Essential documents

Keep your passport, travel authorization, insurance details, booking confirmation and important contact numbers accessible and securely backed up. Check documentation requirements through official sources.

• Passport and applicable visa documents
• Travel insurance and emergency contact information
• Prescription details if needed

Clothing and everyday gear

Choose comfortable, modest, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear suited to your confirmed activities. A compact day bag, reusable water bottle and practical sun or rain protection are useful in many destinations.

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Sun and rain protection
• Reusable water bottle
• Basic personal hygiene supplies

Program-specific needs

Your local coordinator can advise on any approved equipment, project materials and special requirements. Avoid bringing unsolicited donations or medical supplies without prior agreement, as they may create logistical and safety problems.

Travel light enough to manage multiple transfers if joining the scenic tour.
