What should I pack when moving to Malapascua?
We asked people living in Malapascua to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Malapascua, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. A swimsuit is essential as the island is known for its beautiful beaches and diving spots. Pack a sturdy pair of sandals suitable for walking on the beach and a pair of comfortable shoes if you plan on doing any hiking or exploring. A light rain jacket or umbrella would be useful as the Philippines experiences a rainy season. In terms of toiletries, pack travel-sized essentials but remember that most things can be bought locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be best to bring them with you. Don't forget to pack your necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also recommended to bring insect repellent due to the tropical climate. Bring all necessary travel documents including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you plan on diving, bring your certification card and logbook. You might also want to pack your own snorkeling or diving gear, although these can be rented on the island. Lastly, pack a good book or two, a camera to capture the beautiful scenery, and any other personal entertainment items you might need," commented one expat who made the move to Malapascua, Philippines.
