We asked people living in Iceland to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"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 a member in Iceland.
