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

"When moving to Costa Rica, you should pack sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, and other essentials for dealing with the humid climate. Additionally, it is important to bring comfortable and lightweight clothing, appropriate for the often warm and sunny weather in Costa Rica. It is also smart to pack a first-aid kit with any necessary medications or supplements, and any other items you might need in case of an emergency. Additionally, make sure to bring any necessary converters and adapters, and any important documents required for living in Costa Rica. Finally, don't forget to bring your camera to capture the incredible natural beauty of Costa Rica," remarked another expat who made the move to Costa Rica.

"I always bring to Costa Rica 1; Irish spring soap 2; electronic gadjets 3; Cherries," explained one expat living in San Jose, Costa Rica.
