  • Come join us on an incredible tour of Iceland's Golden Circle! The day starts out leaving Reykjavik and heading straight to Thingvellir National Park. After that we make a stop at Strokkur Geyser, Gullfoss double waterfall, take a swim at the Secret Lagoon, then Kerid Crater and, lastly, end our day in Seljalandsfoss! As you can see it was a busy day!! You're gonna wanna make sure you watch until the very end! INCREDIBLE FOOTAGE!
    Iceland has been on the top of our bucket list for years so making it here has been a dream come true. You know us, we love nature and being outdoors so you can tell by how happy we are that we are on cloud nine! Don't forget to tune in for our next video where we highlight the rest of the island's awe-inspiring landscapes from our little camper van :). It's going to be pretty epic cause there may or may not be a volcano and a live eruption as highlights!
    Thanks again for being here. You are awesome! Having our TH-cam community grow has been incredible and we have loved getting to hear from you all in the comments. We love you guys! Have a fantastic day!

    Great to see that you are taking full advantage of your relocation to Europe and getting out and about to various countries. That 'second' waterfall off the somewhat beaten track was fantastic (loved that you all don't mind getting a little bit wet). Looking forward to Part 2.

      No, drones are not always allowed in Iceland. But, based on the signs we saw, we were ok to fly where we did during the entire trip. It was great having the drone to get all the angles and see things from a different perspective.

    Uh-oh, now you visited more locations in a few weeks than I did in a few decades! Where will this end up? Booking a moon trip via Amazon? Or getting settled down after the novelty has worn off? Glad you were able to do all that. And thanks for sharing. That gives me some ideas to get traveling again after Covid.

    • @OurStorytoTell
      @OurStorytoTell  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha definitely not going to book a trip to the moon. Mostly due to the lack of travel and the fact that we are now so close to many places, we want to take advantage of places to see since we may only live in Germany for a few years. Plus, we never know where life will take us or allow us to travel. We will be "slowing down" while still trying to see the amazing world. It's definitely not as fast or as short as we would like, but with COVID we all aren't sure where life will be later this year or next year.
      We appreciate the perspective though. there can be a lot of rush with trying to see everything as soon as we can and we are finding that balance:)

    Hi there, nice to see you enjoyed iceland. Seems you also enjoyed sort of back to the roots, to a simple life for certain time living in a van. Funny to see growing Willa especially trying to speak and to communicate more and more telling you her own thoughts. Be carefull, more and more whatever you talk about. Have you realized how she concentrate of following your conversations. She already has as we say here: ears like rhubarb leafs, which means, so big, they hear everything. Good to support her as early as possible to get rid of fears of swimming. Seems you behave like good parents :-D

    Iceland, lots of space for few people. A little foggy and cold when a volcano doesn't break out and paralyze international air traffic.
    But Iceland is not out of the world.
    Many important internet lines lead from Europe to Iceland and from there to America.

Don't worry about 'creating content', slow down and immerse yourself in a place and a culture. Even if you only see a fraction of Europe, it will give you much of an experience of the place.
