What should I pack when moving to Turkmenistan?
We asked people living in Turkmenistan to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Turkmenistan, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the climate. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are best for the hot summers, while warm layers are necessary for the cold winters. It is also important to bring any necessary medications, as well as any documents or paperwork needed for the move. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items from home to make the transition easier, such as photos, books, or other personal items. Finally, it is important to check the customs regulations for the country before packing, as some items may be restricted," wrote a member who made the move to Turkmenistan.
