    Thanks for the video. It was real dark after showing the city of map. Then I realized it was November, and Reykjavik is the northernmost capital. What time was it? I know Iceland is very safe. I still want to make sure its safe to walk in the dark. Since it has long dark day, does impact travel. I want to go in October. I want to see Northern light. I hope I can do both. I know NL depends on nature. want to make sure sightseeing is not impact by long dark days

    Considering food and gasoline and most other things have to be shipped in, prices don't seem that bad. You showed a sign with a milkshake for 950 IKR - that's like $8 USD which is about right for a proper milkshake from a store like that.

      The sun rises at around 10 in the morning and sets at 4 in the afternoon. And in another month there will be even less light. But on the upside, it never gets dark in the middle of the summer.

    Seems kind of odd that a very cold country would be way into ice cream. But, I also prefer eating ice cream during the winter months and not during the summer. Maybe it has to do with the body wanting to take in the fat and calories so you have plenty to help keep you warm.

    Hello Gabriel, I have ordered GoPro Hero 5 from Amazon along with 64GB microsd card. I'm traveling to Nepal during Christmas holidays. Do you think 64GB is enough for 1 week trekking, say if I use my camera for 2-4 hours/ day? If 64gb is not enough, I would buy one more memory card. I have no idea about GoPro cameras or their video size.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  Před 7 lety

      I'm not sure about the GoPro 5 but they do use up quite a lot of space so I would suggest getting another 64gb just to be safe. You don't want to run out of room to record while in such an epic place. Which trek are you doing?

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  Před 6 lety +3

      I guess I'll get a silver play button, so that's pretty cool. And I can apply to get the official check mark thingy. As for how much you make, it isn't so much about subscribers as it is how many views you're getting. For example if you check socialblade.com you'll see I'm getting about four times as many views per month as Hey Nadine, even though she has more than three times as many subscribers as me. Then if you figure people make about $1.50 per 1,000 views you can get a rough idea of how much someone is making per month.

      Martin Grahan It's not. First of all, you only saw part of the city. Secondly, you don't go to Iceland for the urban areas, you go for the nature. Strokkur Geyser, Gullfoss Waterfall, the Blue Lagoon, etc. are all VERY fun locations in Iceland. Take it from someone who has gone, it's a trip you won't regret taking.
