Five Things to Pack for Studying Abroad
Travel adapter - Check your destination to see if that country uses a different type of outlet. This may be necessary as electrical outlets vary across different countries and regions. A travel adapter will enable you to keep your electronic devices charged and ready for use.
Portable charger - Continuing the electronics theme—A portable charger is an essential item while studying abroad, as you may find yourself on the go for long periods without access to an electrical outlet. This will ensure that you stay connected and prepared for any adventure that comes your way.
Language dictionary book or app - If you are studying in a country where English is not the primary language, consider bringing a language dictionary or downloading a translation app that can be used offline. This will help you communicate with locals, and it can come in handy while navigating different places.
Comfortable shoes - Studying abroad may require a lot of exploration, and walking is often the best way to explore a new area! Bring a pair of comfortable shoes that will allow you to walk long distances, explore new cities, and take part in any outdoor activities.
Personal documents - Be sure to bring essential personal documents like your passport, visa, and insurance information. It is a good idea to also have copies of these documents.
