"I wish I had brought My best friend I wish I had brought more money I wish I had brought better Spanish I only came with what I could carry so I did leave everything pretty much," remarked another expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.
"When moving to Santo Domingo, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the warm, tropical climate. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city. Sunscreen and insect repellent are also essential items. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and any other paperwork required for your move.
