What should I pack when moving to Nijmegen?
We asked people living in Nijmegen to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Firstly, pack your essential documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, medical records, and insurance documents. Don't forget to bring your bank cards and some cash for immediate expenses. Pack enough clothes for all seasons as the weather in Nijmegen can be quite varied. Include warm clothing for the winter months, lighter clothes for the summer, and waterproof items for the rainy days. Bring your electronic devices such as your laptop, phone, and chargers. If your devices don't have European plugs, you'll need to pack adapters. Pack any prescription medications you take regularly, along with a copy of your prescription. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and your prescription. Pack toiletries that you use daily, but remember that you can also buy these items once you arrive. Bring a few personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some basic kitchen utensils until you can purchase more. Pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers. If you're moving for study, remember to pack your necessary school supplies like notebooks, pens, and textbooks. Lastly, consider packing a Dutch phrasebook or dictionary to help you navigate the language," said another expat in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
