  • One of the greatest ways to travel Iceland is by van, where you can bring your very own home of wheels with you as you pass raging waterfalls, towering glaciers, and glowing volcanoes. After a year away from van life, we are returning back to simple living as we begin our week-long road trip across the country of Iceland. Join us as we meet our tiny van and begin our road trip with Fagradalsfjall Volcano! 🇮🇸

    Thank you so much for tagging along on the first day of our road trip around Iceland! 🥰 Returning back to van life brought back SO many memories from our year in our little Ford Transit Connect, and I think there will always be a part of us that adores the adventure that comes with traveling in a converted van. 🚐
    Crafting these videos for you all has been my big passion of 2022, and I just wanted to thank YOU for giving us YOUR time and for following along on our journey. There isn’t any other job in the world that we’d want, and it’s all thanks to you that we can continue to wake up and pursue our wildest dreams. 🤍🤍🤍
    Stay tuned for more van videos around Iceland, and watch our hair get progressively dirtier! 😂
    Claire (and Chad) 😁

    I'm an old Icelander that used the opportunity to re-discover my own country in 2020, during the first Covid lull when Iceland was virtually devoid of tourists. I rented a proper camper where I could stand upright (stooping is a pain at my age) and with all the amenities (kitchen, toilet, shower etc.) and, best of all, I could trundle into a camping site anytime I wanted, plug in my extension cord in and have a perfectly nice, warm night!
    Now, young people like Chad and Claire can take a lot of inconveniences in their stride (like having to stoop in the camper and being perpetually chilled), and some even relish these minor "hardships", but I am around half a century past that resilient age!

    Iceland does have stores with towels... I was just in Iceland and there were a ton of camper van rentals -- very popular with tourists!

    What a great idea to do vanlife around Iceland! Definitely adding this to my bucket list 😍 Also, would recommend that you guys get a Turkish hamam towel or a microfibre travel tower - they take up so little space but really come in handy in times like these 😉

    • @ChadandClaire
      @ChadandClaire  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! We totally need to do that. It's been on our list to add to our bag for a while now.

    The official model name of the Fiat Doblò that you rented is the Fiat Doblò Maxi, which is the long wheelbase model. The 2022 model year happens to be the last one for this generation of the Fiat Doblò. Back over in North America, the Fiat Doblò is rebadged as the Ram ProMaster City.

    Do you recommend van life or hotel for an Iceland road trip?

    • @ChadandClaire
      @ChadandClaire  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If possible, I would say both or perhaps a mix! Camping is a wonderful experience, but sometimes the weather can be bad and having a place to stay for the night would be beneficial. It's more of a personal and financial question you'd have to ask yourself. Best of luck!
