What should I pack when moving to Nosara?
We asked people living in Nosara to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Nosara, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to bring a rain jacket or umbrella, as the rainy season can be quite heavy. Comfortable walking shoes and sandals are essential, as you'll likely spend a lot of time outdoors exploring the beautiful surroundings. Pack plenty of sun protection, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat, as the sun can be quite strong. You should also bring insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes and other insects. If you plan on surfing or participating in other water sports, consider packing your own equipment, although you can also rent or buy equipment locally. Bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. While Costa Rica has excellent healthcare, it's always a good idea to have basic supplies on hand. Don't forget to pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. Lastly, consider packing a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, or download a language app on your phone, as not everyone in Nosara may speak English," remarked another expat who made the move to Nosara, Costa Rica.
