"When moving to Cabarete, Dominican Republic, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack a few formal outfits for special occasions or dining out. A light jacket or sweater is also recommended for cooler evenings. Sun protection is essential, so pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high SPF sunscreen. You should also pack a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the heat. Bring comfortable walking shoes, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on participating in water sports, consider packing your own equipment, such as a snorkel or surfboard. Pack all necessary toiletries, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toothpaste. However, keep in mind that these items can also be purchased locally. Don't forget to pack any necessary medications, along with a copy of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. Bring all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. If you plan on working or studying, pack your laptop, charger, and any other necessary electronics. Remember to bring a power adapter if your devices don't match the local outlets. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, a favorite book, or a special keepsake," said another expat in Cabarete, the Dominican Republic.
