Returning to Van Life in Iceland: It's Going to Be Cold! 🇮🇸

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 from Brazil and i love this chanel!! it's my favorite, thank you Chad and Claire to share your experiences!!

[@Halli50]

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!

Woot! Woot! First to comment!! Always looking forward to your guys’ videos!! Keep up the great work.

[@ChadandClaire]

Fantastic adventure 💟 It's so relatable and cozy when you're on a VanLife soujourn

[@bodvargregersen5161]

Awesome! Your videography and sound tracks were superb. I think your videos are so much fun to watch is because you work as a team which makes your videos so impressionable!

[@itsjeet9005]

Love all your videos!!!

[@debbiegallardo9853]

[@ChadandClaire]

Small world! :D

[@jxph7]

luv the van 👊👊

[@holleym2927]

The van might be smaller but at least it has heat!!!! I believe heat is a necessity in Iceland! Love seeing you two in a van again! Hope it was everything you dreamed it would be! Safe travels!

[@mstephensproductions]

Beautiful stuff, y’all!! We love your videos and noticed the quality on this one seemed a lot better! My wife said “he’s getting very good at those drone shots!” And I’m admiring the color grading. Are y’all trying some new techniques? Great stuff, again! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! ❤

[@ChadandClaire]

Wow thanks for noticing!! :D Claire has taken over the editing process and it has improved our videos tremendously! She color corrects every shot and adds in additional audio. :D

[@mike123abc]

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

[@ChadandClaire]

hahaha idk why we were so stubborn on not buying a towel.

[@MillaExplores]

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]

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

[@obamaspain]

Hi from Spain!

[@jerrycratsenberg989]

Thanks for sharing your marvelous adventure with us. We enjoy every moment with the two of you!

[@obamaspain]

Lovely work! Which camera do you use guys?

[@MatteaandChris]

This is awesome!! What was your route and what were your favorite stops along the way?? 😀

[@krysnicol1989]

Did you 2 have to bringing all of yours sleeping bags, cooler cooking stuff or was it provided with the van?

[@barbaraheck5638]

What were the temperatures like when you were there? What type of layers did you wear?

[@mariesunnnn]

How many days in advance were you guys booking your campgrounds? ☺️

[@markphillips8019]

Play Ja Ja Ding Dong!!!

[@ChadandClaire]

hahahaha yes!! great recommendation!

[@bradyreed3457]

You guys doing the Ring Road (on my bucket list)?

[@ChadandClaire]

Sadly we are not doing the entire road, but we are doing the southern section of the ring road! :D

[@DVaccarelli1988]

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.

[@ChadandClaire]

That's so interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@DVaccarelli1988]

@@ChadandClaire You're welcome!

[@carara979]

heard fr Finn show d blogger his a Icelandic that washroom water is actually drinkable👍

[@sbkpilot1]

Are you doing a cost breakdown for Iceland?

[@ChadandClaire]

We were not planning on it, but we totally could! If we do, it would probably be a post on instagram.

[@Haloumakh97]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤📷

[@Peachlover345]

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

[@ChadandClaire]

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!

[@livmarlin4259]

Chad is my future husband! 😍😍

[@JustinBrehm]

Great video though Claire does worry me with the cutting skills always made your fingers go inward so you don't cut them off and your knuckles would suffer if anything

[@ChadandClaire]

She's a dangerous cookie! I will inform her of your advice.
