"When moving to Poland, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the climate can be quite cold in the winter months. It is also a good idea to bring a few items of comfortable, casual clothing for everyday wear. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and any other paperwork required for your stay. It is also a good idea to bring any necessary medications, as well as any other items that you may need for your stay. Finally, it is important to bring any items that will help you feel at home, such as photographs, books, and other personal items," said another expat in Poland.
