Take a moment to breathe: Watch my brand new 17 minutes of Cinematic Zen From Iceland video


New Iceland Video

Hey, not a campaign email! I bet you're stoked about that, haha. (But please vote if you haven't!)

However you're feeling today, I think you will vote in favor of this video. I finally compiled all of my Iceland drone videos from my 2023 trip into a relaxing 17-minute video that showcases the beauty of Iceland's landscapes.

If you need a break from the TV, a moment of Zen, or just enjoy watching nature videos, I think you'll love this. Thanks for watching, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you hit the subscribe button.

(PS: This looks way better if you watch it on your TV. Find your YouTube app, search for my channel, AlecOutside, and watch it there at 4K.)

Jaimie gets a fresh start at a new hospital, and I get to explore new mountains and trails, and bring you all the...

I returned from eight days in Ireland last weekend and thankfully only had two days of jetlag to overcome. It was an unbelievable experience. We saw castles, coastlines, lakes, and cliffs, and ate and drank our way through the country's southern half. This was my second time across the pond and I fell more in love with the country. It's an easy place to travel to and has fantastic amenities, food, and more. 7 Things To Mention About Ireland 1. The roads couldn't be narrower This isn't an...
