Hej hej allihopa! ("Hey everyone" in Swedish) We are Chloé, the Kiwi, and Ludvig, the Swede. We met at a Ski Resort in Canada and have since been travelling the whole world together. So far... we got engaged in the snowy mountains, hiked through Norway, flown a propeller plane around Sweden, visited 20 (ish) US states, cruised through the Mediterranean, Iceland and Greenland, road tripped through the whole of New Zealand in a campervan and now we're in the process of moving to CANADA! Phew! Clearly we hate the word boring.
Our aim is to provide you with helpful travel tips and entertainment from around the globe, hopefully inspiring you to EXPLORE MORE! We love adventure ...with a touch of luxury. You can expect to see lots adventure, along with a generous dose of unique hotels, AirBnbs, luxury stays and business class flights (lol, I say this with my fingers AND toes crossed).

Transatlantic cruises are the best!!! Especially westbound because of the extra hour. I went on Voyager's sister ship, Adventure of the Seas. Of my 33 cruises, I easily put it in my top 4 (with my first one on a now defunct line Renaissance Cruises, only 100 passengers on the ship, Sun Princess' Acapulco to Fort Lauderdale Panama Canal, and Silverseas' Athens to Venice).
Iceland brings both sad and good memories. My father passed away on the flight to Reykjavik (where my parents were starting a Silverseas cruise to Southampton where I would join in the next segment to Lisbon). So, quick unfortunate change of plans (I rarely praise US airlines but thank you Delta Airways for taking care of mom until my brother arrived!!!) and I fly to Iceland instead of Heathrow (well over $40k+ worth of cruise fares out the window too; no future credit, no nothing - yeah, 6 star line service considering my parents had well north of 250 nights cruised with them...).
The people were so absolutely kind and helpful. We ended up staying a week to take care of cremation and repatriation of the ashes. But while sadness permeated my mother, brother, and I we tried to make the best of things when we had time. We did silly, low key, tourism in Reykjavik which was perfect to keep the mind off things. At city hall we visited the big relief map which was very interesting. Walked past the PM's house. Tried to visit the big church but it was closed because a local politician had passed away too so they ended up firing up the crematorium especially for him and squeezed my dad in too (no... not at the same time... sigh...). Went to a fish restaurant and I actually tasted 3 small morsels of whale - which they can still hunt legally. Honestly, a mushy consistency and not all that tasty IMO; glad I tried it but won't eat whale again.
If I ever go back - and it's not Iceland's fault that my father died on the flight there - I will definitely eat at the port's little hot dog stand again. What a fun thing that was!!! 😂 Those who know, know!!!
Wow , what a story. So sorry to hear about your father passing - what an unfortunate situation to be in. It’s great that you were still able to see some of the sights while in Iceland and spend time with your family. Thanks for sharing :)
great video guys. love the personal touches, humor, background music. fun stuff
Thanks Joey!! It’s also nice when people notice the small things! 😁

Norway’s tap water was so clean and refreshing when I went.

Hey! I’ve just come across you guys - a great video and I’m looking forward to watching more! We’re going to Iceland soon and want to visit Blue Lagoon. What was your hair like afterwards? I have long hair and will definitely follow the conditioner advice xx
Hey Florence! Yay! Thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed! That’s so exciting - the blue lagoon is amazing. I have never had such soft light hair before. You’ve got in up in conditioner for a good two hours so it’s like a hair treatment haha!
Awesomeness. ..were the excursions thru the cruise ship
Yes they all were :)
P.S. I loved the Life of Brian moment 😅
Ooo unintentional- where was this moment? 😆 haha
@@chloeandludvig when he opened the curtains and you had a censor over his butt lol
Ahah! We forgot about that bit! Hahahaha@@anakerose
Cruise include a 1 hour free time travel a day.
Will the walking difficult for someone who is not athletic or doesn't do much exercise on these excursions?
Great quest! No - the walks were really easy, no hills and not too long :) i think you’ll be fine!
Ludwig, is Icelandic close enough to Svensk to understand it all?
Hehe he says no - every now and again he might recognise something but other than that, it’s very different
Was this a ship excursion? I'm looking for something like this. If not, do you have a link?
Yes! Everything we did in Iceland was a ship excursion through Royal Caribbean :) it was just relaxing booking something like this rather than trying to figure it out on our own :)
