Iceland - Zábava
Im Spanish, and I think I would have a very uncomfortable time there
I don't like being constantly cheesy or childish, but I believe that romaticism gives life a sinergic touch that adds to the human experience, and sometimes you genuinely want to complement someone's eyes
I’m in America and I always thought there was something wrong with me for wanting to be upfront about sex. I felt like if I didn’t say my intentions early on then I’m leading the girl on. Now I realize it depends on where the girl is from. This is a real culture shock because people told me I wouldn’t never get sex by being honest and then I watch these videos. It’s crazy. Such a big world out there.
@@abcdefg-wv5nt only if you're handsome. If you're ugly every place on earth sucks
There is something wrong with you if you are upfront about sex. The casual sex in Iceland is disgusting.
@@AdventureThroughLife why is it disgusting? Are you from Iceland?
@@AdventureThroughLife is it true every woman sleeps there with anyone
The cousin app is the funniest thing ive ever heard of
SuperSuperdude88 It was invented in the South.
Fr
Dirty n nasty w/o morals
@@mrbigd75 the whole point of tbe app is to avoid incest, I would say that is very moral!
In Iceland their not looking for Mr. Right, they want Mr. Right Now.
And after be like: nice meeting you goodbye. I'll be in touch after quite some time.
Like most of my job interviews end up minus the fun.
Lol yeah
Icelanders probably would find living in Japan, where you have to be able to 'read the air' to function socially, very difficult.
japanese cheat alot though.
God Fist
They cheat on their spouses ? 😮
Yeah they consider cheating without feeling is not cheating. Lmao
the comments reek of racism
@ British people do the same mate so Japan ain't the only country.
this is why i love this channel so much!! it is not only about dating, it promotes culture!! there is so much in it!!
Don't be fooled by "sexual liberation", this is a complete deception. Our parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so on, had more respect, they didn't go to bed with the first passing by. That is a complete deception that create degeneracy and the couples do not last. When teenagers are so blind, lustfull and so broken, it's hard to find a person that respect himself or herself, and this is bringing the destruction of the family itself. So stop thinking that lie. Sex is not for lust, sex is for compromise and marriage, where if a newborn is conceived, he's not aborted. Lots of abortion now because of this misbehavior. Destroying the future of the families.
@@hijosdelaluzz that's y they are happiest country in the world...If you want to follow a lifestyle just do it ..Dnt push it on others.
@@senthilvs3342 ... False, Iceland is one of the countries with higher suicide rate, above-average of all countries.
@@hijosdelaluzzanyway most of the countries are not liberal mindset.
@@senthilvs3342 Do you want your mother having sex with hundreds of men before having you? No. So, you think about your passion and lust and who you are.

This is the best series in the channel!
These people are missing out on one of the absolute best things in life: courtship. The process of meeting, getting to know each other, long conversations, that first holding hands, that first romantic kiss, the excitement and anticipation of when and where will you have sex for the first time. Sadly, Iceland has turned sex into the equivalent of having a cup of coffee. It seems boring, cold, sterile, and transactional.
Wait, so, because Icelanders are generally sexually liberated and don't frown upon casual sex, we don't have romance, excitement, nor connection? Your perspective on courtship seems too narrow and more informed by Hollywood movies than the lived realities of people here. Having sex just for fun early on in a relationship in no way precludes you from building upon it and making it into something magical.
Hell, I'd argue it is it's own form of courtship, just not the sort that you are personally comfortable with or interested in.
@@BasedBroad If you have sex BEFORE courtship, then the courtship basically never took place. If you don't understand that concept, then you don't understand what courtship is.
@@robertjensen1048 You SCREAM american ... smh
@@robertjensen1048 You're saying that the entirety of courtship is just a long and drawn out process to get someone to have sex with you, and that's the end you're trying to get to? Gross. That's not magical or romantic or exciting, that's just a long and dishonest con game. I like Iceland's way of doing it better.
@@MrSurvivalgecoLP Gawd I hope not. I live in California and I don't know a single person who thinks that way. Maybe some people in very conservative areas of the country think this way, but I tend to think that in any city of reasonable size that you'll find lots of people engaging in casual relationships. Maybe not quite as casual (or at least not as straightforwardly) as in Iceland on average, but this Jensen guy doesn't sound like a typical American to me.
I just love LOVE love the videos you make
As for drinking, my friend stayed away from the bars. He had an airbnb, and bought a 24 of beer at the grocery store. This was much cheaper than going to bars.
can you make more single’s guides to other countries? I loved this series!
@@Nirmal1246 Hey bro, I'll give you my insta? 30 yr old guy here, wanna trade d pics my dude?
Amanda I am here for you..
