What should I pack when moving to David?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to David, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but also pack a few long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect against mosquitoes. Don't forget a good quality rain jacket, as Panama has a rainy season. Pack your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Bring your prescription medications and a copy of your prescriptions. It's also recommended to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Pack your important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Also, bring copies of these documents and keep them separate from the originals. Don't forget your electronics like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An international power adapter might also be necessary. Pack some comfort items from home, like your favorite snacks, books, or photos, to help with the transition. Lastly, remember to bring enough cash for your first few weeks, as it may take some time to set up a local bank account," said another expat in David, Panama.
