What should I pack when moving to Puerto Plata?

"When moving to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack some formal wear for special occasions or dining out at upscale restaurants. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as flip flops for the beach. If you plan on hiking or exploring the natural parks, consider packing hiking boots and insect repellent. Pack your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last your stay, along with a copy of your prescription. Bring your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in the Dominican Republic. Don't forget your electronics, like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An adapter might be necessary as the power sockets are type A and B. Lastly, pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, or download a language app on your phone, as English is not widely spoken outside of tourist areas," explained one expat living in Puerto Plata, the Dominican Republic.
