What should I pack when moving to Lake Garda?
We asked people living in Lake Garda to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Lake Garda, you should pack clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight and breathable fabrics for the warm months and layers for cooler evenings. Don't forget a swimsuit for enjoying the lake, as well as comfortable walking shoes for exploring the towns and countryside. Bring any essential medications and a small first aid kit, as well as copies of your prescriptions and medical records in case you need to visit a local doctor. It's also a good idea to pack a travel adapter for your electronic devices, as Italy uses a different plug type than many other countries. Make sure to have important documents such as your passport, visa, and any necessary permits, as well as copies of these documents in case of loss or theft. You may also want to bring a phrasebook or language learning app to help you communicate with locals and navigate your new surroundings. Pack a camera or smartphone to capture memories of your time in Lake Garda, and consider bringing a journal or notebook to document your experiences. Finally, don't forget any personal items that will help make your new home feel more comfortable, such as favorite books, photos, or small mementos from home," said another expat in Lake Garda, Italy.
