My wife and I want to visit Iceland, going on your tourist topic. I was raised better than to “be a tourist” when I traveled with my parents. It’s so much better to visit small places and get to know the locals and their culture, and not impose our culture while visiting. I’ve heard the horror stories of people going to Iceland and invading peoples privacy, being loud, rude, etc. We’d fly into Reykjavík and rent a car and head east. Don’t speak much Icelandic but I’m hoping Norwegian can at least help us get by, since I’ve heard Icelanders can somewhat understand what Norwegians are trying to say

I don’t live in a small country but my town is small. Everyone knows everyone so when one person does something wrong someone else just goes and tells his mom on him. It doesn’t matter how old you are. We seem to have a lot of the same problems. Also, when it gets cold we don’t go skiing we all go sledding. We take our kids to the highest hill we can find and we just have fun. But, when it’s hot then everyone wants to go swimming. Thanks for the video. It’s cool seeing the similarities in our countries.

[@matth.7276]

Personally, I wish Iceland would limit tourism for certain times out of the year or block places off more like they do in other countries or touristy places. I hate seeing tourists destroy and humiliate things that are sacred to the Icelandic people.

[@andreashelton]

Matt H. Yeah that annoys me that tourists break the rules anywhere

[@UChris1995]

Tourists should not destroy places, true! But blocking off places is definitely a bad solution. It should be possible for everyone to enjoy the nature. I do know that it is hard to check who destroys things, but limiting access is not the solution. In e.g. the US, their stupid permit system sometimes makes it impossible for visitors to see places if they're not living there and can go at any time. Nature should be a place for everybody (which was why US national parks were developed in the beginning...) and definitely NOT any kind of lottery!

[@tavolaluija]

That’s true. I’m Italian and I’m in Rome right now, and it’s EXTREMELY crowded. Unfortunately, a lot of tourists (foreigners, but also Italians) leave trash everywhere in the streets of the city. And I absolutely hate it!

I live here for more than 2 years and what I like and dislike about Iceland is: - the thing which I hate about Iceland the most is that HORRIBLE WEATHER! - on the other side I like people. They are very nice, relaxed, chilled, not stressing , they dont understimate the others (in my experiences) and always behave to others with respect (even they are in different positions). For example in my country are people many times very angry and rude to other without reason. because they can be. For example in bank to customers, doctors and nurses to patients, teachers to students, at all kinds of offices, etc.. Because they think they are something "more" than others or what, (because they know about situation more). Then people have low self confidence and understimets themselves which is sad :/ In iceland everybody everywhere was very kind to me..in bank, at school, at work (bosses acting like friends :o), at all offices Ive been to, which was very surprising for me. But thats how everybody should behave! we are all equals, nobody is "better" or "worse"! That Iceland taught me and Im thankful for it..

As a Canadian that lived on the prairies, right there with ya with the winter issues with our cars. As soon as it gets below -10 we have to plug our cars in, and once it hits -40 in January or so (some places the poor bastards get -60) we still have issues starting cars. They gotta run for about 30 minutes and you hope the steeringwheel warmed up enough to not burn your hands on it. Then digging the snow out of the way to get out of the driveway is an added bonus. Tempermental weather, wind (though not as intense as what you guys get from what I've learned).

[@jogobella1408]

You have 4 cases in Icelandic, in Polish we have 7 and SO many languages have even more. I strongly believe it's common in every language to have troubles with grammar or spelling (for natives I mean). Half of population in Poland mistake the conjugation or declension of words, and don't know if it should be "powiedziałby" or "powiedział by" (first is correct) or "dziewczynom" instead of "dziewczyną" (correctness depends on the case but some people don't know it). So Icelanders aren't special and alone in that problem.

So, you go to some remote spot and want to enjoy scenery by yourself, but then you might find there are already 2-3 motorhomes parked in the scenic spot. You want to drive somewhere, but traffic is so slow, because of some motorhome moving slowly and not letting anyone pass. Luckily there is no threat in Iceland for motorhome invasion.

Slovakia here ! Probably most people reading this comment will think of Slovenia but that's something different. Slovakia has many similarities to Iceland including hard language, beautiful nature... Enjoyed the video !!!

Great video as usual. I watch a lot of travel vloggers and stumbled upon you just looking for more Iceland videos because that's at the top of my bucket list. I'm the kindest person you'd ever want to meet, but have social anxiety so Iceland is not only one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, but I feel I could travel there without much drama. I'm a single parent who tries to travel with their kids as much as possible, but we have yet to travel outside of the USA because flights are expensive. Thank you for sharing the sad, but true reality of your country and so many others. It disgusts me that people can't be more considerate when travelling. I might not understand entirely the rules that I'm reading, but try to follow them to the best of my ability and def won't leave trash or disrespect people. It seems like common sense to me, but am truly sorry some can be so disrespectful. I think you're one of the lucky ones to live in such an amazing country and can hike or see the most diverse landscape on a day to day basis! I'm from North Carolina and there's not that much extraordinary here. Everything amazing is on the west coast except for Disneyworld. Thanks again and you're an true inspiration to me!!

I get what you mean about tourists. I visited London only twice in my life (I'm from the UK and live in the North) and when I went it was absolutely heaving with tourists. I've never seen anywhere so busy. I felt so uncomfortable with the crowds. I don't know how people from London actually cope with all the people there. It's crazy. :O

[@kerrydavis3681]

I love not far from London and I agree! I go there for a few hours and you can’t move 😂

In German , there is also genetive, Dative, accusative form and I am completely giving up learning this language .

Whenever you feel bit down in Iceland, visit Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. There are 40,000 Icelanders live there permanently. You can speak Icelandic there and get all Amazon parcels.

10:05 and 10:10 could you talk more about the healthcare system and what do you mean by saying they are underpaid? My girlfriend is a doctor and we would like to move to Iceland in the future so the more information we gather, the better! Thank you!

Even though I don’t speak the language, I liked it when you started speaking in Icelandic to fully express how you feel about swimming. 😊 Plus I happen to think your native language sounds quite beautiful 💗

Great video, and very nice eye make up. Shocking, but captivating. I really appreciate you expressing your views and experiences on Iceland. These videos may be for fun, but they're doing more to teach about your home than most young kids will learn in a traditional academic sense. I'm curious if there are various dialects in Iceland and if so are some harder to understand than others.

[@allyd945]

HAHAHAHAHAHA everyone is at IKEA, lmao 😂 a mood! You know, for the weather part it is the same as in Canada!

Hrafna, Hello from Russia! This is a grteat video, specially your speach in Iceladic. It's very beautiful. I adore scandinavian languages and know Norvegian language and now I want to start learning Icelandic! PS. You are great girl!

[@ingerjuni]

Владимир Лекомцев how do you know norwegian?

[@Raven-Winter]

In others countries also most people make mistakes in their native language. I think it's totally normal because a language is alive and evolve constantly. It's not related to the complexity of a language. A lot of languages have cases (German, Finnish...) and it's totally possible to learn them :) BTW your cat is so cute ❤️

[@anomaranomar9290]

As a person who has spent most of their life in Minnesota, I can relate to your first complaint. Also, as an American, I can relate to living in a country where much of the population is terrible at their own language. Anyway, I'm happy your channel is around. It has been my plan for a while to eventually retire in Iceland, so it is nice to hear different perspectives.

[@SchwarzSchwertkampfer]

Ditto, totally agree.

Your native language sounds pretty cool. Like a Warriors' language :P Keep up the good job. Take care.
