"When moving to Davao, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is suitable for the tropical climate. Bring a good pair of walking shoes, as well as a hat and sunglasses to protect you from the sun. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary medications, as well as a first aid kit. Don't forget to bring a few items to make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, books, and other personal items. Finally, make sure to bring any important documents, such as your passport and visa," remarked another expat who made the move to Davao, Philippines.
