- Here is one of the most common ways that Icelanders spend the weekend, especially when the weather is nice.
To enjoy this adventure to the fullest, I suggest taking your time while here. Renting a car in Iceland allows you to go at your own pace. I highly recommend Go Car Rental Iceland. They have great rates, a large variety of cars, and amazing customer service.

Have they made you honorary ambassador to Iceland yet? Every time I watch your videos, you make Iceland seem like one of the most chill places on Earth.
Lol no yet but I’m glad my videos give off that vibe 🤗
What do you do for a living in iceland?
The Iceland Tourism Board should make you their official spokesperson because every video I see from you makes me want to visit!!! Thank you so much for all you do to share this beautiful country with us! (I'm in Washington, DC, USA).
Aww, thank you! I hope you do visit in the near future. 🤗❤️
Hi Jewell's, you never disappoint, I absolutely love your videos. I'm in Chicago and Iceland seems like worlds away. You make me feel like Im there with you. Chilling and hanging out. Love you ❤
Hi!! Thank you. So glad to hear that you felt like you were right there with me. Lots of love to you too. 🤗
That getaway seems so relaxing and peaceful and that view by the cabin is simply stunning! And very interesting with the sights nearby one can check out as well! :)
Glad you enjoyed this. 😊
Been to Iceland once. Hoping to go back there soon. Hubby is already making the list for 2024, but if I can get at least 3 months ahead on work, I'd like to add Iceland to the mix. Being able to just go to another country on the weekend is just another bonus reason we moved to Poland.
Awesome!! I hope you do get to some back soon. 😊
Yeah, Poland being so close to so many different countries is definitely one of the attractions. I qualify for a Karta Polaka so I'm wondering how doable a semi-retirement there might be.
@@ak5659 My husband is retired. He's actually from Poland. I have my own business, but I'm trying to slow down a bit to so we can travel over Europe. We do travel to the US for his annual doctor appointments. It's actually less expensive to do so.
Another egg substitute is ground flax seeds. Bananas are good but you might not always want the sweetness. The flax seeds are so good for savory dishes!
Thanks for the suggestion. 😊
I Love, love, LOVE Iceland. Ég elska að vera á Íslandi!! I’ve been three times,… 2014, 2017, and this year. I always want to stay longer, and I can’t wait to go back!
I would love to drive Hringvegurinn in the summer sometime. Thank you for your amazing videos and information!!! Very well done!! 🙌👍🏻👏🏻❤️
Yay for loving Iceland!! I hope you do go around the whole circle.
It’s my pleasure to share. 🤗
We’re here! Can’t wait to pop into a pool or hot spring 🙂
@@AllThingsIceland Thank you!! Þakka þér kærlega fyrir!! 🤗☺️
I fell in love with Iceland this summer. You are correct to rent a car because transportation is very expensive. Lovely video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video and yay for falling in love with Iceland!
Oh, I thought it was going to be a public use cabin that was off grid. This is glamping and nice. Thanks for taking us on this trip.
The aurora was beautiful over here in Alaska in early October even in the city limits. I saw them from my couch.
It'd be awesome to meet up if you make your way to Alaska.
Oh my gosh the view from that gorgeous kitchen!!! I'd spend the weekend cooking hahahah. So glad to see you continuing your life in a happy and healthy way. Thank you for sharing i will be out there in 2024.
I want to be in a hot spring looking at the Northern Lights.
Totally possible 😊
get ready because they say you might get the lights every night for 5 days now! @@AllThingsIceland
Thanks Jewells, your happiness and peace is a joy to watch in this video. Keep up the excellent work.🙏🏾💕
Thank you so much! 🤗❤️
Good to see you smiling.
I don’t know how you can live in such a cold place and Im Eastern European lol.
But nice to see you happy.❤
Enjoy your videos!
I have been inspired by your channel for a while and I'm now planning my first trip to Iceland with a group in 2024. I'm so excited that I may be able to possibly see a handful of the beautiful places you have shared. Thank you.
