"When moving to Martinique, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the tropical climate, such as light, breathable fabrics. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also essential for protection from the sun. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a mosquito net and insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes and other insects. It is also important to bring any necessary medications, as well as any important documents. Finally, it is a good idea to bring a few items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as pictures, books, and other personal items," explained one expat living in Martinique.
