I was impressed! It wasn't that easy sometimes, but for the most part there was at least a few vegan options everywhere we went! The vegan restaurants are great and the grocery stores have lots of vegan options. I loved pastries too! It was nice to see how popular plant-based eating is there
the dates with licorice powder on them is from a Swedish brand. They also have other dates. like Salted Caramel Peanuts (taste like Snickers), Raspberry and Licorice, Sweet Peach, Sour Coke, Tropical Fruits. They are very popular here in Sweden :)
Thanks for letting me know! We talked about visiting Sky Lagoon too but there wasn't time this time. I'll remember it for next time. And I agree. I loved the food there! Especially the pastries 🥐
Loved this vlog! I spent a week in Iceland back in 2010 on my way home to New Jersey after spending a year working as an au pair in Denmark. I couchsurfed and met the nicest Icelandic people. I got to go to a local swimming pool which was an amazing experience. Folks of all ages having a nice soak in the geothermal pools. It was very inexpensive too, which is rare for Iceland.
Wow that sounds like an amazing trip! I would love to visit Denmark one day too 😊😊 And agreed, it's so cool that pools are such a centering aspect of community life there
It was! So colorful and fresh 😊😊 I wanted to get it but I was SO cold on this day so something warm was calling my name but I might try to recreate that salad at some point because it looked amazing
Thank you so much Elsje! This comment made me smile 😊😊 I worked really hard on this vlog so I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! Hope you have a great day
@@NikkiVegan Hi Nikki - your channel is one of the best I follow. You never have to worry that your content is not 5-star. It ALWAYS is one of the best out there and its always clear that you put your heart and soul in everything you do. Thank you for that. You have no idea how many people you inspire with your ideas.
That looks like the most relaxing place on Earth! I never would have imagined there were so many amazing things to do in Iceland. Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks Yosely! I'm so glad you liked this vlog 😊😊 I feel like there's so much to do there, but it's quite spread out! I barely scratched the surface so I def need to go back and explore more some day. I'm lucky to have had family members there who knew where to go and what to do. We were able to squeeze a lot into a relatively short trip ❤️
I'v been thinking about visiting Iceland for a while and now you've sold me on it! It looks so amazing and beautiful. The food and drink seems incredible, and I really love finding new coffee shops or cafes when traveling. Your mention of the celebrity cat made me giggle out loud 😄 That fragrance display was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing and thanks to your aunt and cousins for letting us into their home ❤ I appreciated the labels in the corner of the video of where you were, too, so it's easier for us to plan our trip 😊
What a gorgeous vlog!! Thank you so much for inviting us into your travels and the intimate and wholesome moments you shared with your beautiful family. Stunning vlog, thank you for sharing Nikki!
Aw thanks Diana, that was my favorite part of the vlog so thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed seeing those moments too 🥰 Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great day
Such a beautiful land and scenery. I have seen the blue lagoon on another RUclipsrs channel and it just looks like an amazing experience. Glad you enjoyed connecting with family and making new memories-safe travels home.😊💞
Beautiful video! I always wanted to go to Iceland, and now I want it even more! You made me miss Europe with the last couple of videos....I am from Italy....living in North Carolina.

