What to Pack for your Trip Abroad Packing for your trip seems so easy - place some clothes, shoes, and your laptop in a big bag and off you go. But there is more to think about than packing for a 2 week vacation, so there are a few things to keep in mind. We've got some tips and things to remember when you start filling that suitcase.
* Your passport should always be at the top of your list. Be sure to being at least 1, preferably 2 or more, copies of your passport photo page just in case your passport is lost or stolen. * Medical information is also critical. In a worst case scenario, it's very important to have information about your immunizations, pres- criptions you're taking, and your health insur- ance information. If you know you're going to run out of medication sometime during your trip, it's best to acquire extra before you leave. * If you wear glasses or contacts, it's a good idea to bring backups just in case. If you wear contacts, that means extra contacts, and backup glasses. If you wear glasses, bring backup glasses, or at the very least, your prescription in the event that you have to buy some. * Most countries will have soap, bodywash, shampoo, contact solution, and the like, so don't try to pack 3 months worth fearing that you can't find them overseas. Your bags and your back will thank you while going through the airport. * You are going abroad to study, so don't forget your study essentials. Your laptop will come in handy. There are Staples equivalents overseas so don't go to heavy on the pens and paper. * Bring a few extra passport photos. They come in handy for IDs or if you need to apply for a visa to visit a neighboring country. * You know your wardrobe better than I do, so pack clothes sensibly. Don't forget to pack some adventure gear either. Sometimes a sturdy pair of hiking boots will come in handy.
