What should I pack when moving to Bermuda?
We asked people living in Bermuda to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Not a problem here -- can buy anything you need and contrary to most stories that have become 'Bermuda urban legends', artwork, books, etc. are safe from rot, mold, etc., as long as you keep your air con. on when the steamy weather occurs -- July through September. If you don't, be prepared for your clothes/shoes to rapidly grow mildew! You pay a steep duty of between 22.5% and 35% on goods that you bring in. There are lots of leaving island sales each weekend where you can pick up virtually anything you need from electronics to cars, boats, furniture. With the damage that was done to the goods I imported and the difficulties in getting appropriate replacements, I wish I had left most of my furniture in Canada," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bermuda, Bermuda.
"When moving to Bermuda, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Bring comfortable, lightweight clothing that is suitable for the warm, humid climate. Pack a few items of warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Bring a good pair of sunglasses and a hat to protect you from the sun. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit and beachwear for the many beautiful beaches. Bring any necessary medications and toiletries. It is also important to bring any important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and birth certificate. Finally, don't forget to bring your favorite books, music, and movies to help you feel at home," commented one expat who made the move to Bermuda.
