Hi,

As an expat living in Lithuania, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along?

What are the items you can easily find in Lithuania? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive?

Share with us what you would recommend to bring in ones suitcase or container when moving to Lithuania.

Thank you in advance,

Christine

I'd say, if you're a man, make sure to pack a lot of underwear- you can't buy decent underwear in this country. I had to have my mother send me some from America.

Must haves: A warm coat. Good walking shoes (old town Vilnius is beautiful and deserves to be thoroughly walked). Electronics that work on 220V. (electronics like cameras, laptops, etc tend to be expensive here).

If you are coming from the USA, leave behind your TV and anything that runs exclusively on 110v electronics,

Stock-up on yummy junk food you get back home. For example, if you love Reeces Pieces, bring a stash. You won't find it here.
