We asked people living in Dominican Rep to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to the Dominican Republic, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the warm and humid climate. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the country. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also essential for protecting yourself from the sun. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary medications and toiletries. Don't forget to bring a few items that will help you feel at home, such as photos, books, and music," said another expat in Dominican Rep.

"I wish I'd brought Cooking utensels, Spices for cooking, American Cable TV. There's nothing I wish I'd left behind," wrote a member who made the move to Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.
