What should I pack when moving to Sao Paulo?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Sao Paulo to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"1. Bring Everything you can from undies to electronics. Everything is crazy expensive. 2. Bring some winter clothing, ski holidays to Chile are a great escape. 3. Bring Electric Mattress pads, blankets and heaters. There is no heating in Brazilian homes and it gets very cold in the winter. All buildings are cement and the winter is cold and humid. 1. Leave Nothing," remarked another expat who made the move to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

"When moving to Sao Paulo, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack comfortable, lightweight clothing that is suitable for the hot and humid climate. Bring items that will help you stay cool, such as a fan, sunglasses, and a hat. Make sure to bring a good pair of walking shoes, as Sao Paulo is a large city with plenty of walking opportunities. Additionally, pack items that will help you adjust to the culture, such as books about the city and its history, and items that will help you learn Portuguese. Finally, don't forget to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport and visa," explained one expat living in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
