What should I pack when moving to Dangriga?

We asked people living in Dangriga to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Dangriga, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. A rain jacket or umbrella is also essential as Belize experiences a rainy season. Don't forget to pack swimwear and beachwear, as Dangriga is located on the coast. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town and hiking boots if you plan on visiting the nearby national parks. Include a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. In terms of toiletries, pack enough to last you until you can find a local store. This includes items like toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and any other personal hygiene items you use daily. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your first few months. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary immigration paperwork. Also, bring a copy of your medical records and insurance information. Don't forget your electronics, like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An adapter may be necessary as Belize uses 110-volt outlets. Lastly, pack some comfort items from home, like photos or favorite snacks, to help you settle into your new home," explained one expat living in Dangriga, Belize.
