Welcome to Costa Rica! I have traveled to all of these areas, and some of the recommendations are on my bucket list (I have specified those in my notes). Check back for updates on the list. 🥰 I am an affiliate, and on some items, I do make a commission.

This is a combination of places that I have personally been to as well as my partner. If the stores are zone specific, I have added a note as to which zone. I have a wide variety of interests, so the specialty store section is a bit eclectic.

I have traveled to 30 out of the 50 states in the United States of America. I finally had my first international trip in 2021 at the age of 40. I actually had to get a passport to where I could travel to Costa Rica. My partner and family had already traveled down, which meant that I was flying down solo. I was in Costa Rica for 2 weeks and absolutely fell in love with the culture, food, and the amazing views. As a photographer, I took a LOT of pictures and videos. Please join me on this amazing journey that led me to consider relocating to Costa Rica.

Any time you travel, whether it be by car or plane, these are some of my top recommendations. I either own these, or know people that have them and they are now on my wish list. 😁 I am an affiliate and do make a commission on sales generated.

I have traveled to several areas in Costa Rica, and wanted to share my recommendations for the most common questions on what to pack. Please know that Costa Rica has a LOT of microclimates. You could be in an area that's 90 degrees, while other areas can get down to 40 degrees. I am an affiliate and do make a commission on sales generated.
