I lost my wallet in Reykjavik. It fell out on the street while I was walking. I backtracked when I realized it was missing and found it still lying there. When I told a guy about it that night, he said, "Why were you worried? No one would've taken it." Definitely NOT in America anymore.

As a Canadian, the not apologizing thing is like woooaaaa

[gabrielvillar]

I went to Iceland for a week and I thought "What if I happen to see this guy on the street?", but then I thought "C'mon, that's not gonna happen". On the last day, on my way to the airport, I saw him walking on the street 🤣

I love the approach: "hookup? yeah. but we're hungry, we can grab sth to eat".

As a 6'4 icelandic man myself...I can vouche that not every man goes for one night stands. It's normally a two night stand. 2 nights of sex before getting to know you. That way, we'd know the 1st night wasn't a fluke. Cause on the 3rd night...it's usually when we propose...to try in getting to know you. And a couple of one night stands more, we just get down on our knees and propose marriage. We really don't like wasting time.

So Þetta reddast is the Icelandic Hakuna Matata, right?

Iceland population is 340k and the views on the video is 350k
WTF😂😂🤔

[abhijith]

the word "please" doesn't exist - sounds like vikings

[awesomeirlable]

Today I learned that I, a Nigerian American woman, am actually an Icelandic man in disguise

(Except the subzero weather....no)

[AleksiHimself]

Interesting to watch a fellow Nordic. When you need help with the Finnish version, shoot me a message!

[JakurinNyan]

I had this EXACT experience in Iceland. Its spooky how true it is.

[alexis]

Although I’m not a fan of the “1-night-stand then get to know each other” cultural norm, it’s still a beautiful country with friendly people! 🇮🇸❤️

[johngonzalez]

What a beautiful view of the mountain! Iceland seems like a nice and chilled environment. Awesome video Marina! Nice cameo appearance at 2:43 😃

[kristinmagn]

The word “please” does exist in Icelandic, it’s “vinsamlegast”, most commonly paired with other polite words such as “gætiru” or “could you”. So basically please = could you please in Icelandic.

[julie-margrethegerdestholm]

My man is Icelandic. Everything in this video is SO TRUE!
I’m danish. We are socially inhibited and nervous all the time. We have an interesting relationship 😂

[unnur-]

I’m from Iceland and I can confirm that everything in this video is very very true

[spookyloop]

Love seeing a girl who looks like me in one of these videos!

[daianabensignor]

Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Norwegian man please! ❤

[rachaben]

I believe that's what every women needs in her life a man that tells her every thing is going to be okay no matter what 😊😊

[markbigelow]

Cute girl☺! I also liked the "It will all work out" attitude. It really does.
