What should I pack when moving to Stellenbosch?
We asked people living in Stellenbosch to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Stellenbosch, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the warm summers and cooler winters. This includes lightweight clothing for the hot summer months, as well as warmer clothing like sweaters and jackets for the winter. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Stellenbosch is a walkable city with beautiful scenery. You should also pack a high-quality sunscreen, as the sun can be quite strong in South Africa. A hat and sunglasses will also be useful for protecting yourself from the sun. If you plan on spending time outdoors, consider packing insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and other essentials. If you're planning on using electronic devices, remember that South Africa uses a different type of plug, so you'll need to bring a power adapter. Don't forget to pack important documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost. Lastly, consider packing some comfort items from home, like your favorite snacks or books, to help you settle into your new home in Stellenbosch," wrote a member who made the move to Stellenbosch, South Africa.
