"When moving to Uruguay, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Bring clothing that is suitable for the warm, humid climate, such as light, breathable fabrics. It is also important to bring items that will help you adjust to the culture, such as books about the country's history and culture, and items that will help you learn the language. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and any other paperwork required for your move. Finally, it is important to bring any items that will make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, decorations, and items that remind you of home," wrote a member who made the move to Uruguay.
