What should I pack when moving to Sosua?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Sosua to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Sosua, Dominican Republic, it's important to pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a few swimsuits for the beach and pool. Pack a good pair of walking shoes or sandals, as well as a pair of dress shoes for more formal occasions. A light jacket or sweater may be needed for cooler evenings. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. A reusable water bottle is also a good idea to stay hydrated. Pack all necessary toiletries, including toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. It's also a good idea to bring a first aid kit with basic supplies like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter medication. Remember to bring all necessary documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Sosua. Pack any electronics you'll need, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers. A power adapter may be necessary if your devices don't match the local outlets. Bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of your prescription. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, a favorite blanket, or a beloved book," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Sosua, the Dominican Republic.
