Several weeks ago, I took my very first trip to Labuan Bajo, Komodo Island.

So here’s the background story: I planned to have a diving trip with my friends. Since I haven’t had my diving license yet, I took a diving class one month before. But because of one thing, I ended up unavailable to take the diving exam. That’s why even though this was supposed to be a diving trip, I didn’t end up diving at all.

And yet, today I’d like to share my packing ideas to Labuan Bajo (minus the diving part), especially for all fashion girls out there!

SUN HAT

You will definitely need a wide-brim hat to protect you from the rays. I usually pack straw hats (my favorite kind) to match the tropical vibe.

OFF SHOULDER TOPS

If you have been an avid reader of my blog for a while, you’ll know that this is one thing I couldn’t leave out.

SUNGLASSES

…and this one is also the one item I couldn’t leave out.

LIGHT SCARF

The trip to Komodo Island involves being on a boat most of the time – and the heat can sometimes be unbearable. Light scarf is one way to protect your skin and show off some style at the same time.

POUCH OR SMALL BAGS

Whenever I travel to tropical island, I always prepare a sling pouch or bag that can fit my phone and small wallet easily.

BIKINI TOP OR SWIMSUITS

Bikini tops or swimsuits are usually the go-to tops in tropical getaways. It allows you to be super comfortable all day.

DRY SHAMPOO

If you weren’t about to dive just like me, dry shampoo is definitely a must-have item. It keeps your hair texture beautiful and you can go days without washing your hair.
