Things to bring.

I walk on average 5-10 miles per day so I bring a couple pairs of very good walking shoes and a pair of hiking boots. It takes up a ton of room in my suitcases but its worth it

Foot powder or baby powder makes those ten miles more comfortable. Your feet will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Small Flashlight, I have never been to the FSU without the power going off at least once.

Chap Stick on the flights overseas the air in the airplane is incredibly dry. (works on hangnails too)

I-pod / CD player

Gum

Digital camera

Extra change of clothes in your carry on bag. In case your baggage is delayed.

Electric converters and adapters

Some coffee table picture books of your area

Baby wipes

I bring a Swiss army knife in my packed luggage. I have used the little scissors and the screwdriver feature on every single trip at least once.

I have an estaco electronic translator it is incredibly useful. You must be able to spell to use it however so a handheld dictionary is a good back up.

A full size American fluffy bath towel, the ones in the apartments are always small and thread bare

As always bring your sense of humor and adventure

Udachi!!! (good luck).
