'S IT!....I'm subscribing and going to your FB page lol.
Ah Iceland is so amazing! We just came to Iceland for New Years and it is awesome! Still here and vlogging as we travel Europe for a year.
Mike, you're such a genuine person that it attracts.
I was able to spend 4 days in Iceland the last week of February. Fantastic people, beautiful, dramatic, otherworldly landscapes. Everything is NEW. The oldest building I saw was newer than the 120 year old building I live in. I watched the Prime Minister park her car in front of the State house and walk, unaccompanied to the door. We took the Golden Circle tour. One minute, it was blindingly sunny; the next it was a "whiteout" snow with wind gusts. See "the big church on the hill." See the Opera House
I love your channel! So informative, light and friendly!
That landscape looks like Patagonia here in South Argentina, It's cool :-)
I love this! I'm dying to go to Iceland - it's been at the top of my bucket list for a while! Thanks for this video! I really want an Icelandic sweater now haha
We just got back from Iceland, we loved it! We went to the West Fjords, the South, Golden Circle, Reykjavik, and Blue Lagoon. You are right, some places it does feel like a different planet, so awesome. Everyone was very nice. Biggest shocks were all the dang sheep, literally everywhere! Beautiful sheep and beautiful horses. Also a shock was the crazy cost of food, even from regular grocery stores. We hope to go back again.
Another fact - All the hitch-hikers in Iceland are foreigners and in their 20's. We went to Iceland last year in July/August 2014 and rented a 4x4 vehicle and we picked some hitch-hikers (mainly couples (girlfriend/boyfriend) and one single guy) through out our road trips. All were friendly and none were serial killers !! The ones we picked up came from various countries - France, Czech Republic and Belarus. We mainly drove through Reykjavik and southern Iceland including of course the Blue Lagoon, Geysers, Icebergs and Glaciers.
Absolutely beautiful video, Mark! I'm so happy it's here. Hope you guys had fun! :)
Ciel Phantomhive it was a great trip. we will be uploading about ten more videos from Iceland over the next 4 or 5 weeks so lots more fun to come. thanks for the support!
Thank you so much
I've been waiting for a video on Iceland
Neil Baker glad we could deliver. we will have a few more coming out over the next few weeks
Mark, Thank you for your videos. I watched a couple before going to Iceland, and they were a tremendous help. Keep them coming.
WOW! This is one of the best short documentaries about Iceland. Thank you sir!
Another wonderful video Mark, you now added Iceland to my bucket list!! :) Keep up the fantastic work!
Travis Judd Thanks Travis! it was such a great trip.
woltersworld I know a good traveler always learns a little bit of the language of their destination, but how common is English there?
English is widely spoken, and everyone we spoke to spoke is fluent English. Many also speak German, and/or Danish. All road signs are easy to read. Every service station has excellent hot dogs too. Also, you can use your credit card to buy anything (best to have some Krona too, of course). Many people we encountered in service industries were not from Iceland, but from other parts of the EU. Also, women make up roughly half the population and are treated equally in all respects; pay, rights, work equity, etc (they even protested en mass to get these rights). Great place...we will return!
+Timothy Martin Timothy its because we (Icelanders) learn all those languages trough the school system, so if somebody does not speak English or Danish, then something aint right :)
Now you have me wanting to visit Iceland!
Always such a pleasure to watch and learn! Thanks so much!
Just discovered your CZcams site as I am researching Iceland. This is the second video and we have enjoyed both. You have given great tips. And we can't wait to book a trip.
42 degrees?! holy shit it gets hot!... oh... your American....
lol
+Ayden Mikita - *you're
+Amanda Tessmer "you're" Cannot be used for formal writting :)
... probably he means 42 degrees Kelvin. Alcohol is frozen like brick. Only Lada cars will work. Really cold.
He said 4 to 2 degrees here
Oh my gosh Iceland sounds pretty much perfect
It's awesome
Wolter, I have been watching you for years. Thanks for all the tips and information!
Thanks for the information. My boyfriend and I are going to Iceland March 2018. We can’t wait. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for the time you and your family put into doing them. Best wishes on your travels.
