What should I pack when moving to La Pedrera?
We asked people living in La Pedrera to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to La Pedrera, 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 for exploring the town and beach sandals for the beautiful beaches. Also, bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring your personal toiletries, prescription medications, and any specific over-the-counter medications you may need, as they may not be readily available or may be more expensive in Uruguay. Pack your important documents such as passport, driver's license, medical records, and insurance papers. Also, bring a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as not everyone in Uruguay speaks English. If you plan on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite spices or condiments that may not be available in Uruguay. Don't forget to pack your electronics, including your phone, laptop, and chargers. Also, consider bringing a power adapter, as the plugs in Uruguay may be different from those in your home country. Lastly, pack some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," said another expat in La Pedrera, Uruguay.
