      Thank you for posting! Iceland is a beautiful and safe country. I strongly advise buying the Ororo heated vest, $60 from Amazon, and buy an extra battery. I used it for Antarctica and only needed 1 long sleeve shirt underneath. It can also charge your cell on the go. About snacks, cliff bars are packable and really do the trick to solve your hunger. Thank you for telling us how much you paid for food. This was enlightening!

    This was SO helpful. I will be going to Iceland on a Solo trip this fall. I have never been on a plane at all, anywhere. So I am extra preparing for my trip! I am so excited, and grateful to learn that Iceland is a very safe country, it put my mind at ease! :)

    Fantastic video! Great tips! Add one, the hotels all have these heated towel racks. FANTASTIC for drying your stuff. I even washed my clothes in the sink and used those towel racks to dry my stuff. They would dry anything in a couple of hours! Another one I thought, they make beanie hats with internal plastic liners. FIND ONE. The Iceland clothing line 66 degrees sells them but they are EXPENSIVE there. The wind in Iceland can burst up to 50 degrees fast and it is COLD. Those hats are amazing in that wind, and keep the moisture off you too.

    Thanks for all these tips! They are really useful! I could totally relate about the not planning anything or planning the night before thing XD I started solo traveling last year (first destination: Switzerland!) and it is amazing. I love just traveling to other countries withow any clue of what I'm going to do. This year I'm planning to go to Iceland, but as I don't have a driving license just yet, and I dont really like paying huge amounts of money in transportation, I might just walk the entire country XD. Your video gave me a few ideas for spending the night somewhere. So thank you again! (btw I highly highly recommend Switzerland!!! Specially the area around Kandersteg, where I stayed)

      I think I only had to fill up once which was nice because it is expensive! But I definitely had to plan ahead because you can only really find gas stations in the major cities/towns from what I remember.

    • @itsmekatecote
      @itsmekatecote  2 года назад +1

      Hi! I rented through a company called IceCarRentals I think. And it depends on where you want to go! For my particular itinerary and budget, I didn't end up renting a 4x4 and it worked perfect. But if you want to travel into the highlands you should have a 4x4!
