    Well done you. My first solo foreign trip was also Iceland 🇮🇸 at the age of 52. It’s great travelling with my lady or friends and family but being alone is a different experience and one I enjoyed very much. I return to Iceland tomorrow for the 5th time. As excited as the first time and I really do love this country.

      Hey there. Iceland is looking good for a solo traveler. May I ask you how long did you stay? Did you find it as expensive as I have heard a lot of people say? I go solo to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year. Is it quite a lot more expensive than a Vegas trip? ...not the flight but the food etc. I was thinking about just staying in Reykjavik Iceland for 3 days.

    Doing anything alone had been difficult for me up until this year. I didn’t love myself the way I needed too. I’m now planning a trip overseas alone and seeing this video and how happy you are doing it is emotional and beautiful. I never understood how someone could be so happy alone and now that I get it, I yearn for so much more. This was such a beautiful video. Thank you!

What you discover from the first moment is YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE- even if you want to! You will meet so many interesting people-even if you are not a "people" person. *edit* Yes, I'm a guy, but my comments still stand!

    Great video, beautifuly done :) Just a note - You have drone shots from many places where drones are actually not allowed (and signs show that), like Jokulsarlon. I'd try to avoid that, this is the reason drone restrictions are getting more and more common.