Nice Rhythm & Blues-heavy Rockabilly from 02:09. Thank for the link. :)
Wow, the whole "everyone has chlamydia" part really puts a downer on the Icelandic experience. Still the dating scene and culture seems really laidback and easygoing.
Except.. everyone doesn't. That's just simply not true lol
@@icyspicy11 I think I wasn't being too clear. It was mostly a tongue in cheek thing. :) I would still like to visit and take in some of that Icelandic culture.
easy diseases yeaa
Johnny Nguyen Chlamydia is very high in the Nordic countries. Safe sex is not too much of a common place.
ecdc.europa.eu/sites/portal/files/documents/AER_for_2015-chlamydia.pdf look at some data b4 commenting idiot. Stupid idiots commenting every where without checking any data. That is why it is so easy to spread fake news on internet
Ahh thankyou for sharing such a important information about iceland
Very nice episode!
This is an awesome travel guide
Great Vlog!
these are the most liberated but also the most unsexual and unerotic people on earth
U can't have everything you want
Cos they cold as ice they just fuck like rabbit to get worm.
People can be erotic/romantic without kinky pretending shit. It’s just about honesty. So if you actually feel love and or sexual tension it’s less of a mind game, because you show it. Honestly the best sex and relationships I have had were the one where people speak up and honestly say what they want.
@@Schwachsinnn being openly honest about one's intimate thoughts is erotic in an otherwise repressed society precisely because it transgresses the norm. If people are constantly reminded of their carnality, then it is no big deal - just sharing friction with someone
You can be honest and still being a little bit romantic... but anyways, there are plenty enough people to fuck on this world, so just go and find whoever fits your standards.
Your videos are soooo good
3:44 That woman who talks about "latinos" and says "oh come on, you just want to shag me" clearly doesn't know what she's talking about. In latin/mediterranean countries (I'm italian) we don't use complimenting as a subtle way to get someone into bed. Our women are way too clever and sharp minded to fall for that bullshit. When we do it, we do because we mean it, because our women love it and we love seeing them getting bright-eyed when we do. If I say to a woman "you have beautiful eyes", it's because I really think she has beautiful eyes, I like looking into them and I like sharing this feeling with her. It is called "communication" and it gets people closer to each other, you know, not just physically as they seem to like it in Iceland. We even do it with women we're not interested in, friends, relatives and so on, if there's something we like in them. Countless times have I complimented my female friends on their looks with no double meaning whatsoever. It's just our culture, but I don't expect everybody to understand it, it's not the first time I have to explain it.
Anyway, miss, no, I definitely would never shag you ffs. :D
I'm hispanic, I see both sides. I completely understand this though. I like having my beauty appreciated without it havinh to lead to sex. It's an agreement we collectively have. Latino men know we want fall for it so easily, but we like to see them try. ;) I also respect the straightforward Icelandic approach as well.
That guy with the glasses sitting with his friend who was eating the hotdog looking thing is 👀👌🏽
Such a fun video! I love it. I am dying to visit Iceland now !!!
Thanks, Natashik! ❤
I'm Latin and romanticism is not just tied to Latin's people I think romanticism is a feeling of a regular human being,but some people just wanna get down and dirty is like having sex with no foreplay. 🤷♂️
Keep the amazing content coming Marina! I loved that this video was more of a blend between dating and travel vlog. Can't wait for part 3 and to see how the date with an icelandic went 😄
Thanks again, girl! :)
nice video, great tips
Those prices seemed to me quite high, so I checked the average monthly income of Icelanders which was 534,000 ISK (5,030 USD/4,290 EUR in 2017 ). Now it all makes sense!
Great content and you seem so fun to hang out and travel with camera man is lucky
Hehe I hope so! Thanks 😁
OMG it’s Iceland 🤗. I want to go back and visit.
I enjoyed this series, please do this for more countries !!!
Norma Medina hola bb
Blue Lagoon looks like a real mellow place. If I ever get a chance to visit Iceland, I'll keep these videos in mind. Dating in Iceland is different from dating in Miami. Great video beautiful!
True Dat....Dating in Miami requires a German car, preferably no older than two years and an Eight ball at a phony hip club on South Beach.
She's merely checking out certain culture that is affiliated with young people and general attitudees and I like it however there is within certain groups of Iceland still the pressure to get married and have kids and be in a relationship. It is usually not talked about and is even more of taboo subject but it's there.
Yeah it's pretty much only the Reykjavík college youth that really thinks this way.
Can you tell us more? Are there actually faithful women in Iceland?
@@bunnystrasse Faithful? None of these people are in a relationship, that's the thing, once they settle I think it's just like in any other country. I think it's more positive that people stay single and fuck around than be in a relationship and constantly be unfaithful.
