"When moving to Grindavik, you should pack warm clothing such as thermal underwear, sweaters, and heavy jackets, as the weather can be quite cold. Waterproof boots and rain gear are also essential due to the frequent rain and snow. Don't forget to pack hats, gloves, and scarves to protect against the wind and cold. You should also pack casual clothing for indoor activities and formal wear if you plan on dining out or attending special events. It's also a good idea to pack swimwear, as there are many geothermal pools in Iceland. Bring a good quality camera or smartphone for taking pictures of the stunning landscapes. If you plan on hiking or exploring the outdoors, pack sturdy hiking boots, a backpack, and outdoor gear. Pack all necessary toiletries, as they can be expensive in Iceland. This includes items like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and any other personal care items you use daily. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your entire stay, as it may be difficult to refill your prescription in Iceland. Don't forget to pack travel adapters for your electronic devices, as the plug type in Iceland may be different from your home country. Lastly, pack some comfort items from home, like your favorite snacks, books, or anything else that will make your new place feel more like home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Grindavik, Iceland.
