Austria
What should I pack when moving to Austria?
We asked people living in Austria to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Wish I brought a variety of Ziplock bags and containers. Wish I brought Uncle Dans Ranch Dressing, and also Best Foods Mayo. And my 12 cup Cuisinart coffee maker. I have too long a list. 3 things I should not have brought , I cannot think of even one," said another expat in Graz, Austria.
"Bring clothes suitable for the climate in Austria, including layers for colder months and rain protection for wet weather. Consider packing a passport and other important documents, such as visas and other identification papers. Remember to bring a small bag of essentials such as toiletries, medications and contact lenses, as these may be difficult to find or purchase in Austria. Pack a first-aid kit, a power adapter and an international charger. Finally, bring cash or bank cards to make payments in the local currency," wrote a member who made the move to Austria.
