My Top Ten Tips

1. Bring a travel backpack, I used mine every weekend instead of a carry on
   

2. Get an international phone plan or new SIM card
   

3. Don’t bring USD, you’re not going to use it
   

4. For the colder months, pack clothing items you can layer with

5. Keep important belongings in a cross-body bag or purse

6. Bring comfortable shoes you can walk a lot in
   

7. Have universal adapters for the outlets
   

8. Bring your own medicines/ feminine products, you cannot get the same stuff in Europe
   

9. When traveling to your study abroad country, pack a carry on with all your important/essential items and a change of clothes in case your checked bag gets lost or delayed
   

10. Enjoy your study abroad as much as possible, take a lot of pictures and don’t forget to try the unique foods from different places!
