Iceland

Iceland

It's not always about where you go, but the company you surround yourself with. This past week I made a decision to go on a trip to Iceland with a bunch of strangers. I literally had never met anyone prior to this trip, but what started off as complete strangers quickly became a brotherhood. It's been a crazy week that I can't put into words. I'm missing everyone and am very grateful to have made so many great friends on this amazing trip. Moments like these you can't recreate and I'm excited for our next crazy adventure.

Hi @kevinreber, I always believe if everyone have same hobbies or interest, stranger also can become friend. You guys can offer to iceland government to promote tourism. The video was wonderful especially the waterfall. It looks like took and edited by a professional. Good job. I love the waterfall, you have captured it beautifully. I love archie's photo, it look so cool and secretive hehehhe.. who took that picture

And how you introduced your friend , I love it.. How many days you guys in iceland? You met them there or how you guys meet?

@oliviackl Thank you! We were in Iceland for a little over a week but covered so much ground. It was all an amazing experience. I actually met Cuong through instagram while we has looking for ppl to join him on his Iceland Tour. I was the only stranger who responded to his post and take him up on his offer. The landscape in Iceland is something that's really out of this world. I have a lot more photos I'll be sharing over time! =]

It really cool. I didn't know Instagram have such activities. Not bad at all. The power of social media. So you guys met in Iceland or in somewhere between. I really looking forward to your other photos. This trip would be your unforgettable adventure with stranger then become close friend. Hope you guys still contact each other.

Such experience sounds like a life changer. Thank you for introducing us to the guys through your photos. I like different energies on those photos. It's like you explained how they are on a single photo.

I think in the video there is a moment when you all are holding a camera in your hand? Not sure if I saw it properly as it went very fast. Are you all photographers?

The video is COOL! It's so dynamic, the colors are gorgeous, the action is there, it's edited amazingly and I love how you included the talk.. it's very emotional..

Thank you for sharing! Safe travels! :)

Thank you! We all love creating content through photography and video! It's crazy how we were all able to just come together and collab on everything.

¡Hola kevinreber! Un placer saludarte, observando tus fotos la de la cascada, con Hilmar me gustó mucho, se ve y se siente un poco de nostalgia, el paisaje que lo rodea en ese momento es bellísimo, de imaginarme, en un lugar como ese, con la música los rayos del sol y el sonido de la cascada, se me eriza la piel, es un momento único, gracias por compartirlo, la de Archie también me gusto, por el toque de misterio, es como un personaje saliendo de la neblina a la luz, en realidad todas están las fotos están bellísimas, espero puedas compartir las de tu próximo viaje. ¿Cuándo será tu próximo viaje? ¿Será el mismo grupo o uno nuevo? Ahh… ¿Cuéntame cómo te sentiste con tu voto Curie? disculpa tantas preguntas, muchas bendiciones, cariños y besos

Iceland is a beautiful place for what I can notice. Your photos are spectacular and not to mention the video. The boy who comes out in the middle of the frozen lake, was not afraid to stand there? Maybe I've seen many movies where the ice breaks ...

What are the lowest and highest temperatures of that place? I live in a tropical country, I certainly could not resist the cold of Iceland

Thanks for sharing your experience

Thank you for sharing the photos with us @kevinreber. Gosh, Iceland looks really cold and I love each of the portrait shots. I especially love the one of you watching the glaciers, the one of Hilmar playing the ukelele with the amazing waterfall as the background, the one of Ilan (he looks like a warrior looking out) and the one of Archie which looks really mysterious. I can imagine how great the trip was for you, traveling with a group of strangers who have become good friends I am sure :)

key @kevinreber,
What an amazing story. Travelling for the whole week with completely unknown people in the Iceland. I understand that you knew them, or at least cuongtravels, from the Internet. The 3min footage from your trip was awesome and very professional. Idea of including your emional voice record in the background is just great, also props for additional 2min with "extras" after movie !
Your buddy just gained a new follower on his instagram and you gained new one here, since now I am going to follow you in hope for more stories and photos from the Iceland.
