Literally the best travel videos ever! I’m sold! Also, I love the Suitcase Monkey sign that your driver had when picking you up from the airport 😂
Even while not planning to go there soon, I loved watching and consider myself a more prepared traveller 😃
16:19 woow the magical view
Very well explained
Great video as always. Heading to Iceland as a stopover for a few days in December. I planned option A and B pending on the weather. We are used to driving in winter weather so not too concerned but will still be smart and watching forecast. My bucket list is to do the warmer weather option with camper and go around entire country. Take care –
Love you guys
May 19-22 Reykjavik
Then prima
Bus great circle
And southern black sand dimond beach
I love the “what you need to know” videos – always great resources. Thank you!
You’ve covered everything I wish I had known before visiting. Thanks for sharing your insights and making Iceland even more exciting to explore! ❄✨
Thank you so much for this video! I’m watching from Prague, and it was incredibly interesting and informative. I discovered so many new places and helpful travel tips thanks to you. You’ve truly inspired me for future adventures! Can’t wait for your next uploads!❤❤❤

Thanks❤
Very good video ❤ I will see the pdf too and revert 😊
My daughter is going there in a couple of weeks, I have shared your informative video with her. How much cash should she bring? Is it even necessary? Can she use credit card in most places? We are from the U.S.
Very nice video, as always. My husband and I watched and he said: ah, the tall guy. He remembers how you tried to get into Buddah’s nose in Nara. Ha ha. Question: in your research, do you know where to watch whales, either Iceland or Norway?
