"When moving to Bolivia, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the climate. Bolivia has a tropical climate, so lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended. It is also important to bring a good supply of sunscreen and insect repellent. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a first aid kit, as well as any necessary medications. It is also important to bring a good supply of toiletries, as these may be difficult to find in Bolivia. Finally, it is a good idea to bring a few items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as pictures, books, and other personal items," said another expat in Bolivia.
