"When moving to Ensenada, it's important to pack clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including light clothing for warm summers and heavier clothing for cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Bring along your personal documents such as passport, driver's license, birth certificate, and any necessary visas or work permits. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have enough to last until you can arrange a new supply in Mexico. Pack your electronics, including your laptop, smartphone, and any other devices you use regularly. Don't forget the appropriate chargers and adapters for Mexican outlets. If you're planning on driving in Mexico, consider bringing your vehicle, but make sure to research the necessary steps for importing a car. Pack personal hygiene items, although keep in mind that most things can be bought locally. If you have a preferred brand that might not be available in Mexico, consider bringing a supply with you. Bring some home comforts to help you settle in, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Lastly, if you're moving with pets, don't forget to pack their essentials like food, toys, and bedding, and ensure you have the necessary paperwork for bringing pets into the country," said another expat in Ensenada, Mexico.
