its so life changing that youve become so minimalistic. most youtubers wouldnt stay in a hostile-its refreshing!! sounds like your trip was unforgettable!! much love
After months of obsessing over this video, I finally booked my flight for my first solo trip to Iceland! Thanks for inspiring me, Allison! This will definitely be a bit out of my comfort zone, but I can’t wait!
I just did my first solo trip and I LOVE that you’re capturing yours. It’s empowering to see one of you tubers love embracing solo travel. Thanks for sharing! Defiantly adding this to my list.
scott a So, Scott A and ccap321, I challenge you to do it...eat alone in a restaurant. It really isn't as nerve-racking as you think. When I travel for work, I do it a lot. Here are a couple of tips. Eat at the restaurant bar. Oftentimes, I strike up a conversation with another solo eater or the bartenders. Or, bring your phone. It is a good time to clear out emails. Don't be afraid, you can do it!!!
Hi Allison. i have been a fan of yours for so long. at fifty i became disabled with a chronic illness. it was your calm informative videos that has helped. you remind me so much of my daughter, she is around your age. when i saw iceland in video, it was like i was there. being a single mom of two did not leave much travel time. and that was fine, because my son and daughter are everything to me. i have never written. i am now 61 and had to tell u how much i enjoy your videos. You are an amazing young woman. kudos for you to travel and adventure. just always be safe. Love, Edie
This was so amazing! It is so cool you went on this adventure all by yourself 😊❤️ good for you! I think travelling by yourself is good for the soul! So many amazing experiences
This gives me all the feels!! I’ve traveled all over the US solo but been too scared to go overseas solo. This inspires me to go back solo, thank you fo the inspirations. Can’t wait to see your next adventure.
I love that you are travelling alone! This is one of my things on my bucket list is to travel alone and stop waiting for people to plan trips I want to take! This gives me motivation to do just that ☺️ I really hope you have a great trip!!
Exactly my thinking as well! Everyone has their own schedules and commitments and I realized if I waited for someone to be ready for every trip I want to take in my lifetime, they just weren't going to happen!
Allison Anderson love that! glad someone has the same way of thinking about this as I do! you make it look so easy to travel alone, which I know it’s not so props to you!!
Wow! A lot of my style (hair color, wear neutrals) was pulled from you wayyyyy back in the day and i just found your channel again. I want to go to Iceland SO BAD and I’m emotional over this?! Ugh how amazing. Starting to binge all the years of videos I’ve missed!
I am really excited about this trip!! I should do more solo trips. As long as you are careful, everything will be fine. ADDED BONUS: you get to do what YOU want to do. There's no compromise on what you do, where you stay, what you eat, and where you go. Kudos to you, Allison!
Allision your an amazing photographer and film maker, the shots and filing you did is amazing! It looks like a once in a lifetime trip. That’s so cool that’s your new resolution. The quality and how you put your videos together is incredible. You are very talented. You looked so gorgeous and your hair and skin is so pretty.
Oh my goodness! I have no words to express the beauty you experienced in Iceland. W💛W! Good for you Allison! Glad you shared with all of us for inspiration.
I used to watch your videos when I was in middle school (the amarixe days). I am now 25, single and ready to travel the world and have so much nostalgia. You are just as beautiful and radiant as ever. I'd love to be able to travel with you sometime LOL! Best of luck.
love it!! my husband and I did this for our honeymoon - rented an old volkswagon camper van and drove around the entire island and camped along the way. I've done a fair bit of traveling and Iceland is my favourite country so far.. so much so that I'm already planning another month long trip once my kids are old enough to do hikes with us :)
I went to Iceland three years ago and get super nostalgic whenever I see video/pictures about it! Solo traveling is a great resolution, I would like to try to go on a solo city trip this year just to see how I like it :)
This is honestly so inspiring. I just want to be as independent as you, doing meaningful things and learning/exploring the world and myself... It's not something a lot of people do. I also resolve to go on solo trips when I can. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful part of the world with us!💓 you are so brave for traveling so far on your own, you are so inspiring!🤗
I found your channel through the Charleston video! I recently went to Iceland with my husband and it WAS THE MOST incredible trip ever. We decided to regularly vlog our trips after going to Charleston about a year ago and it was the best decision ever. It is so fun to look back on our memories.
Ditto, I am starting my own Solo Travel as well (Just came back From Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) - Iceland Aug 2018 - also :-) St. Thomas in in Sept. Good trip Have fun!
