What should I pack when moving to Playa Potrero?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Playa Potrero to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Playa Potrero, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a few swimsuits for the beach and pool, as well as a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes or sandals suitable for the beach and exploring the local area. A light rain jacket or poncho is also recommended, as Costa Rica experiences a rainy season. In terms of toiletries, pack travel-sized essentials but remember that most items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it may be best to bring them with you. Don't forget to pack your passport, driver's license, and any other necessary identification. Also, bring copies of important documents like your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance information. Pack any prescription medications you take regularly, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a supply of over-the-counter medications like pain relievers and stomach soothers, as they may be more expensive in Costa Rica. If you plan on working or studying, remember to pack your laptop, charger, and any other necessary electronics. However, keep in mind that Costa Rica uses a different type of plug, so you may need an adapter. Lastly, pack items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, and your favorite books," said another expat in Playa Potrero, Costa Rica.
