What a privilege to celebrate your birthday in a place with such beauty. Some guys have all the luck 😀
As always breathtaking views…. nice work….Happy birthday to your partner……thanks beautiful lea…..
🧿👏👏👏👏👍🏍🇹🇷
How could he resist the puffins?
Hallo Lea,
Great views as ever.
I love those mythology stories; I’m a big SciFi and fantasy fan myself.
Lucky you. You were able to see the puffins; I only saw rain and mist in Norway. Did you know they only have those colorful beaks during the breeding season. I’m not a fan of animal tourism but I still have fond memories of the ‘wild’ marmots and really wild ibexes at Spielboden near Saas Fee.
Very nice waterfalls indeed. I always try to see as many as possible (as I do with castles 😊).
I prefer a bit clouds in the sky. Less harsh shadows and more variation in light.
Awesome, wonderful and great ❤❤❤. Enjoy 🎉🎉🎉
Another masterpiece Lea, thanks
Hi.
just want to say that you are the best of all mc youtubers to make absolutely beautiful and interesting videos. You are incredibly good at telling about your travels. The filming and the perfect editing are completely professional. The work you put into this is impressive. Thank you very much 🇳🇴👍
Hello Lea, every episode is fascinating to watch 😉👍👍 but this one is really gloriously beautiful👌🏆. Every fjord seems to be painted and you had a nice weather. I wish you a nice season and lots of health and happiness🍀 Happy Birthday to your Partner 🍀. Greeting. Ljubo 🖐
Beautiful, Lea! The waterfalls were excellent! You're very lucky to get to travel this road.
Spectacular scenery, Spectacular narration, Spectacular trip, Spectacular Iceland. All in all just Spectacular. 😂😂🏍🏍👍👍
Love the video! Amazing scenery! Thank you for sharing it!!
Hello little town 😊..a nice intro.
Beautiful drone footage and exceptional countryside and nature..
Your travel partner as mentioned before..not a fan of sight seeing… missing out on the puffins….to sit in a cafe..
Stay safe and warm
Cool
Stunning episode, Lea. Belated Birthday wishes to Mr. TP. I think if you had waited long enough, the Puffins would have come to see Mr. TP. 😊. I'm so glad you had some good weather . We have a large colony of Puffins on the east coast of Newfoundland . Happy travels. Mark 🇨🇦
👋😘
Great video thank you very well done as always thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
The Fjords are beautiful. I don’t think I would get too far, I would be constantly stopping to take photos……🤪
Beautiful scenery
We come for the riding POV and you're talking the whole time with your accented English. Not particularly watchable. I want to watch your channel, but in the background all I hear is you.
Great professional vlog , way better than itchy boots. Looking forward to the next. Thank you .
Looks like a great place for hiking! This place is magnificent! Watching this just makes me feel good my friend! Epic cinematography!
Hi Lea,
What an absolutely stunning video. That scenery was so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
Safe travels, and greetings to little A, and a belated Happy Birthday to your partner.
See you next Thursday. ❤
Hi Lea. Great footage. Spectacular scenery. What time of year did this take place? You've been lucky with the weather. Stay safe.
Thank you Got2Go ❤❤❤😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💘
Wonderful to return to Bakkagerði through your eyes! Would happily spend a full week there next time. I agree with your travel partner re having little interest in puffins. 😂 I was there strictly on álf business! Can highly recommend to visitors the wonderful hospitality of Álfacafé, where I enjoyed the very best lamb soup in the country.
Am big fun god with you
Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🥳 Lesen Sie herzliche Grüße 🎈 aus Valencia 😸🌹☕
Thanx for showing us such beautifull landscapes.
This has been one of my favorite journeys so far! Iceland 🇮🇸 is such a beautiful country. Now I feel like I have to go there. Thank you Lea for taking us there. ❤😊
I like your map showing where you are!!!
Really enjoying the trip. Beautiful video. Looking forward to our trip in March to Iceland. Our tour will be mainly on the southern part of the island.
Another superb episode Lea ! 🇬🇧
The Icelandic waffle looked tasty! Fresh cream I'm sure. Was it good?😀
freedom mind❤
It's a great route. Greetings from Turkey, from the Capital Enduro channel.
that blue Hilux looks so hot
❤
Awesome. Many thanks
Lugares espetacular, realmente de tirar o folego! Obrigado por compartilhar. Abraço
Moin Lea,
Wir sitzen in einem Boot.
Mein Travel Partner hat für Sehenswürdigkeiten auch nicht viel über. Also irgendwo hin laufen oder extra hin fahren muss nicht sein.
Kannst nix machen 💁♀️
Danke für deine fantastischen Aufnahmen. Tolle Videos 👍
Beste Grüße ✌️
Just stunningly beautiful.
You have an amazing talent, your episodes are just magnificent.
Maybe this is cultural but for me it always sound strange 'my traveling partner'… have you and your 'traveling partner' ever considered choosing a nickname to use in these videos? 😊 Great vídeos btw!!!
Fabulous episode. Very professional production. Thank you.
Another excellent episode !
Just found your channel! Really love your sense of adventure and your storytelling. Iceland is beautiful! I can’t wait to get back there.
Living vicariously through you, thank you.
Magical pictures, maybe not so magical English pronounciation