This makes me want to go, it’s so beautiful! Please could you make a video about your experience of travelling alone and any tips? Especially as a female.
Please do a video explaining the details of traveling alone! I know for so many people, including myself, traveling alone is scary and intimidating so a tips video would be so cool!
This is so inspiring honestly. I use to always think I needed someone like a companion to travel with. But I definitely don’t and this is so amazing! I want to experience life to its fullest and visit places and seeing you do it on your own makes me realize I can too! 😩
You inspire me to start my solo trip this year. I always wanted to do it but I keep on procrastinating. Iceland is so beautiful and those horses or ponies are adorable!
Well done for road-tripping solo. I live here and haven't even done that yet...but maybe now I will!! The glaciers are incredibly beautiful, I love hiking on them - glad you got to do it.
I''m so much into travel photos and vlog since I cannot travel myself. When I watch other youtubers, I'm never satisfied. But this one is so much different.
Wow ! Love it, Iceland has always been on my list to go, but you did a road trip!!! Another level. Thank you for doing a travel check, sometimes traveling solo has concerns if the place you are going is safe.
what a breathtaking video! I am one of the girls who answered when you asked for solo travelling tips on twitter a couple of months ago and I am sooo happy for you that you made this trip,allison!did you enjoy it?
Hey Allison I'm a long time follower from Iceland! I'm so glad you liked our country and I'm so happy you went out of the city to explore the beauty of the south coast. You truly were really lucky to get clear skies since from October-April we usually only get like 10 days of sun! Loved this video :D
So many feels watching this! The sense of adventure and independence, the stunning scenery and clips, and absolutely precious horses. Looks like such an epic trip. Great video!
Great video! I solo-tripped to Iceland for two weeks in 2015, which included a 9-day road trip. Was June, so I didn't see a dark sky the whole time. One of the best trips of my life.
I think solo travelling once in a while is such a good idea. You learn so much about yourself, not being able to rely on a friend, figuring out everything on your own. If someone says "I could never travel alone!" They should think about doing it nontheless and look at it as an "exercise" :-)
It's really amazing how you travel on your own. I'm still not brave enough to travel on my own especially to other continent. Bravo for your boldness.😆👍
I'm pretty sure that this is my favorite videos you've ever put up. Such beautiful and fascinating landscapes!! Watched it 3 times already 😅 I'm obsessed!!
I would love to see how you packed for your trip, if you are willing to share. We like to travel to cold places too, but cold weather gear is so bulky. Tips? :)
I went to Iceland last year and it was one of the best trips I ever had. Such a stunning country! Thanks for sharing this video, watching it brought back so many memories!
I rarely comment but WOW, you go girl for going to a different country alone!! I've gone on weekend trips by myself but have never considered going to a different country alone. You are so inspiring!!! Would you consider doing a video on how you plan trips, especially internationally?? Thanks for sharing your journey, it looked amazing!!!
Please make a video on solo travel as a woman, it's something I've always wanted to do but I've been way too scared! It's amazing that you did this, I loved this video! :)
Wow, if your not the perfect role model for young ladies today, nobody is. It takes so much strength and courage to go traveling like that alone, I definitely admire you!!!!!
Ive watched your solo trips now and I must say it is so inspiring to actually see a woman to travel by herself. My dream is to travel around the world but I always wanted someone to go with me but didnt realize how it limits me. Therefor it’s awesome to see you do this and it really inspires me to do the same! Could you do a video on how to travel alone being a woman?
its so life changing that youve become so minimalistic. most youtubers wouldnt stay in a hostile-its refreshing!! sounds like your trip was unforgettable!! much love

Wow I can’t believe you went all the way to Iceland by yourself! I won’t even go out to eat by myself. 😂
same here
scott a glad I'm not the only one! I always get my food to go. The idea of eating alone makes me super uncomfortable!
I don't think I've ever eaten in a restaurant alone
scott a So, Scott A and ccap321, I challenge you to do it...eat alone in a restaurant. It really isn't as nerve-racking as you think. When I travel for work, I do it a lot. Here are a couple of tips.

Don't be afraid, you can do it!!!
I had never gone out to eat by myself before Iceland either. After you do it once it's no big deal and now doesn't feel weird to me at all!
Hi Allison. i have been a fan of yours for so long. at fifty i became disabled with a chronic illness. it was your calm informative videos that has helped. you remind me so much of my daughter, she is around your age. when i saw iceland in video, it was like i was there. being a single mom of two did not leave much travel time. and that was fine, because my son and daughter are everything to me. i have never written. i am now 61 and had to tell u how much i enjoy your videos.

