What should I pack when moving to Atenas?
We asked people living in Atenas to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Atenas, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the warm, tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but also pack a few long-sleeved shirts and pants for cooler evenings or for protection against mosquitoes. A rain jacket or umbrella is essential as Costa Rica experiences a rainy season. Don't forget your swimsuit for the beautiful beaches and hot springs, and a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring the natural beauty of the area. Pack all necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it may be best to bring them with you. Bring any prescription medications with a copy of your prescription, as well as a basic first aid kit. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or hard-to-find ingredients. Pack your important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Don't forget your electronics like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An adapter may be necessary as Costa Rica uses a different plug type. Lastly, consider packing items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," explained one expat living in Atenas, Costa Rica.