Good video , greetings for Lima Peru
Absolutely love your videos.
Where do you get your music from?
Love it!!!
I've always wanted to travel to Iceland but definitely not now that you broke down all the prices of just eating! 🤐 eating local cuisine is always my favorite part of traveling to new places but I'm damn sure not traveling to a place where I can barely get a de/cent meal for less that $15!1
I think i would be bored out of my head living in Iceland.
The cousin-lover app seems a little akin to 'The Chart' from the television series 'The L Word'. ;)
3:13
Food.
Go to an Iceland 24 grocers and stock up.
Local restaurants have lunch buffet for under 15€.
Lamb leg is only 35€
Cook at the hotel.
BY the way the cousin app is more of a nerd thing when you meet new people and you are interested in the bloodline, at least for me and thos ppl I know. Also who doesnt not know their cousins? Thats just stupid, you KNOW IF you are so related you are not to have sex. Families are pretty close, I know all my 3rd generation cousins, some fourth. Third, this is a gross misconception, they are talking to some people who party, its not the way it works. Really weird to watch this for me being an Icelander, totally embarassing how ppl respnd to questions. And the lady saying romance does not work, please all of my girlfriends and me complain of lack of romance in Icelandic men, you just made it worse now they will never make an effort. Thanks.
I get it. She is only interviewing the young extroverted demographic and is basically putting out a bias view of how most people really are over there. This kind of culture where everyone just has sex no strings attached can be found everywhere. In the US it's called "friends with benefits". There is even the "wife swapping" and "swingers" culture where couples get together to have sex together or sexually share partners ect..
Do you girls date foreigners? 😂
Asking coz I can keep the romance alive
Sounds like Tasmania but 90% more expensive. That’s a high price to pay for chlamydia ☣️😝
ye but better chicks
@@etiketiran5073 facts
My POV on this 2nd video. At 9:36 and onward, the bartender says "If it's gonna work out it will, if it won't...it won't." So...since Icelandic people are brutally honest, I'll be too. Things in life are NOT always "if it will, it will and if it won't it won't". That's absolutely narrow-minded, stupid and immature. Humans have the capability of showing Empathy, Understanding, Forgiveness (among other things), and these are necessary IF one loves a person and to have a good relationship. Life will throw many challenges that will test couples' love and capacity to show these qualities. Funny how they're so "open" but feel so awkward if asked to kiss (although dating!) in public!...????
Antonio Alvarado exactly!
I just want to say that it is their way of living and who are we to judge? If this mentality works for them, kudos to them. Of course, life will throw many challenges to the couple and individual but the point is to not stress about it and move on.
@@johnnyta4713 Oh, quit throwing the word "judge" around. This is CZcams. It's not like we're these couple's parents.
People always, ALWAYS judge. Judging is observation, offering opinions. And if someone offers an opinion on YT, what difference does it make? You think these people in Iceland are reading this and caring? LOL. Humans always judge. We observe. There's nothing wrong with it.
@@robertjensen1048 You act like I'm constantly using the word judge, and I'm not. I never expected the Icelanders to read my comments, the comments is for our fellow YTers to read and contribute to the discussion. Looks like I hit a nerve
@@johnnyta4713 it's the entire generation under the age of 25 or so who keeps misusing the word 'judge'.
You guys don't even know what the word means.
The young today thing it means "condemn". It doesn't.
Sound is a bit off at around 3:30. Super excited to move there in the spring. Can't believe its $20 for a meal out. Its about $2.5 for a meal out in Kosovo!
yeah but that means having to go to Kosovo... what an awful country
I like this series you should do it on more countries!
I think Iceland people are somehow screwed up in romantic relationships.
6:25 normalising heartlessnes while promoting spreading diseases while North Americans are running up the CN Tower for a cure. 7:20 city of Lot or somo and gamorah?
Romance is romanticized misogyny. Treat a woman like a human being and suddenly you're screwed up? Fuck off :D
So many desperate sexually frustrated virgins in these comments.
cricket fan 5:48
Back in the day when there were limited people on Iceland, they kinda had no choice but to be like this
Iceland is a Tinderized country. Wow!
nice video. i luaghed at some of the comments in the video(with them, not against them)XD
7:27 jo got straight to if lmfao 🤣
There's more people subscribed to this channel than people living in Iceland.
Nice video and thanks for sharing, Iceland is always worth to visit. I have been there my first time in september 2018 along 4000km in 15 days. I published it here in CZcams 7days ago and have already 1000 views so far, thanks for watching my video!
I love your video
I was an AFS student in Iceland. It wasn't QUITE this bad as a teen but I went on to study at UW--Madison so what do I know!
