"When moving to Chicago, it is important to pack warm clothing for the cold winters. Layering is key, so make sure to bring plenty of sweaters, coats, hats, and gloves. Rain gear is also essential, as Chicago experiences a lot of precipitation throughout the year. Additionally, it is important to bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city. Finally, don't forget to bring your favorite items from home to make your new place feel like home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Chicago, the United States.
