FROM DREAM TO NIGHTMARE: Influencer moved to the safest country in the world, fled after 7 months
Hana Hamar (27), an Australian influencer and veterinary technician, made a brave decision to start a new life abroad.
TL;DR
- Hana left her job, a long-term relationship, and moved to Iceland, aiming to explore her roots.
- Despite Iceland being ranked the safest country, she found the extreme winter and lack of daylight disruptive.
- Insomnia and isolation contributed to significant mental stress and prompted her return.
- Cultural differences, including initial reserve from locals and a casual dating culture, made socialization difficult.
- High living costs doubled or tripled grocery prices, and extreme weather conditions further complicated life.
- After seven months, Hana decided to return to Australia, citing sleep issues, isolation, and high expenses as primary reasons.
