Iceland is just crazy gorgeous. It's like the land you imagine in every fantasy novel or fairy tale. So glad you guys got to visit. Like no other place on Earth. Y'all should hit the Shetlands next. The remoteness is just... well... it's just. No words. Thanks to you and a reluctant Kurt for making the world smaller. Keep it up!

I don’t know what I loved more—the cats or the gorgeous scenery 🥹

[DaisyWarrior]

[Sthemingway]

I love that your Reykjavik accomodations came with an adorable cat. Geysir gave me The Shire vibes. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I love seeing you having a good time on your travels.

[pendragon]

Damn, I am so jealous. I would LOVE to visit Iceland! Thanks for letting us "tag long" virtually, Cari! Glad you had fun!

[yerwrstnitemare]

I cannot quite explain the sensation but your blogs bring me so much peace. I’ve been having a stressful week and hadn’t had time to watch one in a while but sat down for this & feel like a wave of calm has washed over me. Thank you <3

[Gillygillgilly]

Cari Cake's Queer Girls Trip sounds like a super cozy travel+self discovery book not gonna lie.
Also I'm dying to visit iceland now, thank you for bringing us along, Cari!

[bkieman]

I’m just now watching this vlog, I’m in actual tears. The beauty is unfathomable, I had no idea I could experience something so visceral through a youtube video. Thank you for filming this magical experience, Cari, for taking the time to think of us and show everything. I pray that I will have a chance to see such a stunning place in my lifetime.

[DianeC]

Stunning, Cari. I cried when I saw the puffins. They're such a special bird. You filmed this so beautifully. Iceland is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🤗💕💕

[Patatepourrie]

The whole glacier and iceberg montage with clips of different chunks of ice had my brain immediately screaming “ICE IS MY LIFE!” like Kristoff in Frozen 😂

[AmberandtheOutdoors]

I’ve been following your Channel for a while and finally decided to comment!
This Iceland vlog is amazing and couldn’t have came at a better time for me as I’m going to iceland for a 1 week tour next week and having watched your video I’m inspired to give glacier walking a shot. Thanks for sharing such great content and shots of the stunning scenery 😊

[Bananahammockingbird]

Oh my, wonderful video Cari, I cried a lot looking at the beautiful mountains and foss! So amazing that this planet gives us such a magical experience if we open up to it
I am in awe! Amazing content as usual

[tattooedkittykat]

Me always getting FOMO from watching your travel vlogs 😆 Iceland is a bucket list destination for me 🫶

[Meow-Meow]

Best travel vlog of Iceland I’ve ever seen Cari. The country should pay you for that on their tourism website. Absolutely a bucket list item.( one of my favorite parts to your vlogs is the music you put to it Cari. Don’t think that goes unnoticed.)

[heartofstone_]

I just recently discovered your travel vlogs and I them ❤ You have such a way to capture the beauty and engergy of the places you visit 🥰 Thanks for taking us along with you! Iceland is so ridiculously gorgeous. Glad you enjoyed it so much! I went for a two weeks hiking trip in the Icelandic highlands a few years ago and it was just wow! I still can't believe I was there when I look at my pictures. It's just so unreal!

[courtneyprantl]

I've visited Iceland twice and I still can't get over how gorgeous it is. ❤🇮🇸

[thattinyfox]

The moment in the dark cave just gave me chills, I got teary and I wasn't even there, thank you for sharing it!! (And everything else, Iceland is beautiful) ❤
