Lows around 41°F. Goes under the shell when the wind picks up.

Wear one, dry one. Cotton stays wet all week here.

The layer you'll wear more than any other.

Winds reach 18 km/h and lows drop to 41°F, so your ears need insulation.

Water reflects UV even in winter, and 10.6 hours of daylight means glare all day.

Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.

Rural terrain and February cold mean cuts and minor injuries take longer to heal.

This country runs on Type C or F. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.

Set it up before you land. Signal drops for long stretches outside cities.

Dark by 6:15pm. Every campsite chore after that is a two-hands job.

Fits overhead on every airline that matters, so you skip the checked-bag line entirely.

For the passport, the chargers, and the one dry pair of socks.

At 41°F with coastal wind, the gap between scarf and jacket collar lets cold through.

One brick charges the laptop, phone, and camera.

Hotel and cafe wifi is shared with everyone else in the building. A VPN keeps your banking and email to yourself.

International airports and crowded old-town streets raise the risk of lost luggage.

Damp coastal air and 72% humidity means wet clothes spread mildew through your bag.

Seventy-two percent humidity and cool temps slow drying, so laundry takes three days.

Layering works better than one thick coat when the day swings 55°F to 41°F.

Tap water is safe here, but your hands touch railings, doors, and cave walls.

One outlet per guesthouse forces you to charge devices in sequence, not parallel.

A few phrases go a long way. Ten minutes a day before you leave is plenty.

Border crossings and hotel check-ins happen faster when your passport stays in one place.

Hostels and shared guesthouses are common here, and your bag sits in common areas.

Humidity fogs mirrors and breeds mold in corners, so ventilation matters in tight bathrooms.

Guesthouses have thin walls and guests wake at dawn to catch short daylight.
