Iceland Montage - Looking for feedback

Hey dudes - I've been making edits as a hobby every time I get the chance to travel. I think it's a fun way to look back and reminisce on good memories. I'm looking for some feedback to add more appeal to the viewer. I'm in a bit of rut with my edits, and hopefully one of you can give me some tips on making my videos more interesting. Whether that be more transitions or a bit of a storyline. My edits are usually plotless and sometimes confuse the viewer. Here is a link to my latest video that I shot while I drove around Iceland this winter.

I think you already know what you need! There were lots of appealing locations and you did a great job capturing them but other than that the video was boring. Try planning transitions and shots, making more of a story out of it will help for sure. There's definitely no shortage of these videos, so it is hard to stand out, but there is lots of inspiration out there.
I'd also try cutting it shorter. In my eyes you could have done the same thing in 2-3 mins as you did in 4
