Packing Suggestions

  • Have a packing buddy! If you are able to share toiletries such as shampoo or insect repellent with someone, you will save a lot of room and weight.

  • Don’t bring your best suitcase. Your luggage will be in many places, so bring the duffle bags you don’t mind damaging.

  • Have a day’s worth of supplies in your carry on. While we don’t want anyone’s luggage lost or delayed, we want you to be prepared if it happened.

  • Don’t pack too much! You’ll want to leave room for any souvenirs you may pick up.

  • This list is not all-inclusive, so don’t forget to bring anything that is specific to you, i.e. contacts, phone charger, etc.
