Travel essentials for the Work and Travel program
- Make a list of the things you need, as well as one of what you will carry in your hand luggage.
- Documents! It is very important, in all the hustle and bustle around your departure, not to forget important documents such as your passport and work permit, SSN, etc.
- Medicines – it's a good idea to carry the most essential ones in your hand luggage as well.
- A sleep mask and/or a travel pillow will serve you very well on long flights. If you can fall asleep, time passes relatively faster.
- Take something to keep yourself entertained – a magazine, a book, download a movie on your phone, etc.
- If you have a power bank, take it, just in case.
- It's advisable to take face/hand cream and lip balm, because the air on planes dehydrates the skin.
- A toothbrush, a small tube of toothpaste, wet wipes, antibacterial gel – you will most likely feel the need to freshen up.
- If you can wear glasses instead of contact lenses, do so – it's more hygienic.
- Travel in comfortable shoes that are easy to take off when going through security and won't pinch your feet.
- Dress appropriately and carry a jacket in your hand luggage.
- You can take an extra pair of warm socks – it often gets cold on the plane.
- A pen and paper – in case a good idea comes to you out of boredom, or you just want to write down something so you don't forget to do it.
- Drink plenty of water – flights dehydrate the body; this way you will feel better when you land and won't feel so jet-lagged.