🥳🥳🥳🥳 Amazing and so glad to hear that.
Iceland is a gem...but those eyes, that smile and that...* sigh *....nose
What a lovely trip! I fell in love with Iceland during a summer trip and definitely want to come back in the fall, and winter! The autumn colors look beautiful.
Yay for coming back to Iceland!
What a beautiful video!!!! Paradise and a wonderful getaway! (FYI, you look so happy btw)😊
Thank you! Yes, I’m very happy. 😊
Replace eggs with applesauce, I do it all the time.
You are so knowledgeable!
Could you post some of the recipes (especially the brownies)? It looked like you had a great weekend.
Sure. I used the Ghirardelli chocolate chip brownie box mix. I subbed a smashed banana for the egg and use oat milk instead of water. I only cooked it for 40 minutes so it would turn out fudgy and that totally worked.
The pancake recipe is 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of vegan milk, 2 tbsp of sugar, 4 tbsp of oil, 3-4 tsp of baking powder, pinch of salt and 1 tsp of vanilla extract (optional).
Thanks.
Hey jewels, this is ariel I haven't been watching you for a while BEEN very busy moving from Missouri to Rochester ny YOU are looking beautiful and super peaceful and I love your videos 😊 keep showing more of iceland IT'S AMAZING..peace out
Hi Ariel! I hope your move went smoothly and that you are well. Thank you so much! 🤗❤️
Oh that was lovely.
I'm in the middle of London on a dull, dull, dull Saturday and everywhere I look is grey building with grey weather and no horizons.
This was like looking out a window and being able to breathe. I really appreciate it.
Could you post the recipe for the vegan brownies, please? They look like gooey heaven and - frankly - I need some filthy chocolate sin in my life right now.
(Also, thank you for keeping up with your tips and advice about driving and cars. I know it's part of your sponsorship, but when I finally get to realise a dream and get to Iceland, all the advice you give is really important because I might not be able to get there in the most tourist-friendly times. You don't get the kind of advice you're giving anywhere else - irrespective of it being sponsored. It's just *good* advice.)
Anyway, many thanks. 🙂
Thanks for sharing and the lovely comment.
The brownie recipe was from a box. I used the Ghirardelli chocolate chip brownie mix with a smashed banana to substitute an egg
Thank you so much!
Loving the production on this vid! Especially love the arial views from drone (?) footage!
Thank you! Yes, a drone. 😊
I would love to do that for the weekend ❤. Hope you all had great fun !
I hope you do. It’s a great weekend spot! Thanks you! Yes, lots of fun and relaxation. 😊❤️
Please do more videos like this. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you vlog about your weekend. It was very relaxing to watch.
Thanks for the feedback and I’ll definitely do more videos like this. 😊
Enjoying your videos! Now planning my second trip. Great tips, and I’m living not far from RPI. Think you mentioned you went to school there. Rock on Engineers!
wow awesome, absolutely beautiful.
Super nostalgic episode for me! Spent my most formative childhood years in Reykholt and love the beautiful autumn days in Borgarfjörður/Iceland. Currently living in the Canary Islands, haven’t missed home much but seeing this made me homesick for real for the first time since moving here. Great job as always. Takk :)
❤
🤗❤️
Love watching
🥳🥳🥳🤗❤️
Norway next? 🙂
Perhaps 🤔 I have been there twice but only for short visits.
You obviously still enjoy living here and are getting on with your life. Thumbs up!
Errin þín eru mjög Íslensk, þú ert að verða ein af okkur - eða kannski löngu orðin?
Beautiful excursion!! Thank you for sharing!🙏🏽🤍
Thank you! 🤗
This is beautiful..wonder if i can book it in Jan or Feb...so cute...
Great video, Jewells! I visited that area as well and it is super beautiful!
Thank you!! So glad to hear that you enjoy this area too!! 🤗
What a lovely cabin! What a nice getaway!
