What should I pack when moving to Ukraine?
We asked people living in Ukraine to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Ukraine, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack warm clothing such as sweaters, coats, and hats for the cold winter months. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city. Pack items that will help you stay connected to your home country, such as a laptop, phone, and charger. Bring a few books to help you learn the language and culture. Don't forget to pack any necessary documents, such as a passport and visa. Finally, bring a few items that will help you feel at home, such as photos, souvenirs, and favorite items," commented one expat who made the move to Ukraine.
