What should I pack when moving to Dumaguete City?
We asked people living in Dumaguete City to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Dumaguete City, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and light dresses. Don't forget to pack a few formal outfits for special occasions or meetings. Since it can rain quite often, especially during the rainy season, it would be wise to pack a lightweight, waterproof jacket or a compact umbrella. Also, consider packing waterproof shoes or sandals. Sun protection is essential in Dumaguete City, so pack a good quality sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. If you plan on visiting the beach, which is quite popular in Dumaguete City, pack your swimsuit, beach towel, and snorkeling gear if you have it. For your toiletries, pack travel-sized essentials like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and soap. However, these can also be easily purchased there. Don't forget to pack your necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. Pack your important documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification you might need. If you're planning on working or studying, pack your laptop, charger, and any other necessary electronics. Lastly, pack a reusable water bottle, as staying hydrated is important in the tropical climate," commented one expat who made the move to Dumaguete City, Philippines.
