What should I pack when moving to Mechelen?
We asked people living in Mechelen to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Mechelen, you should pack clothing suitable for a temperate maritime climate, which means warm clothing for the winter and lighter clothing for the summer. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Belgium is known for its frequent rain showers. Pack your important documents such as passport, visa, work permit, and any other identification documents. Also, bring any necessary medical records and prescriptions. If you're planning to work or study, pack your necessary work materials or school supplies. Pack your electronics, including your laptop, phone, chargers, and any necessary adapters as Belgium uses type E power sockets. Bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or favorite books. Pack toiletries to last the first few weeks, until you can find where to buy your preferred brands. If you have a favorite non-perishable food item that might not be available in Belgium, consider packing some to have on hand. Remember to pack enough cash or have a way to access money until you can set up a bank account in Belgium. Lastly, if you're planning to drive in Belgium, don't forget to bring your driver's license and check if you need an international driving permit," wrote a member who made the move to Mechelen, Belgium.
