"When moving to Romania, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the season, such as a coat and warm clothing for the winter months. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city. Make sure to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport and visa. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items from home to make your new home feel more familiar. Don't forget to pack any necessary medications and toiletries. Finally, it is important to bring a few items that will help you learn the language, such as a Romanian dictionary or phrasebook," remarked another expat who made the move to Romania.
