What should I pack when moving to San Carlos?

"When moving to San Carlos, it's important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but also remember to pack a few long-sleeved shirts and pants for protection against mosquitoes. A rain jacket or umbrella is also essential as the region experiences heavy rainfall. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit and beach towel for enjoying the beautiful local beaches. Also, consider packing a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Pack all necessary toiletries, including sunscreen and insect repellent. However, keep in mind that many toiletries can be purchased locally. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Pack your important documents, such as 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 cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Nicaragua. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as English is not widely spoken in San Carlos. Bring a good quality water bottle, as it's important to stay hydrated in the tropical climate. Pack electronics sparingly, as they can be expensive to replace in Nicaragua. Don't forget necessary chargers and adapters. Lastly, consider packing items that remind you of home, such as photos or small mementos, to help with the transition," said a member in San Carlos, Nicaragua.
