ITEMS TO PACK

Here are a few of the things you won’t want to forget to bring along: 

  1. Sunscreen
  2. Insect repellent (30% DEET is best in jungle areas)
  3. A hat – I know, you don’t like what it does to your hair – but a sunburn is worse!
  4. Sandals
  5. Comfortable shoes
  6. Clothes you won’t mind getting dirty in
  7. Medical Supplies – These can be expensive elsewhere, so it is important to bring one’s own. Make sure to include anti-diarrheal, antimalarials and basic over-the-counter aides.
  8. Breathable Clothing – Wear clothing that is not too thick, and that you wouldn’t mind sweating in.
  9. A flexible attitude – you’ll hear that a lot on this trip! Developing countries are an adventure in themselves!
