What should I pack when moving to Chile?
We asked people living in Chile to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Chile, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the warm climate, such as light, breathable fabrics. Bring a few items of warmer clothing for the cooler months. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring. Pack items that will help you adjust to the culture, such as books about Chilean history and culture. Bring items that will help you stay connected to your home country, such as photos and mementos. Don't forget to bring any necessary documents, such as your passport and visa," commented one expat who made the move to Chile.