Thanks for the video Dude!! Truly spectacular place!! Cheers
You are very welcome. Iceland is amazing
+woltersworld Hey, I actually wanted to comment on one thing, we do have hotels, we even have a Hilton :) But nice video either way :)
+Fríða Líf Vignisdóttir He was referring to the towns/villages outside of Reykjavík ;)
Jack Hackett Well, still, we have hotels in Akureyri, Selfoss, Ísafjörður, Vestmann islands and all the main towns in Iceland, we're not total sticks :P
+Fríða Líf Vignisdóttir Ég veit :) And you've pretty much counted up all the places outside of the capital region with a building labelled a "hotel" ;)
And since I'm writing - at 4:05 Walter mentions that you can get the feeling of being on another planet; which is exactly why the astronauts that were the first to walk on the Moon practices in Iceland. And regarding elfs - well, I think it's like God, not many people believe in such a deity, but people really don't want to piss it off, just in case ....which is why laying roads is some times put around so-called "elf" stones: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/mar/25/iceland-construction-respect-elves-or-else
Dude you are awesome!. Very nice videos!.
+MexicanSnakex thank you :)
you are so nice im icelandic and just thank you so much for like saying its beatiful country i havent even gone to some places here in iceland but you are a nice guy
+iiKitty KatMSP we loved iceland. The kids always ask to go back
Good video! Iceland has always been on my "MUST SEE" list.
Jökulsárlón!! Possibly the most amazing place on the planet, I love it there so much, shall be visiting for the fifth time in just over a month's time, can't wait.
I love Iceland!!!!!
Please, Please don't drink bottled water in Iceland !!! Its a complete waste of money, its only on the market for tourists, no one in Iceland drinks bottled water. I see tourists here buying bottled water here all the time, and i cringe every time i see it. Total waste of money, its like throwing your money out the window. Our water by the way, is the best water, in my opinion. Don't buy it !!!!!
Alex Blær thank you for this tip! I'm glad to know that before I go
But the bottled water is bottled by Coca Cola!
how tf am i suppose to drink water then???!
All most all the nordic countries has the most cleanest water so there is no need, That's right!! I live in Sweden by btw
Tap water in Iceland is pure and totally safe to drink (it may taste sulfur a bit, but it's not critical). Furthermore, you won't find plenty of bottled still water in local stores (only sparkling). However, I had diarrhea for complete 2 weeks while on a roundabout trip on the island. So, I consider this a bit controversial.
Iceland looks like a dream travel destination for me. I'm almost crying 😍😍
Sounds fabulous and looks amazing. Thanks for all the great info!
Going there the first week of October. Should be a ton of fun.
Ricardo del toro you will like it :)
+Ricardo del toro lucky you :)
+Apostolis Tzivleris i live here on iceland
+Ricardo del toro Please......take me with youuuuu!!!!
+Ricardo del toro You'll LOVE it, m8.. This Expatriate Chicagoan just came back from holidays in Reykjavik & Selfoss in August. And it was FAB!!
Fact 11: They kicked England out!
I was waiting for that 😂😂
Fact 12: We won a war against UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_Wars
+Mohammed Abdirashid me too ;)
Fact 13: They borrowed Hauns from Motherwell.
haha true
Fantastic reviews Mark, many thanks for your useful tips, looking forward to visit Iceland in Sep
TAKK! Thank you for great video and be welcome back.
I just got back from Iceland. Fact: Iceland has the most wifi in the world.
really? I'm doing the route 1 ring and was wondering how accessible the Wi-Fi would be
Creepzer178 really?
Not rly that impressive, considered how few people live there, and also how few places on island people acculy live on.
we are actually really friendly... i lost my wallet once in a store, went home went back to the store and the wallet was still there, not a krona had been taken out. but i was in usa (baltimore area) and i left my wallet for 30 seconds and it was gone. you guys are just darn mean... i was 10yrs old thats just plain evil. i lost 11 dollars that day
uhm yes
Mo R so true man, but what are you doing here? This comment is over a year old
Thank you for the video, you've covered a lot of important information. I've been there 12 years ago and it still looks as beautiful as it was; time for a re-visit :)
i went to iceland with 2 friends and i must say, what an amazing country! so helpful and so friendly! we went to a few bars and everyone was very welcoming and giving tips what to visit and what not.
also the nature is amazing! and ive been all over asia/australia/south america and iceland in my eyes is one of the most beautiful, you get a feeling that the nature is still '' rough and untouched''.
i want to say thanks to the people from iceland! also im a big fan of your football team ( and im from the netherlands ) i love the country's dedication and spirit!
One day I'll go there. :')
You must og and see the fjords in Norway. The Geiranger fjord, the Hardanger fjord and the Sognefjord.
Cta2006 will do :)
Thanks for the excellent videos -
Always watch everyone.
Keep up the good work!
