What should I pack when moving to Coronado?
We asked people living in Coronado to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Speak to your moving specialist as to what you can bring in a container, such things as liquids, cleaning supplies, alcohol, etc. are not allowed in a container. Furniture, electric and electronics are fine as long as you can prove that they are not new, clothing, etc. are fine," said another expat in Coronado, Panama.
"When moving to Coronado, it's important to pack items suitable for a tropical climate, so include lightweight and breathable clothing such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. Don't forget swimwear for the beach and pool, as well as a few dressier outfits for dining out or attending social events. Sun protection is crucial, so pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. Rain gear, like a waterproof jacket and umbrella, will come in handy during the rainy season. Bring your essential documents, including your passport, visa, and any other identification or paperwork required for your move. It's also wise to have a basic first aid kit and any prescription medications you need, as well as over-the-counter remedies for common ailments. Consider packing electronics like your smartphone, laptop, and chargers, along with a voltage converter or adapter if necessary. A good quality camera can help you capture your new surroundings. For your new home, you might want to bring some personal items to make it feel cozy, such as photos, small decorations, and perhaps a few kitchen essentials if you enjoy cooking and have specific preferences that might not be easily available locally. Lastly, learning Spanish can be beneficial in Panama, so bring language learning materials or dictionaries to help you communicate more effectively with the locals," wrote a member who made the move to Coronado, Panama.