Íslendingarbók aka the cousin app was originally a web-site created in 2004 that showed the relations for Icelandic people. It wasn't really an app for people to use when to have 1 night stand but eventually became that.
Awesome series
Íslendingabók has many other features than just checking if you're related to whoever you're about to bang. Most people don't even use it for that (although you can check just to be sure). You can trace your ancestry back many many generations (as far back as the 14th century or something) see different statistics about your family and stuff; what names are the most common, who's the youngest and oldest member of your family and many other things. It's pretty common to check if you're related to people you know, friends, famous people, and your crush. It's pretty fun to find out you're 4th cousins with Björk or something like that.
When i go to Iceland i will wear Goku Gi with a 竜 kanji. Girls would love that, they have to.
The cousin app blows my mind 🤯
Well its a country with a small population a lot of people are related
Can you do Portugal and Spain and Brazil!!!!!
bro i burst out laughing when i read the title 😂
I really like you as a host.. you seem like a fun person to be around. I'll keep watching:) you made me want to go to iceland
Aww. Thanks 😁😁
10:24 We know how that ends lol
Clamydia haha
10:14 feminists running

2:30 i work at the indian restaurant. Its right next to the American bar
Tabitha is so gorgeous! 😧🙌🏽👑💕
Right?😍🙌🏽😍
No.
can't wait to try out the local food!
Take me to the Iceland right now. 😳😂
#7:56 which App she is talking about? Can anyone spell the name please
Best advice I have is to buy the duty free limit of booze in the airport before going to Iceland so you can pre-game before going out at night.
Too true
You can buy liquor before traveling into the country? They'll let you pack alcohol?
If they are not dating ... so how do they get to know each other and then marry ?
"Why are you doing this to me Marina? Huh?"
What time of year was this?
OK. Can we make a movie about the app? It'll be hilarious!
1:21 what pool is that?
i am wondering how come the subtitles are in my language, Hindi .....
ahhh the couple dating in the bar was really cute
Doubt the girl was Icelandic based on her English accent...
MrPicky and no mate he is the Icelandic of the couple
@@SuperSparkle95 it was obvious that he was Icelandic!
3:53 I feel targeted 🤣🤣
2:59 i work at the indian restaurant
So everyone there has the clap 😂😂
the bartender has such a soothign voice
I think I'm spiritually Icelandic,even though I'm 100% African...their stoic philosophy of "it will take care of itself" is something that works in my life everyday...I love Iceland!!
I was thinking of settling there! Now it's a big 'NO'.... I don't want any STDs.
Which city is this happening in Iceland ?
Great to visit and meet new people! Probably wouldn't date, a little to cavalier for my taste.
now the dirt bags are going to make a mess of the only clean place we had remaining
@@meacomefeyou They are riddled with highest rates of STD's in Europe and fuck their cousins, NOT exactly a clean place is it
Floki would be proud
They actually gave captions in hindi, i can't believe, wow ♥
Yeahh, I just found out after your comment, that's amazing na 🤩🤩🤩
9 dollars for happy hour? They should change the name to sad hour ☹️
Edward Alric typical american attitude, if it is not 10 cents or less it is expensive. Minimal wage in iceland is 3500 usd and avrage wage(I work as chef there) is around 5000 usd.
@@aniketjaiswal3147 Save money and go on vacation there but *use a condom* bring some if you can, they aren't cheap over there.
How we visit Iceland...from india how months visa we can get..it.. plz.share.some.info
Really enjoying these videos. Interested in the wild natural beauty of the country but nothing from these first two videos endears me to their brand of cold hollow non romantic encounters!
3:57 common u wanna shot me !!? 🤣
Shag
subs done very interesting channel--
it's supply and demand. the girls don't have alot of options.
So there in Iceland doing THAT is like going to a public bathroom outside home?
OMG AMAZING, DO DENMARK NEXT ^_^ !!!!!
I am Latino, i will need to learn about culture but it will be difficult
Interesting.
Funny thing I have Dated many different ethnic women I liked the exotic type beauty’s but I always ended up in serious relationships or having feelings for Scandinavian women and especially Swedish girls I did a DNA 🧬 test and it came out danish Norwegian German and English lol 😆
You are most of all a loser you can't forget that
What happened about the date then did you get past the bedroom or kitchen
I think they are wearing any clothes ONLY because of the low temperature /
" Everyone as clamídia..." Better not mentioning it in the ad campaign 😁😁😁. Great second half, looking forward for the conclusion.
Ever heard of a condom?
I know a guy went to whore country Philipines he
Got sick and died before the next month.
I would love to visit Iceland but I don’t think I could live there. Hahah I’m the romantic type
