What should I pack when moving to Afghanistan?
We asked people living in Afghanistan to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Afghanistan, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture of the country. Pack lightweight and breathable clothing that can handle the hot, dry weather. Bring a variety of clothing in order to be appropriate for all seasons of the year, as temperatures can drop drastically at night in the winter. If you wear glasses or contacts, pack an extra set of lenses - and make sure to bring sunscreen and sunglasses for protection from the intense sunlight. Useful items to bring include a flashlight, a quality first aid kit, and extra batteries. In addition to clothing and medical items, pack some books, games, or puzzles to help pass the time. A dictionary or phrasebook of the local language, Dari or Pashto, will also help language learners. Documents such as your passport and visas should be kept in a secure, easily-accessible place. Lastly, bring something that reminds you of home or your home country, such as a flag or a memento," said a member in Afghanistan.
