Experience is full of details, and being attentive to everyone is important to enjoy the trip
Getting to know other countries and living new experiences are dreams of most young people. However, in addition to the happiness of the moment, the trip is also made up of several important details that need attention for you to enjoy the exchange without worrying. Normally, students focus on obtaining a visa, buying a ticket, booking accommodation and forgetting one of the main elements: the composition of the suitcase.
“The organization of the suitcase, on several occasions, is left to the last minute, causing the inclusion of unnecessary objects or the forgetting of something important. The experience is made up of many details, so it is important to pay attention to all of them. The choice of each object that will integrate the suitcase varies according to the country of destination, the climate and the young person’s needs. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the amount of weight of the luggage, which can vary for each airline”, explains Alexandre Argenta, president of Belta (Association of Exchange Agencies of Brazil).
With that in mind, Alexandre Argenta listed 7 things that students cannot forget to put in their exchange bag. Look!

1. Plug adapter
It’s always nice to have one of these. Each country uses a plug style and it may be different from theBrazil. The adapter will help you not to have any frustration when charging your cell phone and other electronic objects.
two. Clothes according to the local climate
Before sorting out clothes, shoes and accessories, it’s always good to check the weather so that the clothes suit the occasions and places you’ll be going. It is also recommended not to carry too many pieces in the suitcase, as, upon returning from the trip, the exchange student will bring new objects, clothes or souvenirs to friends and family.
3. Medicines
For those who feel sick and/or dizzy when flying, it is advisable to carry a small bag of medicine with you. The tip also serves those people who need to use controlled medicines for blood pressure and diabetes, for example. In this case, it is good to carry a medical certificate stating the need to use the medicine in order not to be barred. They existcountries like the US, in which the consumption of dipyrone is not allowed. In Argentina, any type of antiallergic is only sold with a prescription, unlike Brazil.
4. gifts
If you are going to stay with a family or in a republic, it is nice to take a souvenir here from Brazil for the family/residents of the place. It could be something from your region that is unique to the country, such as sweets (paçoca, pé de moleque, cocada) and Havaianas (the brand is extremely valued abroad).
5. souvenirs from home
Longing is a feeling you can’t avoid. For this reason, it is recommended to take a picture frame or an object (preferably a small one) that will quench the nostalgia of family.
6. notebook or tablet
The laptop or tablet is always an ally to keep with you for work, studies or missing family and friends.
7. Cash
Despite the practicality of using the card, it is interesting to takecash in kind in case of unforeseen circumstances.
