ICELAND VLOG 🇮🇸 reykjavik, the secret lagoon, puffins, glacier hike, the golden circle, cat cafes‪@inspiredbyiceland‬

[@troybee7815]

Iceland is just crazy gorgeous. It's like the land you imagine in every fantasy novel or fairy tale. So glad you guys got to visit. Like no other place on Earth. Y'all should hit the Shetlands next. The remoteness is just... well... it's just. No words. Thanks to you and a reluctant Kurt for making the world smaller. Keep it up!

[@caricakes]

oh definitely! all those islands way up north are unreal. a lot of iceland reminded me of northern scotland :''')

[@mattkean1128]

The urge to just move to Iceland.

[@caricakes]

1000%

[@2hearts1seoul]

I don’t know what I loved more-the cats or the gorgeous scenery 🥹

[@caricakes]

iceland would be paradise for you!!!

[@pendragon2012]

Damn, I am so jealous. I would LOVE to visit Iceland! Thanks for letting us "tag long" virtually, Cari! Glad you had fun!

[@caricakes]

it really is all its cracked up to be - a truly amazing place!!!

[@DaisyWarrior111620]

teared up SEVERAL times during this video holy crap 🥹 this video gives me hope that maybe one day i'll be able to see these amazing wonders of the world, too!!!! so glad you had such an incredible trip and thank you for sharing it with us!!!

[@caricakes]

we really live on a beautiful planet!!

[@Sthemingway]

I love that your Reykjavik accomodations came with an adorable cat. Geysir gave me The Shire vibes. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I love seeing you having a good time on your travels.

[@caricakes]

moli was the highlight of the trip hahaha

[@mgw9127]

Imagine living surrounded by such beauty, I’d be so inspired! That Yoda cave was amazing!

[@caricakes]

right?! and most of it is just open and free so you can visit any time!

[@Gillygillgilly]

You captured the trip so beautifully, I'm tearing up just watching everything back! Thank you so, so much again for a once-in-a-lifetime trip ❤❤

[@caricakes]

thank YOU!! it was seriously the highlight of my year :'''')

[@DianeC1975]

Stunning, Cari. I cried when I saw the puffins. They're such a special bird. You filmed this so beautifully. Iceland is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🤗💕💕

[@caricakes]

even our tour guide was so excited to see them!!!

[@jessroboter]

@@caricakes I live in Newfoundland, CA and no matter how many times I see puffins, I get super excited. They are the best!

[@Patatepourrie]

The whole glacier and iceberg montage with clips of different chunks of ice had my brain immediately screaming “ICE IS MY LIFE!” like Kristoff in Frozen 😂

[@tattooedkittykat]

Me always getting FOMO from watching your travel vlogs 😆 Iceland is a bucket list destination for me 🫶

[@caricakes]

yesss hope you can make it there!!

[@yerwrstnitemare]

I cannot quite explain the sensation but your blogs bring me so much peace. I’ve been having a stressful week and hadn’t had time to watch one in a while but sat down for this & feel like a wave of calm has washed over me. Thank you

[@courtneyprantl2653]

I've visited Iceland twice and I still can't get over how gorgeous it is. ❤🇮🇸

[@liqiz1755]

It really is!🎉

[@RavenStorm1031]

little ms. moli was the STAR of this vlog!! she was so darn precious!! also those puffins were so darn cute!!!! this whole vlog was so cool def one of my top favs of yours!!

[@caricakes]

she was the best :'''')

[@ossswin]

Cari Cake's Queer Girls Trip sounds like a super cozy travel+self discovery book not gonna lie. Also I'm dying to visit iceland now, thank you for bringing us along, Cari!

[@Meow-Meow501]

Best travel vlog of Iceland I’ve ever seen Cari. The country should pay you for that on their tourism website. Absolutely a bucket list item.( one of my favorite parts to your vlogs is the music you put to it Cari. Don’t think that goes unnoticed.)