This comment put a big smile on my face! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed this vlog and that it was helpful too. I hope that cat is there when you go, please report back! lol And thanks for letting me know that the location labels were helpful, that's great feedback and exactly the kind of the thing that helps me so much when making future videos, so thank you 😊 I hope you have a great trip! Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help ❤️
@NikkiVegan dying to plan an Iceland trip very soon. Super cool video, love all the locations and classic Nikki magic. Have a safe trip and enjoy yourself!
Ooh I'm so early! Totally agree on the Blue Lagoon being relaxing - I went in December (Christmas Eve) and it was way more packed and hard to see because of a lingering blizzard😅 But in all my travels, definitely one of the most precious places I've ever been. Ahh if you go to Reykjavik again, you should try Plantan Kaffihús - the coffee was amazing (to my now Parisian standards) and to die for vegan rolls. Glad to see you've had a good time!!
Ah good to know! Thank you!! And I agree, it's such a unique place. I really enjoyed it. I'm glad you had a nice time there too 😊😊 And definitely adding that coffee house to my list. I can't get over how good the vegan pastries were. I want to try them all lol
AMAZING❤ Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, family and you time in Iceland. The way you vlogged this whole segment made me feel I was right there with you. The food and places you went were so lovely, cozy and cute😊 Glad you had a good time and I’m sure Nicholas will be happy to have you home. Thanks again for posting🥰
That was a beautiful and very informative vlog Nikki, thank you. Im so glad you are able to get back and visit family there and enjoy the two lovely countries. Next time you'll have to take Nicholas!❤
Thanks Annie 😊 It was a great trip and I loved sharing it with you! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. And yes! He was invited of course, but couldn't come this time because of work. Next time! 🥰
Heeey welcome to my country! And cute that your cousin has the same name as my dad, and you are spot on, our sourdough is absolutely elite! Also those salmiak liquorice dates paired with the sweet peach ones are sooo delicious! We are pretty lucky with how forward we are with always having vegan options everywhere you go!
That is an excellent tip about the dates! Thanks for letting me know 😊😊 And that's so cool that your dad has the same name! I really enjoyed exploring Iceland, you live in a beautiful country!
This was super wholesome. I am so happy to see you so calm and relaxed and in your elements of family and coziness. So adorable. Are you part Icelandic or? 💕
A lovely Iceland vlog Nicole and it was worth waiting a day later for it. Yummy 😋 food and love 🥰 the vlog. Love 💕 Nicole and have a good Monday and week ahead.
I appreciate you for sharing this video so much and how you went into the history I have seen other videos about Iceland but this was amazing thank you ❤❤
Thanks Angela! I googed some places and used the Happy Cow app (so good when traveling) and found lots of options. Also most restaurants have some vegan options or a way to make a dish vegan, so that was nice. Also the grocery stores have vegan stuff too. It's not always easy, but for the most part it was a very vegan friendly place 😊😊
Great video - brings back so many great memories! Everyone should try to experience Iceland if they can don’t you think? Also did you buy the face masks to take home?! They are SO good!
Vegan tour of Iceland! Love seeing this, Nikki. Question... have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a custom high-protein meal plan from them and it's really working!
My sister just returned from a cruise to Iceland. The ship has to re-route due to very high waves so she didn't get to see as much as she was planning on.
Do you have any videos about vegan care items? Like skincare, hand soap, laundry soap, all those kinds of things? I just found out that there are animal derived ingredients in most of the main products and it gave me so much anxiety trying to find vegan products to use so I was wondering what all you use?
We really appreciate your Vegan content! The food looks amazing!🌱And we have our own Vegan Vlog channel where we feature lots of veg food! We'd love if you have time to check it out! Thanks! 🍓💕🌞
👋 Nikki, How are you? How was your weekend going? How are you feeling mentally and physically? Since you and your boyfriend are travel around Europe right now. Have you guys thought about making a pit 🛑 in 🇬🇧 or 🇫🇷? 🥐 🍵 ☕️ 👫
There's a show on PBS called Amazing Hotels and they just did an episode on a hotel in Iceland called the ION Adventure Hotel. It's built on the side of a dormant volcano. I think you'd find it pretty interesting, especially since you were just in the neighborhood (kinda!)
Ahh Iceland! Brings back memories when we went with our family and I was pregnant with my firstborn, was over 4 years ago! So many good memories and spots visited, it was much more icey and snowy when we went, it was November ! And the blue lagoon was an awesome memory we had a lovely sunset while being in the water 🥰 your vlog was so cozy and homey how cool you have family there you got to visit ! Makes me want to go back soon ! ❤
They had a few different styles of cuisine there but yellow dal was Indian 😊 The stew I had at Mama's was a West African Peanut stew and it was delicious. Similar to this recipe www.purplecarrot.com/plant-based-recipes/west-african-peanut-stew-with-swiss-chard-white-quinoa
I totally want to go to Iceland. It's nice to see that the food scene is better than I thought.
food there is actually really good!!
agreed!
I was impressed! It wasn't that easy sometimes, but for the most part there was at least a few vegan options everywhere we went! The vegan restaurants are great and the grocery stores have lots of vegan options. I loved pastries too! It was nice to see how popular plant-based eating is there
I went years ago and even the airport had food labeled vegan so I can imagine it’s even better now
@@reva510 I heard it was bad even for omnivores. A friend went about a decade back. Good to know its changed.
the dates with licorice powder on them is from a Swedish brand.
They also have other dates. like Salted Caramel Peanuts (taste like Snickers), Raspberry and Licorice, Sweet Peach, Sour Coke, Tropical Fruits. They are very popular here in Sweden :)
The blue lagoon is something I’ve always wanted to to! So cool!
Wow, Nicole! That was amazing! Thanks for letting us visit Iceland vicariously (just a little 😊)! Loved it. ❤
Thank you! I'm so happy you could come along with me 😊😊 Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great day ❤️
Iceland was my favorite trip yet, the Sky Lagoon is amazing if you get to return. I was amazed at all the delicious food. Norway is on my bucket list!
Thanks for letting me know! We talked about visiting Sky Lagoon too but there wasn't time this time. I'll remember it for next time. And I agree. I loved the food there! Especially the pastries 🥐

I also recommend Sky Lagoon 👍👍

Nikki, Iceland is on my bucket list before I turn 40. Thank you for taking us along with you and showing us the exquisite cuisine there.
Now that is FABULOUS !! Having a vegan tour of Iceland.
Thank you --- its beautiful

Incredible! I must go!
Family is always the best memories! Glad you had the opportunity! What a beautiful part of the world!
Agreed 100% 😊 Thanks Betty! It really was beautiful there

✨ most of your family living in Norway/ Iceland? What brought you to America? Perhaps some content for another video ? :)
Yes they do! I was born here but some of my family moved here before that so I have family here too 😊😊
The coffee, rainbows, vegan food! Stunning video! Definitely rewatching this one ❤
This made my day 😊😊 Thank you so much Maria! I'm happy you liked this video ❤️ Hope you have a great day!
Icelandic beauty products are based too! Well worth the money. Urð and Halló are some of my favorite brands. I think there's a vegan line too.
That's good to know! Thank you 😊❤️ I bet they're amazing!

I want to go to Iceland sooooo badly! I think it’s expensive though if you have to pay for housing and traveling etc
Yes it's definitely pricey there! I'm so grateful to have been able to stay with family. That made a big difference
All so beautiful :)
Iceland seems like a beautiful place to visit, tfs.

I just found out that there are animal derived ingredients in most of the main products and it gave me so much anxiety trying to find vegan products to use so I was wondering what all you use?
I don't have one video dedicated to that but that's a great idea! I'll make that for you asap ❤️
@@NikkiVegan thank you very much for getting back to me, I’m looking forward to the video! Your videos are always so good!
This was such a fun vlog! I've never seen the spelling "Icelandtic" (with the T) before -- where does that come from?
❤
My hair did NOT do well when I was there. I put conditioner on but ended up looking like a troll doll for a few days.😂
oh no! lol Yeah, that's a good point. It probably depends on hair type! Didn't think of that
i am vegan
Yay! Me to 😊❤️
