What should I pack when moving to Dumaguete?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Dumaguete to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Dumaguete, Philippines, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes and sandals for the beach. Swimwear is essential if you plan on enjoying the beautiful beaches and water activities. Also, consider packing a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunblock to protect yourself from the sun. Bring along any prescription medications you may need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any necessary vaccinations for tropical diseases. If you plan on working or studying, pack your laptop, electronics, and any necessary work materials. Don't forget to bring a power adapter for your electronics, as the Philippines uses a different plug type than many other countries. Pack personal hygiene items, although most of these can be bought locally. If you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Lastly, bring copies of important documents such as your passport, visa, and any other identification. It's also recommended to have both digital and physical copies of these documents," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dumaguete , Philippines.
