What should I pack when moving to Cartagena?

"When moving to Cartagena, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the city's tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Don't forget your swimwear, as the city is known for its beautiful beaches. Pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and flip flops for the beach. You might also want to include a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings or air-conditioned places. Remember to bring your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. If you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them with you. Pack all necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair. Don't forget your electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers. An international adapter might also be necessary. Bring important documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you plan on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may not be available in Colombia. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos or small mementos," commented one expat who made the move to Cartagena, Colombia.
