What should I pack when moving to Sokcho?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Sokcho, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year. This includes warm clothing for the winter months, such as coats, scarves, gloves, and hats, as well as lighter clothing for the summer, like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Sokcho is a beautiful city with many sights to see on foot. Don't forget to bring a raincoat or umbrella, as the city gets quite a bit of rain, especially during the monsoon season. In terms of electronics, bring any necessary chargers and adapters for your devices. South Korea uses Type C and Type F plugs, so make sure to bring the right kind of adapter. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Sokcho. Similarly, if you have any favorite toiletries or over-the-counter medications, it's a good idea to bring them along, as they may not be available in Korea. Don't forget to pack any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, and any other identification or paperwork you might need. It's also a good idea to bring a small amount of Korean currency for immediate expenses upon arrival. Lastly, bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. Moving to a new country can be a big adjustment, and these familiar items can help make the transition a little easier," remarked another expat who made the move to Sokcho, Korea.
