"When moving to Haiti, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Bring clothing that is lightweight and breathable, such as cotton and linen, as well as a few warmer items for the cooler evenings. Pack comfortable shoes that are suitable for walking on uneven terrain. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect you from the sun. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary medications, as well as a first aid kit. Don't forget to bring a few items to make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, books, and other personal items," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Haiti.
