Don't feel awkward or embarrassed. You're channel is a HUGE positive resource for anybody that is genuinely interested in your culture. I'm from the US and love to learn others' culture. Admittedly recently the viking wave has brought me to learn more about Iceland and ultimately your channel. You are very brave in what are doing. Always be confident in everything you do. Keep pursuing your dreams because your dreams were given to you to go after.

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

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!

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.

Every country has to deal with things like that. As a German from Bavaria i get questions like "oh why don't you wear Lederhosen " " don't you listen to German folk music" "how is it to live in a country most of the others hate because of WW2" and omg, tons of Nazi jokes... some people you just met a few hours ago go right in it because they think all of them are funny. No matter what country and generation, 100 years ago or today. These stereotypes will survive us all :) I think most of these people are just really clumsy and socially awkward and don't really mean it in a bad way. But I get it, sometimes it's a bit frustrating.

As a Bostonian, I agree with you about frustrating tourists. However, because I have traveled to many different places outside of the US, I have learned so much about cultural differences, so I always take that into account before I get upset about anything. Also, Boston is such an eclectic, melting pot of people, that does help us to be more accommodating to visitors from all over.

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).

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.

For example "juoksentelisinko" means "I wonder if I should run around aimlessly" or "koirinenikin" means "even with my dogs" There are a lot longer and crazier examples but they get too crazy even for native speakers ^^

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.

I have already taken the Icelandic pledge. I am from London, I love my city and its Royal Parks (in this place people leave litter, get FAR too close to the deer and don't respect these areas the way they should) but I understand what you mean about tourists being EVERYWHERE when you want to explore where you live, also...not all tourists but some; the lack of respect they can demonstrate for the place they are visiting is insane! It is not difficult to be a good and respectful tourist, just takes a little research.