Iceland is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing
So NICE!!! How did you get the beautiful aerial shots? Was it a drone?🎉 😁❤
Thank you! Yes, it’s a drone. 🤗
Your videos are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! 🤗❤️
So so pretty! I’m already planning my next trip :)!
🥳🥳🥳
Enjoying along with you, nice weekend nice fall weekend,before the deep snows come this winter.
So glad you enjoyed coming along 😊
Your Icelandic is getting better Jewells. This is a good time of year to visit if (and when) I decide to visit. It is not cold, yet still warm enough that I do not freeze. The views are spectacular!!!
Question: Have you thought of getting a dog?
Thank you!! I’ve thought of getting a cat because I live in an apartment but if I ever buy a stand alone home, I would love to have a dog too. 😍
That view!!
Right?! 😍
Great video 😍
Thank you 🤗❤️
Sounds like a great place for a perspnal retreat
Yes!! It was a necessary getaway.
@All Things Iceland, the best egg substitute is applesauce.
Thank you!
Looks great, we stayed close by at the Icelandic Lake house. Beautiful area. Made two trips to Iceland this year, have two more planned for 2024.
Yay!! So awesome that you stayed nearby, and so glad you are coming back next year. 🥳
@@AllThingsIceland We stayed in Hveragerdi for a week and LOVED it! We’ve done Snaefelsness and the South including Heimaey. Our next trip in July will be to the east. I need to see Hengifoss!
I visited Iceland once 20+ years ago and always wanted to go back. I plan to retire from my municipal job in a few years and wonder how feasible it'd be to continue my online interpreting job while travelling to different countries.
I hope you do come back 😊
Is this the current weather? We're headed in next week! Trying to find some low key hot springs in the west. We were going to do Blue Lagoon until we heard it may start boiling at any moment!
Yes, this is the current weather. Hvammsvík is a nice hot spring. A really low key one is called Guðrúnarlaug.
Definitely a good idea to not go to the Blue Lagoon right now.
May I ask if RUclips is your full time job or if you’re employed there? We’re seriously thinking of moving but unsure if many people make it without being self employed! Love the videos.
I am a full-time content creator. RUclips is one of the platforms I use but I’m on many others, like TikTok, FB, Instagram, and my podcast called All Things Iceland. Thanks!
will the roads look like this in late November, headed there but scared to drive as a socal native
The roads will likely be icier but there are studded tires on the car, which helps with traction. If you do decide to drive then just take your time. 😊
I'm in Italy, and like to visit Iceland
I hope you do 🤗
Yaay I found you I immediately subscribed so that I don’t lose you again I used to watch all the time and then I bought a new iPad new username and RUclips never recommended you again even though I watch that Svalbard chic her name is Cecelia i want to support my people love your content I will visit Iceland next summer so I want to learn all I can before then
Aww, thank you so much and welcome back! 🤗
@@AllThingsIceland I was so happy like I know you personally lol you know how we are when we find people who look like us ha ha
So beautiful out there. Do you get any fomo being out there? I mean yes the country of Iceland is absolutely beyond beautiful and peaceful but it’s not NYC lol
Lol it’s true that it is not NYC but I feel content being here. There are many things I appreciate about living in NYC but I don’t miss living there.
Hola linda muy buenos dias hermoso el video dime linda como esta actualmente la seguridad en islandia porque pienso viajar a islandia saludos desde chiclayo Perú
Hola! It’s very safe here 🤗
Did you hire a camera person now? Since I remember you separated last year or earlier this year I can’t remember
Not a camera person but a friend came with me to the cabin. Yes, my ex and I are divorced.
is it safe to travel to Iceland in 2 weeks, just heard about the Earthquakes.
Honestly, it’s hard to know what will happen. As of right now, it’s fine and I hope all will be ok in two weeks too. 🤞🏾
@@AllThingsIceland Thank you for the response, I love your videos.
Do they let you bring your dogs?
Some cabins probably allow it but I’m not sure about this one.

Pretty woman
Thanks 😊
