What should I pack when moving to El Viejo?
We asked people living in El Viejo to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to El Viejo, it's important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but also pack a few long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect against mosquitoes. A sturdy pair of walking shoes or hiking boots is also recommended for exploring the local terrain. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong sun. A reusable water bottle is also essential to stay hydrated. Pack your necessary toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Bring along any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also wise to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Remember to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost. If you plan on working or studying, don't forget to pack your laptop, chargers, and any other necessary electronics. A universal power adapter might also be useful as the plug type in Nicaragua may be different from your home country. Lastly, consider packing a few comfort items from home, like your favorite snacks, books, or photos, to help you settle into your new surroundings," explained one expat living in El Viejo, Nicaragua.
