What should I pack when moving to Sarteneja?
We asked people living in Sarteneja to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Sarteneja, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a good amount of swimwear as Belize is known for its beautiful beaches and water activities. A sturdy pair of sandals or flip flops for the beach and a pair of comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town and surrounding areas are essential. Also, pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Insect repellent is a must-have item due to the presence of mosquitoes and other insects. You should also consider packing a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella as Belize can have sudden rain showers. Bring along any prescription medications you may need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack a water bottle to stay hydrated, especially during the hotter months. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or condiments that may not be readily available in Belize. Don't forget to pack your passport, driver's license, and any other necessary identification. Also, bring copies of important documents such as your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. Lastly, pack any electronics you may need, such as your phone, laptop, and camera, along with the necessary chargers and adapters. Belize uses 110 volt, 60 cycle electricity, same as the US," remarked another expat in Sarteneja, Belize.
