Five expats to Iceland told Business Insider about the biggest challenges they faced. "I used to be afraid of winter coming," Jewells Chambers, who relocated from Brooklyn seven years ago and makes the podcast All Things Iceland, said. Public transport is 'terrible'"Driving is the standard in Iceland," Chambers said. "I think tourism has been wonderful for Iceland," Basappa said. And the main street in Reykjavik used to be Icelandic boutiques, but "everything got swept up and turned into puffin shops," she said.

Sonia Nicolson moved to Iceland "for love" in February 2016 after meeting her husband in a bar in Scotland while working at a university in southern England. Deciding whether to live as a couple was a case of "either him coming to the UK or me coming to Iceland," Nicolson said. "I was absolutely exhausted in my career, had worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, traveled a huge amount, and jet lag had never really caught up with me," Nicolson said. She first visited Iceland on a work trip and later spent a month exploring the island in 2015. Though you have to pay for healthcare in Iceland, it's affordable and easy to get same-day doctors' appointments, Nicolson said.

I visited Iceland for the first time in November on a reporting trip. Grace Dean/Business InsiderBut Iceland's population is concentrated in the west of the country. Grace Dean/Business InsiderYou can't find the chains you're used toThere's no McDonald's, Starbucks, or Burger King in Iceland. I found this surprising considering how far west of the UK Iceland is.
