What should I pack when moving to Puerto Rico?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Puerto Rico, it's essential to pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. Don't forget to pack a good quality rain jacket or umbrella, as rain can be frequent. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also necessary to protect yourself from the sun. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking boots if you plan on trekking in the mountains. If you're planning on visiting the beach, don't forget your swimsuit, beach towel, and flip flops. Bring along any prescription medications you may need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any necessary vaccinations for tropical diseases. Remember to pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary work documents. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Ecuador. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as not everyone in Ecuador speaks English. Lastly, don't forget to pack your electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and camera, along with the necessary chargers and adapters. Remember, it's always better to pack light and buy what you need when you arrive," remarked another expat who made the move to Puerto Rico, Ecuador.
