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

"When moving to Madagascar, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a mosquito net and insect repellent to protect yourself from malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Pack a first aid kit with basic medical supplies. Bring a few books or magazines to help pass the time. Bring a few items that remind you of home to help you adjust to the new environment. Finally, make sure to bring a valid passport and any necessary visas," said another expat in Madagascar.
