Faro, Portugal
What should I pack when moving to Faro?
We asked people living in Faro to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Faro, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer, layered clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack a swimsuit and beach towel if you plan on enjoying the beautiful beaches. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring the city and surrounding areas. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have enough to last until you can arrange a new prescription in Portugal. Also, pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic cream, and any over-the-counter medication you regularly use. Remember to bring all necessary documents, such as your passport, visa paperwork, driver's license, and any other identification. It's also a good idea to have digital and physical copies of these documents. Pack any electronics you use daily, like your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. An adapter plug for European sockets will be necessary. If you're moving for work or study, don't forget any necessary materials like textbooks or work documents. Lastly, consider packing a few personal items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books," commented one expat who made the move to Faro, Portugal.
