What should I pack when moving to Belmopan?
We asked people living in Belmopan to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Belmopan, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but also pack a few long-sleeved shirts and pants for protection against mosquitoes. A rain jacket or umbrella is essential as Belize experiences a rainy season. Don't forget your swimsuit, as Belize has beautiful beaches and water activities are popular. Pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect against the strong sun. Bring any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any specific toiletries you can't live without, as they may be hard to find or more expensive in Belize. If you plan on hiking or exploring the jungle, pack sturdy shoes and possibly some hiking gear. Remember to bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, pack a good quality camera or smartphone to capture the beautiful scenery and memories of your new home," explained one expat living in Belmopan, Belize.
