What should I pack when moving to Puerto Galera?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Puerto Galera, 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 amount of swimwear as the area is known for its beautiful beaches. A light jacket or sweater is also recommended for cooler evenings. Pack a sturdy pair of sandals suitable for walking on the beach and a pair of comfortable shoes for exploring the town. Sun protection is crucial, so pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high SPF sunscreen. In terms of toiletries, it's advisable to bring mosquito repellent and after-sun care, such as aloe vera gel. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have enough to last for your stay, as certain medications may not be readily available. Bring along a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and help reduce plastic waste. Also, pack a good quality camera or smartphone to capture the stunning scenery. If you plan on participating in water sports, consider packing your own snorkeling or diving gear. However, these can also be rented locally. Lastly, pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. It's also a good idea to have photocopies of these documents in case of loss or theft," explained one expat living in Puerto Galera, Philippines.
