What should I pack when moving to Mandeville?
We asked people living in Mandeville to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Mandeville, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack a rain jacket or umbrella as Jamaica often experiences sudden rain showers. Comfortable walking shoes and sandals are essential for exploring the local area. Pack enough prescription medication to last for your initial period, as well as a basic first aid kit. Include insect repellent and sunscreen to protect against the sun and mosquitoes. Bring your important documents such as passport, driver's license, and medical records. If you plan on working or studying, don't forget any necessary work permits or student visas. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics as the plug type in Jamaica may be different from your home country. If you're a fan of specific brands or products, consider packing them as they may not be available in Jamaica. This could include personal care items, favorite snacks, or specific brands of clothing. Lastly, bring some items from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar. This could be photos, a favorite blanket, or a cherished book," remarked another expat who made the move to Mandeville, Jamaica.
