What should I pack when moving to Bucharest?
We asked people living in Bucharest to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Bucharest it is important to pack warm clothing, since the weather can be quite cold during colder seasons. Having an umbrella and waterproof clothing is also recommended in case of unexpected rain. It is a good idea to take some essential toiletries, medical supplies, and any items you may need for daily life. Additionally, the necessary documents and paperwork such as passport or visa will be needed. Will you be bringing any furniture? Be sure to secure proper transportation for your belongings if need be. Do not forget to pack any electronic adapters needed for charging electronic devices, and ensure that you identify any language/cultural information you may need," remarked another expat who made the move to Bucharest, Romania.
"WISH I HAD BROUGHT: More books in my language (there are none here), computer mouse (spending more time alone made me use my laptop more), ice skates. WISH I HAD LEFT AT HOME: Creams and all those body care products, A dress that I hoped to get into again after miraculously loosing some weight, suit," explained one expat living in Bucharest, Romania.
