Natalie and I just went to Iceland you
know the place where waterfalls are made
of skittles groceries cost more than
rent and everything is impossible to
pronounce every mile you drive you
couldn't think this place would look
anymore but it does
for half of our stay we shacked up in
one of these little homes tucked into
the fight town of Roone Dimmick and it
was pretty awesome this is day one in
Iceland Natalie's in the bathroom can I
say can I say that and we are about to
hit the Golden Circle
it's like the main I guess the main
touristy type loop in Iceland where you
can hit a bunch of different sites good
toilet is super loud larger than a hotel
room but much smaller than the average
home what initially drew us to the space
was the amazing view of the harbor in
grande avec probably why they called the
place harbour view there are ten
identical units on the property and as
close as they are privacy wasn't an
issue it was actually much more private
than sharing walls with other guests
alright so this is the tiny house hotel
that we're staying in it's pretty cool
I'm gonna give you a little tour the
place was thoughtfully designed it had
this hidden refrigerator and a useful
kitchenette with a working stove
cups plates and bowls are stored above
the sink extra pillows and blankets are
located under the main window ugly red
couch bags are hidden in here for the
record I only put the bags in here for
the shoot normally we're very messy the
shower moves I don't know why it does
that
maybe one of you guys know this is a
heated towel rack I don't know if it's
necessary minimalist but I like it as
thoughtful as most of the design was if
it lacked in one area it would be
lighting oh sorry
now I might be pickier than most but
right before bed I don't want a harsh
bright daylight bulb filling the room
but other than that everything was great
as a minimalist I knew that I would love
staying in a tiny place but would
Natalie feel the same way now that we're
back tell me could you live in a tiny
house no you couldn't
no you could no I think you could but
you wouldn't you define live if we had
kids I didn't think I could live in a
tiny house and living in a tiny house I
fear loses the opportunity to entertain
I think both of us could do it I don't
think either of us would want to with
our currently how our lives are set up
like think back to Brooklyn when you had
to put all your cosmetics into the
kitchen drawer because we just didn't
have enough space like having not having
a nice my pants right now next to the
fork yeah not good not very sanitary I
mean my hand with a fork
that's multi-purpose yeah that's a
little as minimalism the idea is we
probably could do it we'd have to
sacrifice and get rid of a lot of stuff
but it would be sacrifices which isn't I
don't think the point of living a
simpler life yeah you want to be able to
actually still enjoy and live a full
life live a full life but in terms of
our vacation how did you like it I
really
they liked it when you travel more often
than not you're locked up in this tiny
hotel room where you're kind of stepping
on each other's staff you're gonna plug
that in oh you're doing your hair over
here yeah you don't get any knocks of
privacy you know Airbnb is being great
for that but you still get the sense
that you're living in someone else's
space so what I liked about this tiny
home was that it was serviced like a
hotel room like we would get turnovers
and cleanups and it was very like clean
and put together but there was a lot
more space than you would get in a hotel
room and I like that we had like a fully
functioning kitchen and like a fully
functioning little lounge space the
bedroom was probably my favorite I
really liked just closing off the rest
of the tiny home and then just having
this battery size two bedroom that just
felt really cozy especially for like
Iceland and it was so windy outside I'm
gonna first night we got there and it
was like gale force winds
and being able to just like hole up kind
of felt like you're a kid getting cozy
inside of your teepee in the lounge room
all over again like it was just really
nice yeah I think for something like a
vacation especially in Iceland the idea
isn't to spent too much time in the
house yeah or in the hotel room but I
really left the tiny heart it just felt
it felt designed to live in not to win
awards if you want to see our entire
trip through Iceland you can get it on
my secret blog every month I upload
exclusive videos to my patreon account
giving an intimate look into my work and
personal life it's like my hidden
YouTube channel I'm overcompensating
this is one of the ways that I'm able to
keep this YouTube channel 100%
advertisement free if you've got some
value from my videos in the past and if
you can afford to spare a couple bucks a
