We're glad you enjoyed our video! You might be surprised to learn that most of this video was filmed using our iPhones, a GoPro, and a drone. We have iPhone 13 Pros (fairly old at this point and we're hoping to upgrade to the newest model soon), but we find the clarify, stabilization and quality of photos and videos to be really great. We also have a GoPro Hero 10 that we sometimes use. Our current drone is a DJI Mini 3 Pro, compact and great for travel, but the footage you see in the Iceland video is actually filmed on an older drone that we no longer use but still love (DJI Mavic Air). We also use a Sony a7iv mirrorless camera and it shoots great photos and videos. Another camera we've used and loved for almost a decade was an entry-level Nikon DSLR camera (the D3200). We've found that the best camera is the one you have with you! When we travel, we might bring 3-4 cameras with us, but often we find ourselves pulling out our phones due to how convenient and compact they are to travel with. We hope this helps you decide what to bring on your trip. You're going to love Iceland! Thanks for watching and happy travels!

You are awesome! Thank you so much for your time you took explain and give a clear idea of what to use. Thank you so much Karin and Jeremy. My husband and I watched your video fully at least twice by now and planning .. A big thank to you both

The fair is right around the corner and we can't wait, and we're glad you're planning to go too! The food we mentioned was the quesabirria tacos from Andy's Garage at the International Bazaar (you can see us try them in our Corn Dog vs Pronto Pup video: ua-cam.com/video/IAjnSJlaVfU/v-deo.html). Sadly, they aren't going to be at the fair this year. Some of our other fair favorites: deep fried olives on a stick from Fried Fruit and Fried Olives, mini donuts from Tom Thumb, and of course pronto pups! Thanks for watching and we hope you have a blast at the fair!

@@MappingIt Ah, I missed that one but will definitely watch it. Agree about the fried olives. Yum! And pronto pups are my daughter's favorite.

That is awesome! We loved exploring Croatia, the scenery, the history, and the incredible food!! We hope you have a blast on your trip, and thanks for watching!

When we visited Lofoten, we rarely had to pay for parking (other than paying for some camping spots). There are a lot of pull offs on the side of the road where you can park for free and enjoy scenic views for a short time. We didn’t go into Reine, so we’re not sure how much parking would cost, but in the other towns we visited there were always free places to park. As for the scenic viewpoint in Hamnøy, there is a small pull off on the side of the road near the bridge that you can park at for free and then walk over the bridge to get nice views. Just don’t stay long because it’s a very popular spot and everyone wants to park there. There’s also a pretty large parking lot in Sakrisøy near Anita’s Sjømat and you can get a really tasty fish sandwich and then walk about 1km (about 15 minutes) over to Hamnøy for some nice views. One other option is to stay at Eliassen Rorbuer in Hamnøy so that you can stay in one of the red fisherman’s houses and enjoy constant views of the mountains around you!

The Julian Apls are lovely! We did follow Rick Steves itinerary, we love his guides, they are so helpful! Getting a rental car and driving through the alps is so much fun! Thanks for watching and have a great trip!

It probably took us around 60-90 minutes. We stopped for some photos and a snack as well

@@MappingIt thanks for your reply - i am finding various comments online and some are indicating its a very long walk. thanks for your information much appreciated

We visited Nusa Penida during the rainy season at the end of February so there were fewer people there

Thank you! Now that we know how easy it is to use eSIMs when traveling, there’s no reason to pay $10 per day to the cell phone companies to use international roaming! We’re saving a lot of money and we hope others find this video helpful too!

There are so many waterfalls in Iceland, it definitely deserves the name! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!

We're so glad you're enjoying them and hopefully they inspire you to travel more!

Thank you, that's so nice to hear! We've got a lot more adventures planned, and this isn't going to keep us down! Thanks for the support and for watching!

That is so nice to hear, thank you! We have a lot of adventures coming up, including going back to the MN state fair to try all the new foods for 2024 so stick around! Nothing's gonna keep us down! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

You betcha we are! We're planning to try all the new foods, even deep fried ranch dressing! 😆

Yay im excited too i cant wait to try the waffle burger and the new beers cant wait for the fair vlog​@@MappingIt

We are definitely going to the Minnesota State Fair this year! We can't wait and we're counting the days!

The heat in Singapore is no joke, but we survived 😄 We love the food and hope to go back and try even more! With only 5 days, you may want to stick to the highlights of Iceland: Reykjavik and the South Coast, maybe add on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, or the glacier lagoon depending on your preferences. If you like to go at a slower pace, we'd recommend staying 5 nights in Reykjavik and doing day trips to different places. Snaefellsnes, the Golden Circle, and parts of the South Coast (like Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss) can all be done as day trips. And then you could spend the rest of the time exploring Reykjavik. Alternately, if you like a fast pace of travel, you could split your time between Reykjavik and the South Coast. A couple nights in Reykjavik will be plenty of time to explore the city and maybe do the Golden Circle, or stop by a thermal bath like the Blue Lagoon. You could spend 3 nights in Vik and see a ton of things: Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Reynisfjara beach, Fjadrargljufur canyon, and a glacier or two! You could even do the long drive out to Jokulsarlon (if the road is open) and do a zodiac boat tour. You're going to have a blast in Iceland! Thanks for watching and happy travels!

