What should I pack when moving to Bridgetown?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Bridgetown, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Don't forget your swimwear, as you'll likely spend a lot of time at the beach. Pack plenty of sun protection, including a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. You should also bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the heat. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on dining out or attending events, pack some smart-casual outfits and dress shoes. Remember to bring all necessary documentation, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Also, pack any prescription medications you take regularly, along with a copy of the prescription. If you use specific toiletries or personal care items, consider bringing a supply with you, as they may be more expensive or difficult to find in Barbados. Lastly, pack any electronics you'll need, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers. Consider bringing a power adapter if your devices don't match the local outlets," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bridgetown, Barbados.