Yeah, this looks like a place I want to put on my bucket list. Great video.
i live in Iceland and it is good to live here
Its it possible to isolate yourself in Iceland if you like nature and prefer to be alone?
+Panda Complex
Yes it is and it is very easy.
You got internet there?
Kuldeep Sharma seriously ?
+Kuldeep Sharma
They do. Believe it or not, Iceland has one of the highest average internet speeds in the world! It's somewhere around the 15mb/s line (although it does get faster than that) and over 90% of the population has access to it. 97% have access to cell phones and other electronics, as well.
You must see New Zealand if you haven't already!
I hope we can get there one of these days. Looks amazing
Iceland is now on the top of my travel list! I had already had an interest after hearing a few of the Game of Thrones actors gush about how much they enjoyed filming in Iceland, and your video sealed the deal for me!
This is a fab video, thanks for sharing!
I am probably going next May!!
TheShaleco go... you will love it
I love here so u can traust me when i say that you will enjoy it!!!!!! 😍 I live in Akureyri BTW. Only around 19000 pepole live in Akureyri but still it has nr5 most pepole 😱
did you ever go?
Have you visited? i am going to visit?
I think Iceland in Sep 2017 was my favorite vacation ever. Please Icelanders, do not ruin your country with tons and tons of foreigners. Keep Iceland Icelandic.
OMG! Your viseos have been so helpful. We are going to Iceland with kids in April. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this video! Definitely too on my list of places to go!
David Beckham it was really cool. well worth visiting.
...Pure Beauty Iceland....Much Better than Montreal.!Or NYC..!..And Friendly People...Good Food......Lots of Nature instead of the Same sick life of Work and pay bills and traffic rude people of town....Boy I would love to Be there...
+Carlos Krueger well we still have to work, and I have lived in Iceland my whole life and in all honesty the people here are not that friendly, and the nature is just a grey land of moss.... it gets pretty boring living here
Drawmyfate 5sos Many people don't understand the dark partd about the nordic countries. Greetings from Sweden.
The lebenskind
Well for Icelander (me) our "Cities" towns are pretty big :P (they are small I know)
But still awesome places. LOVED ICELAND!!!
Aww :3 Thank you! Hope you enjoyed! If you want another beutiful trip to the nordic countries try out Åland, in my opinion, thats the most wonderful place on earth.
+HÞR Studios Aww thats cute, one of the smaller cities in england has 3x the entire population of iceland.
Ash Maxwell Haha! Well, we here on this iceberg have only the population 330.000 people, so what do people expect :Þ but Iceland's populationj is growing tough really fast, in 1990 Iceland's population was 270.000 people, so our guess is that in 2100 Iceland will have the poukation of 6-700.000 people, but even hen, still small :Þ
Yeah BTW I love England.
Yes, I must make a side trip to Iceland now that I have seen your video.
Thanks for taking the time and effort.
Well done
enjoyed and appreciated
thanks for sharing
Awesome video! I have a question: what are the bookstores like/the literary culture? I read in a travel guide in the 1990's that Iceland had 100% literacy and 10% of all adults were published authors. Is that true? If so, seems like paradise!
no not realy im from iceland not realy cultury
It is true that 10% of all adults hafe published a book:) Im icelandic
It is true that 10% of all adults hafe published a book:) Im icelandic
It is true that 10% of all adults hafe published a book:) Im icelandic
+Auður Ísold So is it true that 10% of all adults have published a book? Im not...
Don't walk on the moss
+George Holt why?
it takes years to grow back
+George Holt dude, it won´t get destroyed if you walk on it.
do you know how heavy the average American is? ;)
That an for fucks sake your in some else's beautiful country, they say don't walk on the moss it does environmental dammed, just don't. Idiots that try off-roading are the #1 call out for the Icelandic rescue service.
dude, I am from iceland, theres also too many fat people here, we´re the second fattest country in the world, after America. So dude, trust me, it will only get destroyed if you rip it with your hands.
Awesome, thank you for the info!
Wolter, you're a legend! What an excellent summary and commentary of the far frontier, viewed from way down here in Australia! How fascinating that polar bears casually float over from Greenland. Wonder how many tourists have their fertiliser scared out of them with an encounter! Iceland in 2017.
im from iceland:)
You have an awesome country with some of the nicest people we have ever met on our travels
+woltersworld I'm from Iceland too I'm really happy you made this video
+woltersworld im from iceland aswell nice video dude!
