What should I pack when moving to Vik?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Vik, you should pack warm clothing, including thermal underwear, woolen sweaters, and waterproof jackets and pants. You should also pack sturdy, waterproof boots for walking on icy or snowy terrain. Don't forget to pack hats, gloves, and scarves to protect against the cold wind. 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 for visiting geothermal pools and spas. In terms of toiletries, pack travel-sized items to start, but plan on buying full-sized products once you arrive. Don't forget any prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some non-perishable food items to get you started, but keep in mind that grocery stores are available for you to stock up on supplies. For entertainment, consider packing books, a laptop, or other electronics, but remember to bring the appropriate power adapters for Iceland's electrical outlets. Lastly, pack important documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary immigration paperwork. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case the originals are lost or stolen," remarked another expat who made the move to Iceland.
