What to pack for Iceland {Summer}
Visiting Iceland in the Summer is an unforgettable experience. From late May to early August, Iceland experiences nearly 24 hours of daylight. The weather is pleasant ranging from 50-60°F (10-15°C), making outdoor adventures more comfortable compared to the harsh winter cold.
The summer transforms Iceland into a green paradise, with lush valleys, vibrant wildflowers, and waterfalls at their most powerful due to melting snow.
Summer is the best time to see puffins, which nest along the cliffs, as well as whales, seals, and Arctic foxes. Whale watching tours are especially popular during this season.
The weather in Iceland in unpredictable even in the Summer. At times very windy and can rain at any time. Packing for Iceland in the summer requires preparing for unpredictable weather, including mild temperatures, wind, and occasional rain. Here’s a practical packing list I used:
Clothing:
- Waterproof jacket & pants
- Fleece or warm sweater
- Lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers
- T-shirts & long-sleeve shirts
- Comfortable hiking pants

Toiletries & Essentials:

- Basic medications & personal prescriptions
- Motion sickness tablets (if planning boat trips)
Optional Items:

Even in summer, Iceland’s weather can be unpredictable, so layering is key. Enjoy your adventure!
What to pack for Iceland {Winter}
Visiting Iceland in the winter is like stepping into a magical wonderland of icy landscapes and breathtaking natural beauty. The Northern Lights dance across the dark skies, painting them with shades of green and purple, while frozen waterfalls like Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss glisten in the winter sun.
A journey along the Golden Circle reveals powerful geysers erupting in bursts of steam and the stunning Þingvellir National Park, where tectonic plates meet. Along the way, Icelandic ponies stand proudly in snowy fields, their thick coats keeping them warm against the chill.
To unwind, a visit to Sky Lagoon offers a soothing soak in warm geothermal waters with a panoramic view of the Atlantic. Whether exploring glaciers, black sand beaches, or volcanic landscapes, Iceland in winter is an unforgettable adventure.

Christmas Gift Ideas
For the travel enthusiast in your life, Christmas offers the perfect time to give gifts that inspire adventure and make journeys more enjoyable. Consider something practical yet thoughtful items like a high-quality travel backpack, a versatile packing cube set, or a durable travel wallet to keep essentials organized. Tech-savvy travelers will appreciate portable chargers, noise-canceling headphones, or compact travel adapters. For those who love experiences, airline tickets, a group trip, or gift cards for hotels can help fuel their wanderlust. These travel-inspired gifts are sure to delight and accompany them on their next adventure. Here are my favorite travel items, travel deals, and info on my next group trips.
think practical
These packing cubes not only help you get organized, but can also make the most room of your luggage. They also work great when you switch hotels often and keep you organized and not having to unpack every time you switch locations.
A carry-on backpack is great for all travelers, they fit under the seat and provide ample space for a weekend trip. This is my favorite bag, it offers plenty of storage space and pockets.
Luggage covers have saved me multiple times but most recently on a tight connection where I was able to distinguish my bag quickly and efficiently. They come in all sizes and several different prints. If you want to make it even more personalized, you can add a funny picture on them. Amazon has several options for personalization. Personalized luggage covers
tech-savvy
Air tags are my #1 recommended purchase! These are great for tracking your luggage but can also be used on wallet, purses, and even passports. You can never have too many. I personally use three of them when traveling and always good to know I can depend on tracking my luggage in the event I check a bag. Amazon currently has a pack of 4 for $72.
Power banks are very much needed specially when traveling abroad and not having an immediate wall plug available. Using google maps and google translate can drain your battery, so having these available is always so helpful. I usually travel with 2-3 of them at a time. I don’t love one over the other, I just get whatever is reasonably priced. Here are some samples (I may or may not have all of these) lol
Noise canceling headphones/Airpods
Traveling abroad or catching an early flight may be too stimulating for some, so noise cancellation headphones come in handy to block all the unwanted noise and multiple airline messages (I do recommend you listen, sometimes it can be request for emergency personnel). I am between AirPods and Beats Studio Pros
A Universal plug adaptor is highly needed when traveling abroad as many countries have different plugs.
experiences
Now this part, is my favorite! You can provide someone with a great adventure. Maybe a solo/group trip, an upgrade on their flight, or credit gift card for their travel adventure. For a solo/group trip follow my page on IG for trip details. Travel Nurse Wanderer

recommendations
Think hot and humid, so you definitely want to feel comfortable. Below are my recommendations and links.
T-shirts: think lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying T-shirts that can handle humidity, sweat, and sun. Here’s a breakdown of the best types to pack, with brand and style suggestions based on comfort, performance, and style.
Shorts: the key is comfort, breathability, and versatility —you’ll be dealing with high humidity, heat, beach days, and occasional temple visits
Sundresses/linen pants: besides being comfortable, they are lightweight, quick drying, and can dress up or down to your liking. I also purchased some comfy wide pants in Bali. I personally like longer sundresses but Amazon has a huge selection at reasonable prices. I own several linen pants from Old Navy and still my favorite today.
Light-weight long sleeve: This is perfect for temple visits and for night strolls through the beach as it can be breezy.
Swimsuits/cover-ups: I packed 2 swimsuits that interchanged and used them all, always having one dry one available. Cover ups are great and can be used as sundresses as well.
Sandals/Flip flops: I probably used my Birks the most, and used flip flops for the pool and in the hotel.
Sneakers: In case you’re in the market for a comfy travel shoe, these are my favorite and no need to break them in. They have many miles on them and are still holding up after every trip, just know they are white and requiring lots of cleaning.
Sun hat: This one is my favorite and has traveled to several countries with me, very versatile and easy to pack.
Beach bag: This bag fits the essentials you need while at the beach and fits anywhere in your suitcase.
Travel towel: These are quick drying, lightweight, and fit anywhere.
Detergent sheets: In case you want to do laundry.
Toiletries: As far as toiletries go, you take your favorite! However all hotels have shampoo/conditioner/shower gel available. They do not have wash cloths, so pack these compressible disposable wash cloths or you pack your own loofah. I also pack travel size bath and body works products to change up the scent. Here is my favorite new scent.
Packing wisely for Egypt is key for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. From the sunny temples of Luxor to the beaches of Hurghada, you’ll need versatile clothing and practical gear. Being prepared lets you enjoy your adventures—like exploring ruins, cruising the Nile, or snorkeling in the Red Sea—without worrying about the heat or customs. With the right essentials, you’ll travel confidently and enjoy all that Egypt offers. 🧕 🏛️ 🏺 🌞 🐫

The most common way to get around Lisbon is the tram and tuk tuks which appeared to be fun to ride, but definitely not as inexpensive. We chose the tram and also found Lisbon to be very walkable, but be prepared to walk, climb numerous stairs, and steep streets. Wear comfortable shoes. Uber is also an option, but I found that with some crowded streets it would take longer than just walking.
Baixa and Chiado districts are located in the heart of Lisbon, where you will find most of the historical monuments and the famous shopping street. These areas are definitely touristy, so prepare to have some crowds.
Explore Bairro Alto and Alfama. In these two neighborhoods, you won’t have a list to follow, just get lost and enjoy the scene.
