    Chris and Sara, you continue to dazzle us with your content and talents for story telling with each new adventure. If there was an award for this sort of thing, hands down, it should be yours. Thank you.

      Wow, thanks so much, Trish! It's so nice to hear people enjoy what we love making!

    Whooooooooaaaaaa. The tourism board needs to license footage from y’all! I’ve never seen so many absolutely gorgeous shots in one video! 🤩 Seriously soooo beautiful and the kind of place Pete and I are really bad at appreciating so love watching in vlogs like this one. 😂 Also I’m always in awe of your graphics. The Chattanooga/Iceland population comparison! TEACH ME! (Funny story about that- I used to take/meet exchange students at the airport when I was in college in NYC - as a job for the organizing group not as a weird hobby- and whenever I had Icelandic students, they’d always look around the check in line for someone they knew and I was like “why would you expect to see someone you know at a NYC airport!?” And then I realized how often we know people at the Chattanooga airport and that the population is similar and it blew my mind. And they often did bump into a “neighbor”! Still crossing my fingers we get to bump into each other on our travels eventually! 🤞🙃

    • @chrisandsara

      You had me laughing thinking about you making a hobby of picking up strange students at the airport. I love that you felt the need to disclose that it was a job. lol 😂

    • @chrisandsara
      @chrisandsara  2 роки тому

      Oh that's a great question! Short answer: we loved both experiences. Solo traveling gave us time and freedom to get all the photos we wanted and go wherever looked interesting. On the flip side, it was so fun traveling with others! The group was so stress free and we had an amazing guide who taught us so much and handled every single logistic for us.

    So many familiar scenes!! Iceland is beyond description in many ways. I've gone twice in the last 14 months and have already started planning another trip - with a side trip to Greenland. In 2021 I went to see the volcanic eruption at Geldingadalur and returned this past March to see a little more. I am fortunate to have seen more of that incredible country than most people and realize I have barely scratched the surface. I foresee many return visits during the rest of my life. You guys have done a great job capturing the essence of one of my favorite places on earth. (Did you find the "Yoda cave"???)

    • @chrisandsara
      @chrisandsara  2 роки тому +1

      We now understand the appeal in returning to Iceland multiple times. How cool that you've been able to do so!! I hope your next trip will happen very soon and please enjoy all the hot springs and mountain views for us! Also, I'm going to need to know more about this "Yoda Cave" because this is the first time we've ever heard of it!

  • @zigolleid
    @zigolleid 2 роки тому

    I went to Iceland last year, in the middle of dead cold winter. Everything was covered, no buried under snow, got stuck in the middle of the Ring Road for a couple days, and our tour van got slipped and spent hours to get out from there.
    Would I wanna go back again? Absolutely. When do I wanna go? Winter. I will never forget in my life the whitest white world everywhere my eye touches, the northern lights at the darkest night when I got stuck on the Ring Road, and the purest blue dawn and absolute silence that I met in the middle of nowhere.

    • @chrisandsara
      @chrisandsara  Рік тому

      Hi Christian! We abided by all the rules/laws in Iceland so I'm not too sure of the fines and punishments for breaking the laws. In the few spots in Iceland where drones weren't allowed, we were able to find drone footage of the places via FilmPac. Hope this helps! :)

    Hey guys... I'm really looking forward to more Iceland! You two always have great content. If I could just carp a moment about the music... You must know that everyone has particular and differing taste in vocal music. That said - the instrumentals that you use are great if a bit louder than your talking - I have to keep fiddling with the volume. Don't know if you care about that, but I do absolutely enjoy your videos! Thanks❣
