If you can, here’s a basic list of what every exchange student should take no matter where you are going.
In your pocket:
- Wallet with travelers checks, credit card or another form of money
- Some cash in your country’s currency and the host country’s currency is a good idea too
- Password with visa
- Copy of birth certificate
- Something with all of the contact information including your host family, areas rep, exchange program and airline
- Airplane tickets
Carry-on:
- Prescriptions for glasses/contacts and/or medications
- Health insurance card or claim forms
- Change of clothing (incase luggage is lost)
- Entertainment for the flight
- Any other important documents
Luggage:
- At least 2 weeks of basic clothes (socks, undershirts, underwear, bras, etc)
- Host family gifts
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, etc)
- A few clothes that you can mix and match such as jeans, pants and shirts
- Sneakers or everyday shoes
- Dress shoes
- Sweater or similar
- Something that you can wear to formal events
- Accessories
This should cover about everything!
