People To People Polo

Money Belt with foreign currency and $20 US, credit/debit cards

Khaki colored pants, shorts, or capris

This should be the backpack you plan to carry around during the day when we are touring/shopping. We will also call it your “daypack”.

➢ Copy of Itinerary (helpful for journaling and knowing what to expect daily)

➢ Wet Ones/ Handiwipes

➢ Travel size roll of toilet paper

➢ Package of Tissues

➢ Address List for Postcards & Phone Numbers with phone card instructions (best glued into journal)

➢ Earplugs (some roommates are snorers!)

➢ Small Photo Album of family, friends, pets, hometown images to share with new friends- delegates & foreign friends will enjoy this!

➢ Friendship Cards to exchange with email, phone, name

This is a tried and true list created by your experienced leaders with the assistance of delegates who have completed a travel experience.

EACH DELEGATE needs to be the one to do the final packing of the suitcase! YOU need to know what is in your bag, where all YOUR stuff is, and how it all fits in the bag (so you can repack it)!

Delegates: practice carrying the bag around the house, up stairs and down stairs, with your backpack on your back! You would be surprised at how heavy it can get.

Suitcase

This bag should be light enough for your child to fully pick up and carry up and down 2 flights of stairs. They will not be using elevators and are not to drag the suitcase up and down stairs.

➢ Light Sweater or Jacket

➢ Shirts (no spaghetti straps or racer back tops permitted)

➢ Shorts (no short shorts & NO baggy athletic shorts –we’re representing America here)

➢ Pants (jeans are not advised- heavier & take much longer to dry)

➢ Socks (May I suggest a pair of wool socks?)

➢ Underwear

➢ Alarm Clock- and you must have practiced setting it and waking up to it!

➢ Water Shoes (I think REAL water shoes are a must)

➢ Tennis Shoes (worn in for lengthy walking!)

➢ Towel- microfiber dries quickest

➢ Belt (pants/shorts stretch after many many days of wear!)

➢ Swimsuit (modest)

➢ Toiletries

o Shampoo/conditioner

o Brush/comb

o Body Soap & Washcloth

o Deodorant

o Powder

o Sunscreen

o Chapstick

o Feminine products

➢ Clothing Detergent (for at least 5 nights of washing!)

➢ Back Up American Money hidden away

➢ Itinerary Copy – MUST have this printed out and in journal

➢ Copy of Passport

➢ Extra batteries, film, memory card

➢ Power Converter (aka Voltage Converter or Electricity Converter)

➢ Power Adapters (for Australia)

➢ Wet Ones or hand sanitizer- soap is not a guarantee at restraunts or in bathrooms!

➢ Toilet Paper (see tip above)

➢ Large and small Ziplocs for organizing new treasures or wet items

➢ Thank You Gifts for guides, delegation manager, drivers, guest speakers

o Texas/ USA Themed Ideas include:

chili mix, spicy seasonings, notepads, lapel pins, Christmas ornaments, tea towels, wine stoppers, t-shirt, ball cap, tie, cd, postcards, hot pads, Card from you, local college memorabilia, American candy or snacks

*** We recommend if you have any bottles or tubes with a flip cap- tape it shut or put in a baggie- air pressure from air plane may cause it to bust open…and make for a messy surprise when we land!

Please remember, less is more! Your child can always buy an extra shirt, toothpaste, shampoo…and they will!

May I recommend Burt’s Bees? – Fantastic and earth friendly too.
