What should I Bring?
Checklist
Passport – get a passport cover or put your passport in a zipper bag to prevent damage;
Driver’s license – especially if you are planning to drive;
Another form of ID – such as a government-issued national ID or similar;
Student card – if you are a student you can get many discounts and deals. Try getting the
International Student Identity Card (ISIC) which is recognized in around 130 countries;
Debit and credit cards – make sure you have these with you, but also bring some cash. It is
better to use cash because you will save on the international fees that banks will charge you. Convert
the cash to Euros as that is the official currency of Germany;
Flight tickets and accommodation confirmations – just in case you are asked to show them
when you check in.
In my luggage I would put everything I think I can use in my trip. For example, all types of
clothes, a pillow, my favorite blanket, make-up, parfume, and all the stuff I need. I can't leave my
home without a book, my headphones, my charger and my Ipod. A must-have thing for a trip is a
map, you never know when you need guidance in a foreign country. A bottle of water is always in my
backpack, beacuse I get dehydrated very easily. You can put anything you think will help you and give
you confort.
