"When moving to Somalia, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Bring clothing that is lightweight and breathable, such as cotton and linen, as well as a few warmer items for the cooler months. Be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a first aid kit and any necessary medications. Bring a few items to help you adjust to the culture, such as books about Somali culture and language. Additionally, bring a few items to help you stay connected to your home country, such as a laptop, phone, and charger," said another expat in Somalia.
