"When moving to Volcan, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, shorts, and long pants. You should also pack a rain jacket or umbrella as it can rain frequently. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip-flops for more casual occasions. Don't forget to pack a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Pack your toiletries, but remember that many items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it may be best to bring them with you. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or condiments that may not be available locally. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents. Don't forget your electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and any necessary chargers or adapters. Lastly, consider packing items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," remarked another expat in Volcan, Panama.