Idk why but this makes me so emotional. So happy you got to do this and I hope that someday I'll get to see it too!
- I hope that one day I will be able to visit the capital Reykjavik. It really intrigues me a lot. I'm passionate about it.
Wow! A lot of my style (hair color, wear neutrals) was pulled from you wayyyyy back in the day and i just found your channel again. I want to go to Iceland SO BAD and I’m emotional over this?! Ugh how amazing. Starting to binge all the years of videos I’ve missed!
Loved this! Can you film a video on what you packed?? I'm mind blown that you packed for such cold weather with so little!
I've been watching you for years and it's so surreal to see you visit my country. I hope you enjoyed!
I went in February and the winter weather really wrecked our plans on driving further but this is making me want to go back ASAP! All the blues!
This is so beautiful country.Thank you for taking us there like a dream 💭
what an awesome adventure! that ice hiking looked amazing
Thanks Carah! :)

Jessica Smart Your honeymoon just described my dream trip! How amazing!
I went there a long time ago and I hope I’ll get to go back one day. It’s one of my favorite places in the world.
I went to Iceland last September also by myself, beautiful country!
You are so brave! Right now I can only dream about solo travel. One day...
Iceland is one of the MOST beautiful country. We visited in Summer 2019 and it’s so tranquil
I went to Iceland three years ago and get super nostalgic whenever I see video/pictures about it! Solo traveling is a great resolution, I would like to try to go on a solo city trip this year just to see how I like it :)

This makes me want to go, it’s so beautiful! Please could you make a video about your experience of travelling alone and any tips? Especially as a female.
Sapphire D I hear a lot of women buy fake wedding ring set from like Walmart or somewhere really cheap and it helps
Please do a video explaining the details of traveling alone! I know for so many people, including myself, traveling alone is scary and intimidating so a tips video would be so cool!

Wow Iceland is so beautiful and stunning. I wanna go there and see the cute and adorable ponies and the waterfall.
Well done for road-tripping solo. I live here and haven't even done that yet...but maybe now I will!! The glaciers are incredibly beautiful, I love hiking on them - glad you got to do it.
I''m so much into travel photos and vlog since I cannot travel myself. When I watch other youtubers, I'm never satisfied. But this one is so much different.
Please do a video on what you packed for this trip! I’m so impressed with how little you took with you!!
Love the solo traveling series! You look great and your videos are fantastic!
OMG you are so my hero!! I love that idea of solo travel.
Wow ! Love it, Iceland has always been on my list to go, but you did a road trip!!! Another level. Thank you for doing a travel check, sometimes traveling solo has concerns if the place you are going is safe.
Cant wait to go to Iceland with dada and my family.im excited to see the horses ,ice and mountains
I love your videos!!!!!!
what a breathtaking video!
I am one of the girls who answered when you asked for solo travelling tips on twitter a couple of months ago and I am sooo happy for you that you made this trip,allison!did you enjoy it?
Yes! I can't believe I waited this long to start solo traveling. I loved it!
Go for it girl! So jealous....Amazing sights.
I went to Iceland around two years ago. It's so beautiful! I'll never forget it😄
looked like an amazing trip! Iceland has been on my list and this is just more inspiration to go! Thanks for taking us along
Hey Allison I'm a long time follower from Iceland! I'm so glad you liked our country and I'm so happy you went out of the city to explore the beauty of the south coast. You truly were really lucky to get clear skies since from October-April we usually only get like 10 days of sun! Loved this video :D
Don't the days start getting longer before April
So many feels watching this! The sense of adventure and independence, the stunning scenery and clips, and absolutely precious horses. Looks like such an epic trip. Great video!
What a wonderful video, Allison! And I, also, so admire your courage and sense of adventure!
Wow! 19 secs in and already liked the video, those shots are STUNNING!!! 👏👏👏👏
Iceland looks incredibly beautiful!
Great video! I solo-tripped to Iceland for two weeks in 2015, which included a 9-day road trip. Was June, so I didn't see a dark sky the whole time. One of the best trips of my life.
OMG ur footage ......i am awestruck
Been there and love it,Iceland is the prettiest country I've visited.
