"When moving to Geneva, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack warm clothing such as sweaters, coats, and scarves, as well as rain gear, as Geneva experiences cold, wet winters. Also, pack comfortable shoes for walking, as Geneva is a very walkable city. Additionally, pack items that will help you adjust to the culture, such as a Swiss-German dictionary and a guidebook to the city. Finally, don't forget to bring your passport and other important documents," remarked another expat who made the move to Geneva, Switzerland.