@@MappingIt Wow, thank you for the comprehensive reply! Appreicate it :D I will take sometime to match the places you mentioned to your video lol We have a lot of good food here(multicultural too: eg. Malay, Indian, Chinese). Oh, and durians! If you get a chance, do try the King of fruits, the taste is heavenly but some people are turned off by the smell. Happy travels to you too!

Thanks! Lofoten is such an incredible place, we had a lot of fun exploring! Thanks for watching!

If you don't stop to take photos, it's probably about a 15 minute walk to the top, with about 100m of elevation gained. It's a pretty easy path up and there are a handful of smaller waterfalls along the way to enjoy. We spent about 2 hours in total but we also ate lunch and took tons of photos while we were there. If you're more efficient with your time, you could probably do it much faster than us. We love Dynjandi, it's one of our favorite falls in Iceland! Have a great time and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much, we're glad you're enjoying our travels through Norway!

That's exactly why we make these videos, so people can decide for themselves if it's worth a visit. We had fun walking through Nusfjord and exploring the different historic buildings, but not everyone will find value for the price you pay to enter the town. Thanks for watching!

The Minnesota State Fair is super popular and on very busy days it can have over 200,000 people attending! We were there on one of the busiest days of the fair, so it was packed!

We tried so many foods, some were delicious, and some were a hard pass! We're really looking forward to this year's fair! Thanks for watching!

That word gets us every time! 😆 But it was super accurate for the chips we tried. Thanks for watching!

We're glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

Kitchen 5 ended up being one of our favorite restaurants, we definitely recommend it!

It was very good, we definitely recommend giving it a try!

Thanks for watching!

That's really interesting information and great to know! Thanks for sharing with us! We loved exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina, seeing the beautiful scenery and the historic cities and trying delicious food! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for bringing it our attention, looks like the Airbnb host changed the listing. Here's the correct link for the Airbnb we stayed in in Dubrovnik (and we updated the link in the description too): www.airbnb.com/rooms/1071725449808874146?source_impression_id=p3_1719668875_P3xaunMAjuOAGD89

We've only been to Bosnia in July, so we're not sure if the flowers will still be in bloom in October. It might depend on what the weather is like and if there's been a lot of rain/cold days. Thanks for watching!

We're glad you liked it! You're going to have the best time in Lofoten, so much to see and do! Thanks for watching!

We're glad you're enjoying our videos, thanks for watching!

We loved our time exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina, it's so beautiful! Thanks for sharing that info, it will be good to know for the future.

We loved exploring this beautiful country! Thanks for watching!

That's great to hear, we're glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

@@MappingIt of course! Also, which camera do you guys use? I’ll be going soon and not sure what to get. Yours seems good and stable while walking!

It might surprise you, but for pretty much everything you see in the Croatia video, we used our iPhone 13 Pros (they're pretty old at this point) but it goes to show that you can get great footage just from a phone! We shoot in 4K and the video quality and clarity are excellent, plus the built in stabilization on the iPhones is great for shooting video when moving. We also use a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, a Sony a7iv mirrorless camera, and a GoPro Hero 10. We love the quality of photos and videos from all of these cameras as well, but our main vlogging camera is our iPhones.

It was pretty cold in December, but not too bad (but we're from Minnesota, so we're used to cold weather). We were very comfortable with winter coats, gloves, and scarves. Layers are your friend because it can be windy at times. There wasn't much snow while we were there, but it did rain a lot, so we definitely recommend packing an umbrella or raincoat. Thanks for watching!

@@MappingIt thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

We read about that tradition while we were researching for our trip, but once we arrived, we completely forgot to look! It's entirely possible they still do this, but we didn't see any while we were there. Thanks for watching!

We had some locals cheering us on so it was a little easier with their support 😄 and we now that we've done it, we can say we've gone swimming in the arctic!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

We just messaged our Airbnb before we got there to ask them to organize a driver to pick us up from the harbor. When we got off the boat, there was someone holding up a sign waiting for us, it was great. And after we got to the Airbnb, we were able to have them organize a sunrise tour. We highly recommend reaching out to your hotel or your airbnb host to have them help you organize a driver. If you're interested in where we stayed on Nusa Penida, you can find the link in the video description. Thanks for watching and have a great trip!

We hope you have as much fun as we did! Thanks for watching!

You make a good point about the fiskeboller! 😄 We have a lot of fun adventures in Norway to share and some incredible bucket list activities being crossed off, so it should be a lot of fun! 🇳🇴

We're glad to hear that locals love Irma just as much as we do - the food was the best! Thanks for watching!
