What should I pack when moving to Amsterdam?
We asked people living in Amsterdam to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Amsterdam, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Pack clothing that is suitable for the cooler temperatures, such as sweaters, jackets, and scarves. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city, as well as an umbrella for the frequent rain. Additionally, it is important to bring items that will help you feel at home, such as pictures of family and friends, favorite books, and any other items that will make you feel comfortable in your new home. Finally, make sure to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork," remarked another expat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
"Wish I had brought my friends, they wouldn't believe this place, also my Starbucks coffee, and The Gap," said a member in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
