The Art of Packing

  • Don’t rush – schedule plenty of time to think of your needs.
  • Pack a full suitcase – your clothes will be in better condition upon arrival
  • Think about comfort! If you want to pack light, perhaps choose 1-2 color schemes.
  • Bring two pairs of black pants. You can dress them up, dress them down, they’re comfy and work with all colors!
  • Bring 2 pairs of very comfortable, already-broken-in walking shoes.
  • Keep a list of items you’ve packed to keep on tour
  • Last items to pack should be the first items you’ll need
  • Sentimental items (pictures, etc) help to personalize a hotel room
  • An international Checklist would include must-haves like power cord adapters and voltage converters. It won’t have phone cards, as you should buy those when you arrive in the destination. Many US phone cards do not work overseas.
  • A miscellaneous checklist might include extra batteries, binoculars, film, business cards, books, travel journal, address book so you can send out your postcards and any medication you need.
  • Bring a photocopy of your passport and pack it somewhere safe.
