What you really need to pack for your tropical (surf) trip!

August 31, 2018 1 min read

Going from living in the Big Apple of New York City and working a corporate job to chasing sunsets + dancing with waves in Costa Rica, my daily wardrobe has gone from high heels and pencil skirts to flip-flops and bikinis. Living in a hot, tropical climate almost year round requires gear that is going to last because the climate here is unforgiving AND there is no Amazon Prime to easily get new gear!
