What should I pack when moving to Whangarei?

We asked people living in Whangarei to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Whangarei, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a temperate climate, including both warm and cool weather attire. This should include lightweight clothing for the summer months, as well as heavier items such as sweaters and jackets for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack rain gear, as Whangarei can experience rainfall throughout the year. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as the city and surrounding areas offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. If you plan on participating in water sports or beach activities, be sure to pack swimwear and beach towels. Pack all necessary toiletries, prescription medications, and any preferred over-the-counter medicines, as these may be more expensive to purchase in New Zealand. If you're moving for work or study, don't forget to pack necessary documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any relevant educational or professional certificates. Electronics like your laptop, phone, and chargers should also be included in your packing list. Remember that New Zealand uses a different type of plug, so you may need to bring a power adapter. Lastly, consider packing a few personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes," explained one expat living in Whangarei, New Zealand.
