"When moving to Iceland, it is important to pack warm and waterproof clothing, as the weather can be unpredictable. A good pair of walking boots is also essential, as Iceland is known for its rugged terrain. It is also a good idea to bring a good supply of sunscreen, as the sun is very strong in Iceland. Additionally, it is important to bring a good supply of medication, as some medications may not be available in Iceland. Finally, it is important to bring a good supply of cash, as some places may not accept credit cards," said another expat in Iceland.