I think solo travelling once in a while is such a good idea. You learn so much about yourself, not being able to rely on a friend, figuring out everything on your own. If someone says "I could never travel alone!" They should think about doing it nontheless and look at it as an "exercise" :-)
I was just there! The ice caves are the most beautiful creation of nature. It’s sad it doesn’t show up as incredible on camera.
Wow, Allison, Iceland looks so beautiful! You're so brave for doing this alone!!
What an amazing video and experience. Absolutely breath-taking. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Loved this Allison! You made a great powerful independent resolution! Looking forward to more of your solo trips!
Iceland is officially on my bucket list! What a great trip you had, and so awesome you did it solo! Thanks for sharing it with us!
It's really amazing how you travel on your own. I'm still not brave enough to travel on my own especially to other continent. Bravo for your boldness.😆👍
This is awesome! I really enjoy watching the solo trips you’ve been doing. And wow Iceland is beautiful.
I'm pretty sure that this is my favorite videos you've ever put up. Such beautiful and fascinating landscapes!! Watched it 3 times already 😅 I'm obsessed!!
Beautiful scenery ugh it must have been so peaceful!
The weather was amazing for you!when i went in spring it was snowing and raining constantly
Oh my goodness! That looked like so much fun! So cool you took that journey alone.
You're my idol Allison !! You give me the courage to go on solo trip !
I would love to see how you packed for your trip, if you are willing to share. We like to travel to cold places too, but cold weather gear is so bulky. Tips? :)
Ohh I'm also traveling solo here for the first time in Patagonia. Your video is well-put together and inspiring as always!
Solo trips are Goals 🙌🏼 would love to see more of these!
The blue lagoon is a woooow place... I love it..
Awesome women doing awesome things. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
I’m happy that you were finally able to do your solo trip! Iceland is gorgeous😍 I want to visit someday❤️
This is so cool!!! I love that you're just taking life for what it is and going to explore! xo
Iceland is on my list of places to visit so thank you for this. I’m always traveling alone for work so I want to travel with friends on vacation.
Amazing scenery. You are a true adventurer !
That rainbow!
Wow, this was totally amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I went to Iceland last year and it was one of the best trips I ever had. Such a stunning country! Thanks for sharing this video, watching it brought back so many memories!
Holy cow, I can’t believe you were staying alone in a cottage in the Icelandic countryside!! How were you not super freaked out?! 😱
M Missa Iceland is basically one of the safest countries in the world. There's honestly nothing to be freaked out by 😊
Freaked out about what lol?
Iceland has the lowest crime rate in the world! I felt safer walking around there at night than I do at home in Seattle!
Piscoandmartinis some people are scared to stay in places by themselves
What a beautiful place! And very brave to travel solo, especially on the long drive in what looks like a very remote place.
I rarely comment but WOW, you go girl for going to a different country alone!! I've gone on weekend trips by myself but have never considered going to a different country alone. You are so inspiring!!! Would you consider doing a video on how you plan trips, especially internationally?? Thanks for sharing your journey, it looked amazing!!!
Fantastic sceneries! Im blown away!
Please make a video on solo travel as a woman, it's something I've always wanted to do but I've been way too scared! It's amazing that you did this, I loved this video! :)
Oh wow! Thanks for taking the time to share your trip with us! I’d love to know how you packed and what you packed for carryon only? ☺️
This was such a lovely video! So beautifully filmed and edited. Can’t wait to see more travel vids from you!! 💕
Wow you mustn’t mind driving on the icy roads 😊
love it! you're awesome came here last November and had a blast was able to see the northern lights!
You gotta share how you packed so lightly! And for such cold!
Ahhh! This is one of my bucket list destinations. It’s so rad that you went solo! 🤙
Wow, if your not the perfect role model for young ladies today, nobody is. It takes so much strength and courage to go traveling like that alone, I definitely admire you!!!!!
This seemed like it was an amazing trip! So beautifully captured as well. I loved this type of video
Definitely adding Iceland to my bucket list! 💕✨
Ive watched your solo trips now and I must say it is so inspiring to actually see a woman to travel by herself. My dream is to travel around the world but I always wanted someone to go with me but didnt realize how it limits me. Therefor it’s awesome to see you do this and it really inspires me to do the same! Could you do a video on how to travel alone being a woman?
What an amazing trip! So strong of you to go on such an adventure on your own!
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I leave for Iceland in two weeks. Thank you! I hope you had an amazing trip. 🤗❤️
Beautifully filmed and edited. Hoping to go to Iceland in the next few years.
