What should I pack when moving to San Jose?
We asked people living in San Jose to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to San Jose, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for different weather conditions, including lightweight clothing for the warm summer months and heavier clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Uruguay can experience heavy rainfall throughout the year. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as well as sandals for the beach if you plan on visiting the coast. If you're planning on participating in outdoor activities, consider packing hiking boots and sportswear. Bring your essential toiletries, but remember that you can also buy most items in local stores. If you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them with you, as they might not be available in Uruguay. Pack all necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. Also, bring any necessary medical records and prescriptions. If you're moving for work, bring any necessary work materials, like your laptop and other electronics. Don't forget to pack the appropriate power adapters for Uruguay's power outlets. Pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items from home, especially if they're specific to your home country and might not be available in Uruguay. Lastly, consider packing some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, and favorite books," remarked another expat in San Jose, Uruguay.
