"When moving to San Pedro, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack a rain jacket or umbrella for the rainy season. Comfortable walking shoes, sandals, and water shoes are essential for various activities. Pack enough prescription medication for the duration of your stay, as well as a basic first aid kit. Include insect repellent and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun and bugs. Bring your personal toiletries, although keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and solution. Pack your important documents such as passport, driver's license, and medical records in a safe and accessible place. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or condiments that may not be available locally. Don't forget your electronics like your phone, laptop, and camera, along with their chargers. A power adapter may be necessary depending on your devices. Bring some cash for immediate expenses upon arrival, but remember that credit cards are widely accepted. Lastly, pack some items that remind you of home, like photos or small mementos, to help you settle into your new environment," remarked another expat who made the move to San Pedro, Belize.
