What should I pack when moving to New Plymouth?
We asked people living in New Plymouth to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to New Plymouth, you should pack clothing suitable for a temperate oceanic climate, which means a mix of warm clothing for cooler months and lighter clothing for the summer. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as New Plymouth gets a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year. Pack your essential documents such as passport, visa documents, driver's license, medical records, and educational certificates. If you're planning to drive, bring your international driving permit. Bring your electronic devices like your laptop, smartphone, and their chargers. If your devices don't have a New Zealand plug, you'll need an adapter. Pack any prescription medications you take regularly, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you're moving for work, pack any specific work-related items you might need, such as a work uniform or specific tools. Pack personal items that make you feel at home, like photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Remember to pack toiletries, although these can also be purchased once you arrive. If you have room, consider packing some non-perishable food items from your home country, especially if they might be hard to find in New Zealand. Lastly, don't forget to pack your adventurous spirit and readiness to explore the beautiful landscapes and culture New Plymouth has to offer," remarked another expat who made the move to New Plymouth, New Zealand.
