Packing bags is a crucial task for everyone, especially if you are a
student going to study abroad. You think of hundreds of things
which you may want to take with you. Baggage allowance is one
of the major factors to come between taking everything you
want. You need to consider the weight can take with you
otherwise you may face trouble on airport or will have to pay
extra money for it.
Every student wants to take everything they can with them as its
their rst time traveling abroad. It’s not just you, but your
parents also overwhelm you with things you should take. You
should keep in mind that most things are easily available in the
foreign country so you can skip taking those along with you. On
the other hand, there are few things that you can avoid taking
with you from saving yourself a burden packing list for studying abroad
Sheets/Linens
Bed sheets or linens, pillow covers, cushion covers, blankets and
everything furnishing. A total no for including them in your
packing list. Save yourself a huge space by not taking furnishing
items along with you abroad. Sheets or linens are found easily
wherever you go. Hostels and apartments with furniture provide
basic furnishing items so you will be good to go.
Food or Snacks
Like sheets and linens, food is available everywhere. You can take
little amount of snacks to munch on your ight but don’t consider packing food bags in your luggage. Even the smallest
bag will occupy a good amount of weight from your only allowed
luggage. You cna nd your preferred food brands in the country
you are going to study, if not, then you willnd its alternative.Either way you will bene.
Shampoo/Soap Hair Dryer, Curling Iron
Basic or everyday use electronics are easily available everywhere.
These electronics are heavy and will add weight to your luggage.
Books
If you need books for your college or university, buy them when
you reach your destination. For easy access or to be bulk-free, buy
ebooks. Ebooks are easy to take wherever you go and don’t add
any weight.
Shoes
Take only one or two pairs of shoes. One pair can be formal and
the other can be an everyday casual shoe. Again, shoes are heavy
even the lightest ones.
Hangers
This is an absolute no thing, believe it or not; hangers are heavy
and you will get them at cheap price in the country you are going
to study. For cheap hangers you can check the OP shops or
charity stores. Supermarkets have cheap hanger range available
all the time.
