What should I pack when moving to Playa Samara?
We asked people living in Playa Samara to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Playa Samara, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. This includes shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and light dresses. You should also pack a few swimsuits for the beach and water activities. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as well as a pair of water shoes if you plan on participating in water sports. A light rain jacket or poncho is also recommended, as Costa Rica experiences a rainy season. In terms of toiletries, pack travel-sized items to start, but remember that most things can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands or products you prefer, it may be best to bring them with you. Don't forget to pack any necessary medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and a reusable shopping bag, as Costa Rica is very environmentally conscious. For entertainment, consider packing a few books, a camera, and perhaps a portable music player. If you plan on working or studying, don't forget your laptop and any necessary chargers or adapters. Lastly, remember to pack important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or paperwork. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents, just in case," explained one expat living in Playa Samara, Costa Rica.
