We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

    The one thing about Reykjavik I hate is: I'm not there.
  • @XandWacky
    In case anyone is wondering: It's expensive due to the fact it's an island in the middle of the northern ocean where it is freezing. It's expensive to fly or to pilot a boat this far out. Iceland also grows, produces, and sells its own stuff but even that can be expensive.

    I am one of the 5 thousand people that live in keflavík you know the place where the airport is so like this comment because the chances of you seeing a comment from keflavík are very slimm
  • I'm half Icelandic and though your video was really accurate. Just make sure you venture outside of Reykjavik, out to places like Akureyri, Höfn, Ísafjordhur and Vík!
  • @vickinewman8086
    'Hate' the weather? I'm going to Iceland FOR the weather, the snow, the ice. Who goes to Iceland expecting a heatwave
  • @bigbear10169d
    I can't wait to go to Iceland! I haven't traveled since i was a kid... I'm going in late November for 6 days, and this will be my first solo travel, so hopefully everything goes good!
  • @eddasoley4115
    I live in Reykjavik and I am so happy to hear that you all like Iceland so much 🥰
  • @wainber1
    I consider Iceland one of the safest countries in the world.

    I was there last year, in May. Brrr! The smell of the water was a bit of a surprise, but it makes your skin and hair very soft. I loved the quality of the food. Totally worth the price. I'm from the San Francisco area, so I wasn't shocked. The people are super cool! Not pushovers, but if you can spend a bit of time with a native, you'll have a friend for life. Oh, they can get a bit annoyed. Due to government/business support, many feel like the tourists are taking over their country, especially Reykjavik. As a result, not everyone is glad we're there. Btw, I'm enjoying your vlogs.

    I will be leaving for Iceland tomorrow and I have been researching this country since December of last year. I am renting an AirBNB and grocery shopping to save money. I have booked 3 excursions in advance so that I have plenty of spending money. I look forward to the Game of Thrones tour and I plan on driving to a lot of the waterfalls instead of paying to travel to these places. Thanks for the information. Very Helpful!
  • @BillGreenAZ
    Speaking of wind, thanks so much for investing in a better microphone so we can hear you during the windy days.
  • @ProvokedCoffee
    I love how non icelandic poeple say our names and words
  • @MLKYWY503
    Thanks so much! We're heading to Iceland at the end of July. You have been a resource for us for at least the last 5ish years. I love that you keep it simple and straightforward.
  • @queenbee786
    I just spent three days in Iceland and totally fell in love. The people were absolutely amazing. The nature omg it's incredible. We ended up doing the Golden Circle one day and the Southern Iceland tour the next and the black sand beach, walking behind sejlandsfoss, and getting out to Vik was absolutely breathtaking. Didn't get enough time to head out to the blue lagoon this time, but I'm already planning a return trip.
  • @mlkeeth
    We had such a wonderful stay in Reykjavik that we are on the way back for more. Art, music, charm, breathtaking nature, swimming pools, spas, and truly lovely people.
  • @jamasunda
    The reason why hot water smells of sulphur is because of its geothermal origins. :3 Cold water shouldn't have any hot water residue (they're from different sources), but there might be some hidden in the tap so I advise those who want their (delicious) drinking water, to run the tap for a few seconds to clear the (possible) residue out... and to get even colder water that way! :D
  • @prasbhat8825
    100 percent accurate. Can relate to everything as I visited in ‘22. Superb video❤
  • @PauloAlmeidabcn
