Time to Pack! Part 1
I find it very difficult to make a packing list because I have absolutely no idea where I will be working during my year abroad or what I will be doing. Therefore, this list is purely for inspiration, to perhaps help answer some of the questions you may have.
What items should I take with me.
1. Luggage
Large suitcase/backpack with large capacity
60-liter backpack for hiking
30-liter backpack for work
Fanny pack
Rain cover for the large backpack
2. Important documents & essential items
Flight and train tickets
Passport (valid)
Visa confirmation + payment receipts
Proof of financial means for entry
Credit card
International health insurance
ID card
Passport photos
Printout of booking confirmations
Address of first accommodation
Emergency contacts & addresses of insurance companies, banks
Vaccination card
Hearing aids
Resume (on paper + digital)
Sturdy folders for certificates/applications
Optional: Diary, travel guide, dictionary app
