HERE ARE SOME GENERAL ITEMS THAT YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE:
  1. Plastic containers such as Tupperware or tins to store your staples. These are generally common items in most countries, but if you have them and shipping room allows take them with you.

  2. tems such as hooks, peg boards, space savers for your cupboards, clothes pins and hangers, a sieve, garlic press peeler, and other kitchen gadgets you’re used to having.

  3. Measuring cups and spoons.

  4. A blender - great for making your own baby food.

  5. A pressure cooker if you’ll be living at a high altitude.

  7. Toiletries: Ensure that you pack all your special toiletries which may be necessary en route and in your first weeks at your new location.

  8. Emergency medical supplies: put together a handy kit of aspirins, bandages, antiseptics. Iinclude remedies for any intestinal disorders, cold medications, disposable thermometers, a water bottle, etc.
