Oh, congratulations! You've got your letter of offer and visa approval and you're happy to take the flight now! All that is left is packing, which for many can be a little tiresome! A detailed list of what to pack and what not to make sure you don't miss anything is all you need now!

It is vital to take the correct form of luggage to ensure that your primary equipment is portable, easy to move around, and large enough to carry all your things. Since it takes the weight off your wrist, a four-wheeled stroller bag fits best. Try using a wheeled one for hands-free mobility if you're going for a backpack.

Plan your trip by gathering all the necessary documents in place and making all the arrangements you will need on the day of your arrival. Using the following checklist for reference:

• Load copies to cloud storage of papers, images, and some songs. 
• In a Google folder, save all significant contact details and records. 
• Check the weight limits, entertainment, and food facilities for your flight.
• Pre-arrange for both home and host country pick-ups and drops at your airport. 
• In order to reach your family and friends using open Wi-Fi, download a messenger or online calling app. 
• To make your luggage recognizable, add something.

Let's start with your carrying bag, something fast and simple. 

• Keep a passport, visa, and letter of enrollment handy. 
• Keep that safe in your carrying bag until you get your boarding pass. 
• Retain any of the host country's currency. 
• Getting a notebook and pen ready for interactions to be registered is a smart idea. 
• Hold your medications with a prescription, if any.
• Make sure you have your laptop, charger, and other devices in your handbag, such as cameras and batteries. 
• One or two pairs of clothing, if your baggage has been delayed. 
• For the trip, a book or e-reader. Hold your headphones even. 
• Face wipes, gum, hand sanitizer, pillow for travel and itinerary. 
• Hold your glasses and sunglasses reading. 
• Cap and mittens, if you're going to a colder country.

• A copy of all of your relevant paperwork. 
• Toiletries, such as contact lenses, solutions, and/or feminine products. 
• Appropriate clothes according to the host country's temperature. 
• A first-aid handy. 
• Host family souvenirs, if you're living with one of them. 
• Sun/Rain Umbrella.
• Running shoes, flip flops, and college wear. 
• For emergencies, extra money. 
• A dictionary of a language. 
• Any books that may be required for your studies.

Note, certain things are better left at home, so make sure you don't pack any of the following to prevent wasting your money or customs issues.

• Spices or goods from plants. 
• You can purchase this stationery locally. 
• Lots of capital. Bring in exactly what you would need, plus some cash for emergencies. 
• Goods or films pirated. 
• Anything that might be called a weapon.

In order to avoid any form of conflict at the airport, check the list of prohibited and restricted products on your airline's official website.
