Funchal, Portugal
What should I pack when moving to Funchal?
We asked people living in Funchal to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Funchal, you should pack essential documents such as your passport, visa, birth certificate, and any medical records. Bring enough clothing for the mild climate, including light layers, a few sweaters, and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Don't forget comfortable shoes for walking on cobblestone streets and a swimsuit for enjoying the beaches. Pack any necessary prescription medications, along with a basic first aid kit and any preferred over-the-counter medicines. Bring a power adapter for European outlets and any necessary chargers for your electronic devices. It's also a good idea to pack a small Portuguese phrasebook or language learning materials to help you communicate with locals. Consider bringing a few personal items that remind you of home, such as photographs or small mementos. If you have any favorite non-perishable snacks or food items that may be difficult to find in Portugal, pack a small supply to enjoy as you settle into your new home. Lastly, pack a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat for sun protection, as well as a travel umbrella or lightweight rain jacket for the occasional rainy day," wrote a member who made the move to Funchal, Portugal.