[@caricakes]

🥹🙏🥹🙏

[@nohabash5779]

Cari if you haven’t already, I highly recommend you watch the Icelandic show Katla! Aside from the AMAZING scenery (which you obvi saw), the plot is focused on the folklore of the “alien” bacteria & the mystery of the volcanic glaciers, etc. I think you’ll love it!🙏💜

[@thattinyfox]

The moment in the dark cave just gave me chills, I got teary and I wasn't even there, thank you for sharing it!! (And everything else, Iceland is beautiful) ❤

[@AmberandtheOutdoors]

I’ve been following your Channel for a while and finally decided to comment! This Iceland vlog is amazing and couldn’t have came at a better time for me as I’m going to iceland for a 1 week tour next week and having watched your video I’m inspired to give glacier walking a shot. Thanks for sharing such great content and shots of the stunning scenery 😊

[@ChloeTheePayne]

it honestly made me really emotional to watch the experience of the darkness in the cave, what an incredible gift for that tour guide to share not only the WOW factor of just how dark it is but to also foster that moment of profound silence and really listening... thank you for sharing!

[@b00kieman]

I’m just now watching this vlog, I’m in actual tears. The beauty is unfathomable, I had no idea I could experience something so visceral through a youtube video. Thank you for filming this magical experience, Cari, for taking the time to think of us and show everything. I pray that I will have a chance to see such a stunning place in my lifetime.

[@stephengardiner5410]

Seriously, that was more than 'just' a vlog, that was a truly beautiful travel documentary - stunning! The locations, music, edits, all combined with your easy-going narration made this a joy to watch. The Iceland tourist board should get in touch with you asap and hire your services! Can't wait for the next one...🥰😁

[@caricakes]

thank you so much :'''''')

[@Bananahammockingbird]

Oh my, wonderful video Cari, I cried a lot looking at the beautiful mountains and foss! So amazing that this planet gives us such a magical experience if we open up to it I am in awe! Amazing content as usual

[@joanahenriques8863]

Iceland looks insanely stunning, but the editing was the best thing ever ❤ probably one of my faves ever! And everyone seemed so happy 🥹

[@rajshree9801]

This vlog is so beautiful,raw and wholesome at the same time. Thanks cari for this wonderful vlog🤩

[@AlmaGumundsdottir-gz1ik]

Just wonderful vlog. I'm Icelander, studied internal.tourism in the Uni. of Iceland, was a manager of Vikings museums and the old sagas and more. You do it with a great respect for the nature. Thank you so much for this beautiful travel history. And yes we here are so bonded with the nature. And it's so peaceful out in the nature.

[@literadebs]

The most beautiful vlogs are cari's vlogs, i feel so calm watching these

[@kibs2563]

God, i miss Iceland so much. I was there in 2018, did a similar tour as you and for me, it was life-changing. Thank you for taking me back.

[@gabbyreads]

Iceland is so incredibly gorgeous!! Thank you so much for vlogging this experience, what an amazing trip! 🥹💖

[@itsvaleriee]

i was just there last month and seeing all those places i went again got me all teary!! 😭even just out the window driving around, everywhere you look you see the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life.

[@heartofstone_]

I just recently discovered your travel vlogs and I looooove them ❤ You have such a way to capture the beauty and engergy of the places you visit 🥰 Thanks for taking us along with you! Iceland is so ridiculously gorgeous. Glad you enjoyed it so much! I went for a two weeks hiking trip in the Icelandic highlands a few years ago and it was just wow! I still can't believe I was there when I look at my pictures. It's just so unreal!

[@beccabooked]

This is the most beautiful vlog ever 🥹 thanks for taking us along!

[@BrendaMichelleReads]

Thanks for bringing us along Cari! 💕 Even though its digitally I felt like I was there. I'm so happy you all had a wonderful time. Iceland has been on my bucketlist for a long time 😍 hopefully some day I get to see it.

[@laurine5756]

[@LanNguyen-qh7wb]

Iceland is so magical, thank you for sharing 💙

[@NadzHas]

I literally cried while watching this ( don’t worry happy tears). Or maybe because this is one of my bucket list places to visit & that I may not be able to visit in my life time 🥹.. and watching you and the awesome gang touring around.. was so wholesome! But thank you Cari for making this trip happen I loved every minute💕

[@caricakes]

i hope you get to see it with your own eyes and then you'll REALLY cry hahahha
