What should I pack when moving to Ponta Delgada?
We asked people living in Ponta Delgada to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Ponta Delgada, you should pack essential documents such as your passport, visa, birth certificate, and any other identification documents. Bring enough clothing for the mild climate, including light layers, rain gear, and comfortable shoes for walking. Don't forget your swimsuit for enjoying the beautiful beaches and thermal pools. Pack any necessary prescription medications, along with a basic first aid kit and any over-the-counter medications you may need. Bring electronic devices such as your smartphone, laptop, and chargers, as well as a power adapter for European outlets. It's also a good idea to pack a small Portuguese phrasebook or language learning materials to help you communicate with locals. Bring any personal items that will make your new home feel more comfortable, such as family photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. If you have specific dietary needs or preferences, consider packing some non-perishable food items to tide you over until you can find local sources. Lastly, pack a small bag with essentials for your first few days in Ponta Delgada, including toiletries, a change of clothes, and any important documents you'll need immediately upon arrival. This will help make your transition to your new home smoother and more enjoyable," explained one expat living in Ponta Delgada, Portugal.
