What should I pack when moving to Jarabacoa?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget a swimsuit for the beautiful beaches and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Pack a light jacket or sweater as well, because the evenings can get a bit chilly, especially in the higher altitudes. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. Remember to bring your toiletries, prescription medications, and any other personal care items you use daily. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers. Don't forget your passport, driver's license, and other important documents. Make copies of these and keep them in a separate place in case of loss or theft. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as English is not widely spoken in Jarabacoa. Bring your electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and camera, along with the necessary chargers and adapters. The Dominican Republic uses Type A and Type B plugs, the same as the United States and Canada. Lastly, pack some snacks for the journey and any specific food items you can't live without, as they may not be available in the Dominican Republic," wrote a member who made the move to Jarabacoa, the Dominican Republic.