I AM FROM ICELAND

Great video man! thank you :)
it was 30 years ago I first arrived in Iceland. God, I sure miss it after all these years.
So, basically it's the cold version of Polynesia. Got it.
DaPopoloinParadise That reminds me of how in some ways, in my opinion, Iceland is like the New Zealand of the North.
LOL agree it’s like a paradise tropical island 🏝 but cold ❄️
Hahhahah enskt fólk, svo klassískt og skemmtilegt. Fólk kann ekki að meta okkur, við reynum og reynum en þið hunsið okkur bara. Þið eruð til skammar! Djók...

Perfect timing! Thank you Mark for your videos! Going to Iceland in September and you just provided me with lots of information.
Rosie Rose Awesome! glad we could help. I should have a few more Iceland videos up over the next few weeks so they could help too... especially if you are driving :)
Love this channel and its helpful tips!
Where's Lazy Town? (Lazy Town is Icelandic)
In Garðabær, where the rich and greedy people live.
There is actually a big capital
+Lego Bricklantis its not big

One of my biggest dreams is to visit this country. I'm planning on learning the language as well. Thanks for this video!

ZORO!! IM UR NUMBER 1 FAN!!!!!!
Brynjar Daði Thanks
the hotel this is kind of a lie.. we have hotels everywhere. like nojoke. everywhere.
I really like the quality of your videos, thank you for making them.
Thank you travis that means a lot
I already make my bookings to Iceland in July 😊
Thanks for this video, it will make my vacation awesome!!!
I would like to visit Reykjavik and the surrounding areas. However I am vegan, for health reasons and I adore animals. Are there many vegan options. I found there are in Denmark where 10% of the population is vegetarian. Are there health food stores in Reykjavik where I can buy vegan cheese, and healthy snacks. I found London had tons of healthy restaurants. The Whole Foods in Kensington although very expensive had far more variety of vegan options than I have seen in the US or Canada. Thank-you for your answer, I look forward to it.
+Brandt McCall We have many vegans in Iceland. There are health food stores in Iceland but i dont know how many :)
+Sara Líf Sigurjónsdóttir Wow that is great to know, thank-you. When I eat healthy I feel so much better, thus can enjoy my travel experience. I have been to several areas in Southern Europe, now I am excited to visit Norway and Iceland. I bring some of own vegan snacks from Vancouver where I live too, I will check online too for vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Reykjavik. All the best.

+Einar Ólafsson Thank-you Elnar I will look at this site, wow a vegan guide to Iceland is perfect. I will post it to other vegan sites I know of, for other vegetarians/vegans or flexitarians (eat some meat, but largely vegetarian) should anyone else be considering Iceland. Now that countries like the US's new Dietary Guidelines recommend to eat less meat/dairy in favor of a plant based diet, to prevent strokes, heart disease and various kinds of cancer as well as to promote optimal health people increasingly are looking for vegan restaurants. All the best to you.
I'm vegan too and visited Reykjavik back in October. I found that buying food from the local supermarket for lunch and eating in a restaurant in the evening was the way to go. we visited this amazing little cafe calls cafe bablu. it had many vegan options and even vegan cake for dessert! we also had soup in the evenings. our hotel served breakfast every morning so we stocked up on fruit and toast etc..hope this helped!
42° is insanely hot. Please, Americans, just learn metric system.
Freedom Units ftw
Please Europeans, learn the Imperial system... As you have learned English and trade with the US and so many counties get our foreign aid...etc.
Cory Johnson every country is using the metric system except for the united states
Why should they when the metric system make so much more sense. There is a reason science uses the metric system and not the Imperial system.
Nice video, thanks..!
Thank you this video definitely make me plan my next travel ... To ICELAND ! Great & lovely video !
+Antho Inspire iceland is awesome. Everyone should go. I can't recommend it enough

His job allows him to take her on holiday throughout the entire year, no wonder she's with him.
Get a life, stop being a hater.
you seem so lovely, this is the first video ive watched of yours- im going to iceland in July and im very excited, thank you
Wolter, thanks for the information. It was very helpful to know some of these. I just came back after 5 days' stay and couldn't agree more. Common sensical points well captured. I don't know if it is all icelanders but whoever I spoke to had not travelled much and don't like to leave the island nation. Their horses are beautiful. They are seemed very well educated and the nicest people on earth. I felt the same with Swiss but Icelanders might be a notch more friendly. I have seen your other video as well and it was great as well. What a country!! I want to go back next year for 3 weeks and cover the whole country on a bicycle.
