"When moving to Bocas del Toro, it is important to pack items that will help you stay comfortable in the tropical climate. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a pair of sandals or flip-flops for the beach, as well as a pair of sneakers or other closed-toe shoes for exploring the town.

"I brought everything I wanted. Especially specialty items that are harder to get here since I am a cook. My husband brought his tools. I brought too many clothes. I am glad I did not bring my furniture. We live in shorts and flip flops and little dresses. We shipped everything down in a shared container for a very reasonable price," explained one expat living in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
