What should I pack when moving to Thun?
We asked people living in Thun to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Thun, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the varying weather conditions. This includes warm clothing for the winter months, such as thermal underwear, sweaters, scarves, gloves, and a heavy coat. You should also pack lighter clothing for the summer months, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack sturdy shoes for walking and hiking, as Thun is surrounded by beautiful nature trails. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also essential due to the frequent rain in Switzerland. Pack your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. If you have prescription medications, bring enough to last for your first few weeks, along with a copy of your prescription. Bring your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Switzerland. Remember to pack any electronics you use daily, like your laptop or smartphone, along with the necessary chargers and adapters for Swiss outlets. Lastly, bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books," remarked another expat who made the move to Thun, Switzerland.
