Pack for your journey like a pro with these tips!

  • Plan Ahead: Check weather, trip length, and activities on your specific program. Packing lists are meant to be guides and do not guarantee the weather forecast.
  • Pack Light: Use a carry-on size bag for easier travel, especially on programs with trains or multiple destinations. North America road trips require a 60L or smaller carry-on-sized bag. Laundry is available on trips over a week, so pack for one week.
  • Day Bag: Bring a small backpack or tote for daily essentials (sunscreen, water, camera, phone, wallet).
  • Appropriate Clothing: Pack culturally appropriate, modest clothing with adequate coverage. Check destination-specific details.
  • Multiple Trips: If you’re enrolled in multiple programs, you’ll have the opportunity to do laundry between them. Check both packing lists for any trip-specific items, but remember that essential items and clothing may overlap.
  • Luggage: Choose a wheeled bag or backpack based on preference, but ensure it’s easy to carry. North America road trips require a 60L or less carry-on. See this blog for help: Wheels or Straps?
