  • We are starting to wonder Is winter van life a bad idea? We are still Pro Winter Van Life but today was the hardest day we have had while travelling in our van in Iceland. In todays vlog we needed to make a 3 hours drive through Iceland but unfortunately it was stopped short due to insane weather conditions.
    If you are new to our channel we are travelling through Iceland in winter in a campervan. You can watch our Iceland series HERE - • ICELAND 🇮🇸
    We rented our campervan in Iceland with Happy Campers - check them out

    I am glad the wind was not blowing at you it can cause vertigo effect where it feel like your going backwards even though your going forward only the gages prove your direction. Good driving Caolan calm and safe even with poor Samantha freaking out.

      Oh thank god for that 😂 Caolan did a great job at staying calm while I proper freaked out 🥺 it was very frightening! But we made it safe and sound 🙌 thanks for watching ☺️

      I was scared for you for sure, glad your safe. You did have everything you needed to survive overnight with you. We call that "winter travel gear".@@GoTimeTravels

    OH MY GOSH... That must have been horrifying!! Samantha, I am the same way when driving in the snow - we get awful blizzards here in Utah, (USA) 😣🥶 I'm so grateful that you guys are okay ❤
    I know we've never met, but I have been following you guys for a couple years now and it's crazy how much I adore you both and look forward to every video. Your sweet sprits and humor and wonderful attitudes have helped me get through some pretty hard times. And I can't tell you how many times my son and I have watched your Poland Christmas videos! THE best thing on the internet 🥰 Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and thank you Caolan for being so calm and collected and such a fantastic driver!

      Hey Megan☺️ what a lovely message to send us 🥰 thank you so much ❤️ the roads were crazy at times 😂😂 but most of the time, they were ok 🙌 Iceland is amazing in winter, once you take your time, it’s worth driving through some crazy blizzards 😂
      Aww we are so happy to here that about our Poland Christmas videos 😍 we love Christmas and they were definitely some of our favourite videos to film and that makes us happy that they helped you ❤️ thanks again for your support and such a lovely message, you made our day ☘️💚🥰

    This is why I love following your videos, it's because they are real. I had to laugh when you two were getting ready to hunker down for the night. Definetly not a romantic warm hotel bedroom with all them layers of clothes & bedding. Brilliant video

    • @GoTimeTravels
      @GoTimeTravels  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Ahh thanks so much Mary 🥰 haha definitely not a romantic hotel 😂😂 but very cosy in the camper van😊 it was a really good setup and having the diesel heater made it so toasty 🔥😍

    God love you both for doing the drive in those conditions....NO more night Winter Driving please.....It reminds me of our Winter Driving in Newfoundland!! Scary.
    Love all your adventures, Safe Travels, hugs.

      So true! Winter conditions can be so scary for driving, thankfully we didn’t have this kind of problems everyday but when they came it really made us quite scared 😟

    Wow, the waterfall looks so awesome, breathtaking! Sorry to see you drove through a blizzard, glad you made it safe. That’s so cool to extend the bed, looks very comfortable.

    Haaaa. Samanthat totally sounds like my wife here in Canada. Blizzard and whiteout at night is never fun to drive in. Even if your experienced in it. Then the road starts to get covered over and its hard to tell where the sides of the road are. Too much fun

    • @GoTimeTravels
      @GoTimeTravels  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Haha that’s so funny, 😆 thankfully we have been generally ok with the driving conditions, this was just a really scary one that just hit us on the road, thankfully it was all ok in the end, but yeah winter road trips can be really unpredictable 🫣

    As mentioned we totally had a similar situation today! Wasn’t quite night but we were nervous as well. We were about to turn around but we kept pushing on! We loved seljalandsfoss! We were able to go behind but it was dangerous. I slipped and almost swam in the foss. Loving your series! Great job btw! Gosh that night snow was so serious I felt it. We hiked a trail and when I got to the falls it started snowing alot. Got some epic photos. Glad you guys made it safe. The water comes from the glacier melt. We were going to go to dettifoss but it was closed. 😢😊

      Can you be a little more specific? Is it stop / starting from a technical issue or something else?

      @@GoTimeTravelsit seems to play for 10/15 seconds and then gets stuck. Sometimes just the sounds stops but the video plays. I thought originally maybe it was just my connection being bad, but other videos were ok. I looked in the comments to see if others were having issues but saw nothing. I also watched on lower quality but it’s the same problem….
      Not much more I can say…
