10 Reasons to Move to Iceland

What are the reasons to move to Iceland? To many people, Iceland is just a small country in Europe. However, this island country in the North Atlantic Ocean has a lot of good things to offer for those who desire to have a taste of life in Iceland. In this video, you’re going to see 10 reasons to move to Iceland. You’ll then discover certain things that are magnetically cool about Iceland. This is a country that’s sprawling with wonders of nature including stunning glaciers, astonishing lava formations, amazing geysers, and dazzling fjords. No wonder, it's always found in several lists of the best places to visit in Europe. I dare add Iceland to the list of best places to live even in the whole world.
As you go through these reasons to move to Iceland as presented in this video, you’ll see the best things about living in Iceland.
1. It’s very safe
In my own opinion, the foremost reason to move to Iceland is safety considerations. I have earlier sided with those who voted Iceland as the safest country in the world. This is largely due to the fact that the country is very tiny, and criminals have no hiding place. Save for the few mountains, there’s literally nowhere to run on the island. Criminals will find it hard to escape as everyone knows each other. About every Icelander is somewhat related to another when family trees are extended to the sixth generation.
Iceland's crime rate is among the lowest. Children play outside unsupervised only to return home just before dinner or curfew. Did you know that Icelandic police don’t carry guns? Now, you see why the country keeps topping several rankings of safest countries, including the IEP's Global Peace Index.
2. Nature
Tranquility is associated with getting close to nature and this can go a long way in improving our health. You can enjoy this in your country without a long journey if you move to Iceland. One of the best things about living in Iceland is that you get the chance to experience nature uninhibited. There are many wonders of nature in this country. That’s one of the reasons Iceland is among the small most-visited countries by tourists.
Among the tourist attractions you can see more frequently while living in Iceland are exotic waterfalls. There is also a blue lagoon where tourists always bathe in. Another wonder of nature is the hot pools with waters of varying temperatures. Imagine seeing the sun at the midnight. It happens here in Iceland from May to July. Do we need to mention glaciers and ice caves? These provide you with reasons to move to Iceland.
3. Equality
Another reason to move to Iceland is equality. Let's narrow this down to gender equality which Iceland ranks first for. Iceland has commendably made remarkable progress toward equal opportunities for both genders both in private lives and in the society at large. This is a source of pride for the Icelanders as the country is the frontrunner in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index for many several years.
Women rights defenders are doing a lot to challenge the men’s monopoly of power. This is not in isolation. They’re a direct result of academic, cultural, political, religious, social, awakening that’s loud in Iceland. For example, Iceland is one of the Nordic countries where the welfare state is supportive of granting parental leave also to fathers. Subsequently, both mates have equal power and responsibility to run the home and share in the family responsibility.
4. Very quiet and peaceful
A country ranked one of the safest is automatically peaceful. And a country that still preserves its open landscape, leaving the awe-inspiring and superabundant of fresh nature untouched is likely to be quiet.

#Iceland

I had a friend from Iceland in college who moved to the US for school- and I’ve never met a more stable and well spoken, smart man. Also politically it sounds like Iceland cares for its people unlike the US. Plus he said each student in Iceland becomes fluent in several languages by the time they graduate Highschool (or at least at the level where they could communicate in that language decently)

10 reasons not to move to Iceland: 1. The housing market is so crowded if one studio apartment is advertised, it gets 400 applications and it is extremely expensive. 2. The healthcare system has collapsed and just getting appointment at doctor is often weeks when it used to be few days. There is so much stress on healthcare workers, they just quit. 3 The police force is also overloaded with subjects and do not seem to care about people when something is stolen. 4. Though it is still safe, it is less safer than before. 5. The food is expensive. 6. The weather is not the best and very often windy and cold. 7. There are already 12.000 or more men in the country than women (3-4%) so the gender difference is not balanced and it is almost only due to immigration. 8. It has become less welcoming and more xenophobic in recent years. 9. During the winter the days become dark very early and sunlight is limited. 10. It is very difficult to become sustainable and try to grow food unless you get yourself a good greenhouse and equipment which is expensive as everything. I can mention many more but i guess Iceland is just a little tribe in the north and if everyone wants to move there it doesn't stay as good as everyone thinks.

I’m an American who lived in Iceland from 2016-2019 for work and when I left I was
More ready to go.

People in iceland are the most polite, literate and most well spoken folks I have ever met in my life. Before you even dabble moving to iceland, just know that the most annoying thing Icelanders do not like to hear when they call to a business place is "eg tala ekki islensku". Lots of foreigners who stay in iceland are learning icelandic and some folks are not even trying to learn icelandic and they are just there to get a paycheck and use english as their primary language of communication. While not necessary to learn icelandic to get a job, its important to know that is their national language and if you plan on getting a professional job in Iceland that will pay a lot more, you best know some basic/mid level icelandic as some business discussions are done in icelandic and english. If you work for a company that is owned by a danish company, expect to hear icelandic/danish and english across the room. Overall, iceland is the most ideal place to raise a child. Been there so many times and have family of kin that kids were rarely on electronics. They were either reading or watching something on tv that is actually educational. Rarely, cartoons were only on for younger kids.

When ever I hear ice land it has always have a different place in my heart and I'm from india

[animallover]

I have seen this philosophy throughout the Nordic countries. It’s not actually the WHERE you live it’s the HOW❤

[davidlancaster]

Would like to leave the UK. Iceland sounds like a quality place.

[travelgreatvacations]

I feel like Iceland has everything you’d want in a country! Thank goodness they tricked us with the name originally to keep from overpopulation 🤣🙌

[marcderiveau]

Before being too excited to live in Iceland
- Iceland is the second most expensive country in the world after Swiss
- Icelandic is a hard language to learn
But I won’t move away from Iceland

[djomlamadzy]

I would love to live in Iceland, dont care about cold, rain and sun, I love coldness and darkness...but I probably wouldnt last long if I had no normal job to make money for normal living, no need some big fortune or whatever, just for normal life to pay bills, food, house and sunday pub 😊

[mrsnegrich]

I would absolutely love to live in Iceland. No heat bubble and lots of snow, my favourite season. I guess even if it’s dark 6 months, outside is all white, it brightens up everything…❤❤❤ and it smells so clean.

[ixqdbpq]

Love to move if not expensive & People have kindness .

[Mike-zmss]

I really want to go to Iceland so badly
😊

[theworstyoutuber]

The only thing this place needs is a theme park :o (indoor of course lol)

[kevincika]

I would love to move there. It’s small and peaceful. It’s kinda the way of life i’ve enjoyed when i was a kid. But in Iceland will be better, bcs of the income

[kevinrussell]

I can think of another reason to move to Iceland - politics!

The Government in Iceland takes no prisoners when it comes to the job of government. During the global financial crash of 2008, the Prime Minister resigned, and the replacement Government put the bankers responsible on trial. When the US Government came knocking to find out what was going on, the Icelandic Government told them to "go forth and multiply"!

[christopherulrich]

“The grass is always greener in someone else’s yard” comes to mind…

[hermionegardener]

Consider the fact that You don't live there is a reason why its a nice place to visit.

[victoriaakinlolu]

Just like Iceland and Switzerland, i pray lord help me and provide for me, to have experience of this country

[krazyforkdrama]

Adding flipflops to your suitcase is a bit optimistic 😂
