An Expat Talks about Moving to Monterrey, Mexico

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Monterrey

Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.

As you pack for your move to Monterrey, it's important to remember the warm climate. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing in natural fabrics like cotton or linen that can be easily layered as the temperature cools in the evenings. Bring sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses to protect you from the intense sun. Consider packing sturdy tennis shoes or sandals that can handle walking around both indoors and outdoors. A raincoat or umbrella may also be necessary, as Monterrey is part of the Sierra Madre Oriental, which experiences more rainfall than most of the country. Depending on your budget, bring adapters for your electrical appliances for use in the Mexican outlets. Finally, although you are likely to find many items you need locally in Monterrey, it is best to bring any necessities that you may not easily find in Mexico (e.g. dietary staples, contact lenses).
