Iceland 🇮🇸, you’re more than a destination—you’re a feeling 💓
Wandering through Iceland’s Golden Circle felt like stepping into a dream we didn’t want to wake from.
I’m lost in reverie—of geysers bursting like fire from the earth, of standing breathless beneath Gullfoss’s misty roar, and of wandering Þingvellir’s quiet paths, where the land softly echoes ancient love stories.
📌Here’s how you can make your way to this mesmerising corner of the world 🌍

🧳 What to Pack for Winter in Iceland
Winter in Iceland is magical—but also cold, wet, and windy! To stay warm and comfortable while enjoying those epic landscapes, here’s what we recommend bringing:
👕 Essential Clothing:
🧥Waterproof & windproof outer jacket (a must!)
👚 Insulated layers (like fleece or down jackets) include thermal base layers (top & bottom, wool or synthetic)
👖 Waterproof pants (especially for snow or waterfall hikes)
🧤 Warm hat & gloves (preferably waterproof or wind-resistant)
🧣 Scarf or neck gaiter (the wind can bite!)
🧦 Wool socks (bring extras)
🥾 Sturdy waterproof boots (for icy, snowy terrain)
🎒 Other Must-Haves:
👙 Swimsuit (for hot springs like the Blue Lagoon!)
Microspikes or ice cleats (for walking on icy paths)
😎 Sunglasses (even winter sun can be blinding off the snow)
Power bank (cold drains phone batteries fast)
💨 Moisturizer & lip balm (wind and cold are drying)
Reusable water bottle (Icelandic tap water is pure and delicious)
I hope this guide proves helpful to anyone planning a journey to this breathtaking land of fire 🔥 and ice 🧊
