What should I pack when moving to Chisinau?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Chisinau, you should pack essential documents such as your passport, visa, birth certificate, and any other identification documents. Bring enough local currency (Moldovan Leu) for initial expenses and a credit or debit card that works internationally. Pack appropriate clothing for the climate, which includes warm clothes for the cold winters and lighter clothes for the hot summers. Don't forget to bring a waterproof jacket and comfortable shoes for walking around the city. Bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of your prescriptions and a letter from your doctor explaining your medical needs. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with over-the-counter medications for common ailments. Pack electronic devices such as your smartphone, laptop, and chargers, as well as a power adapter for European outlets. You may also want to bring a portable power bank for charging your devices on the go. Bring toiletries and personal care items, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. You may also want to pack a razor, deodorant, and any other personal care items you use daily. Pack any sentimental or valuable items that you cannot replace, such as family photos, heirlooms, or important documents. It's also a good idea to bring a few items that remind you of home, like a favorite book or a small keepsake. If you plan on cooking at home, consider packing a few essential kitchen items, such as a good knife, a cutting board, and some basic utensils. You can purchase most kitchen items in Chisinau, but having a few essentials on hand can make settling in easier. Lastly, pack a small bag with essentials for your first few days in Chisinau, including a change of clothes, toiletries, and any important documents. This will make your arrival more comfortable and ensure you have everything you need while you unpack and settle into your new home," remarked another expat who made the move to Chisinau, Moldova.
