Transcripts
for all of you international students or
prospective international students now
going to the country of your choice for
the first time we're going to be talking
about what are the things that you
should be packing with you it's very
important that you understand that
because
if you miss out on certain things right
a lot of times what can happen is you
end up bearing huge expenses just
because you forgot so i'm trying to make
this list as exhaustive as possible some
things may be irrelevant for you they
may be relevant for someone else
as far as you can understand that right
we're good and we're good to go
let's actually get started with the
packing list first things first of
course take a look at the bags the bags
are the most important part because
that's what you are going to put your
stuff into right so my recommendation
make sure that you take a look at the
recommended dimensions that your flight
of course whichever fight you're going
into right has recommended generally
the ones that you're going to come
across the best best ones i would say
i'll just name the brands over here take
a look at american tourister i
personally use american toy store a lot
and their bags have helped me a lot but
of course on the screen you will find
many more alternatives all right once
you have your bags in place what are the
major major important things that you
want to add the first thing i would say
if you're not doing well you can't
really do anything right
have your medicines in order and the
very basics after covet are make sure
that you have hand sanitizers and plenty
of mass in your bag they don't take up a
lot of space and of course these things
are things that you will need on a daily
basis almost
during times of coverage of course and
you know covet has not gone completely
so you still need them with you you can
also keep things like face shields you
can keep things like multivitamins
depending on whether you are someone who
uses them right but only put things that
you use on a daily basis do not add
things such as multivitamins if you
don't really use them if you don't use
them don't add them because that would
basically mean that you're carrying
around waste with you that you're
probably not going to be using any time
to and of course either have a medical
kit you know or a met or a pouch
basically where you can put all of your
medicines right coming to the medicines
i want to give you a very small brief as
to what you should be carrying with you
right just so you don't forget so you
know medicines for fever cold and you
know body pain you know painkillers
aspirin things like that you should
always have in your back so you could
have something like dolo you could have
something like crocin some sort of
paracetamol then of course uh just in
case you feel nauseous you should have
something to avoid vomit right so you
could look at avo mean you can look at
other things of course depends on what
you prefer over here of course if you're
someone whose skin is very sensitive and
you don't really believe you can adapt
to newer places or temperatures make
sure that you have things that help you
get rid of that you know that skin
infection that you may develop so have
things like that of course medicine for
the common cold stomach ache or even the
nasal spray these things should
certainly certainly be a part of your
baggage or basically medicines which you
take during diarrhea whichever basically
things that you come across or you know
you know that okay i am actually very
prone to getting this disease or this
sickness and this happens to me a lot
make sure that you have those things for
the very least and apart from that have
a very basic you know safety kit right
safety again have band-aids in there
have you know things that you would need
on a daily basis so that you don't have
to actually run to the markets just to
get these things because you're going to
a new country of course first aid kit is
probably the first thing that should
come to your mind let's talk about the
electronics very important stuff guys
remember do not buy your laptops do not
buy your iphones do not buy or any
gadgets i would say that are going to
take up a lot of space if you know that
okay i don't have a very good laptop and
i would like to buy one and i can't
carry the existing one don't worry about
it go ahead buy it from the country
you're going to if you're going to the
us canada germany for the most part you
will find good laptops in these
countries at very good prices
so don't actually go overboard buying
stuff from your own country at this
moment instead go ahead buy it from
there the good part about that is of
course you know you don't carry it that
means that your bag is free to carry
more stuff that means you have basically
created space right
secondly you get warranty from that
exact country where you're going into it
you're gonna be spending at least the
next two years right so you get warranty
over there and hence you can actually
utilize it over there which is very very
important but of course some things that
you absolutely must carry with you are
things like power banks all right which
you may need during your flights you may
have like a 30-hour flight for instance
you know but i'm not saying a long one
one long flight but of course you know
you may have it in parts you may have
layovers in between etc etc so make sure
that you have power banks i also like to
add things like trimmer you know just in
case because you don't want to go to
a different country and buy a trimmer
first thing over there just in case you
have one you know carry it otherwise of
course you can always buy it over there
things like chargers cables and there's
there's basically international adapters
of course that you must carry you know
adapters like this which basically can
work in almost any country that you go
to these are generally called universal
adapters and i would say that while they
are not the best ones out there you
should definitely pack at least two of
these in your bag because you never know
which airport which country right you're
going to right and just in case you
haven't booked your flights this is
still a good option because i actually
had a layover let's say in china and i
was actually able to use this universal
after over there when i was having
layover of course make sure to carry
your earphones make sure that you're
using your earpods whatever you have
already with you right make sure that
you're carrying those because of course
earphones are very important during
fights i do understand that in case you
want some storage and you already have
some over here in your country let's say
hard drive etc etc whatever you have you
can basically pack that as well just
don't forget these things i'm pointing
them out but if you don't have these and
you would like to buy these buy them
from the country you're going to let's
talk about food and spices very
important a lot of people get confused
with these things what can we carry what
can we not carry see as long as whatever
you're carrying is not liquid that's
good enough you can carry a lot of
things that are not liquid in terms of
food in terms of you know even by the
way those those packed dolls right for
all of those indians out there who like
to have those dolls and you know a lot
of companies make them right ready made
packed and all you have to do is you
basically have to eat them and you can
eat you can carry those as well by the
way and i've actually gotten them
through to many countries uh even the us
which is basically known for one of the
most strict checking you know that
happens even after you get down at the
airport they still check you a lot they
check your bags again and again right so
that's completely fine don't worry about
it you can have masalas you can have
maggi you can have all sorts of dry
snacks my personal favorite is to carry
some protein bars because a lot of times
what happens is you're not in a position
to
basically spend money but you know or or
you really just need some quick food
maybe you don't have the currency in the
country where you're stopping for a bit
right etc etc and over there things like
protein bars they can help you a lot so
masalas whatever kind of masalas you
like if you do cook by the way a lot of
people i know they don't cook personally
i don't cook a lot that's fine don't
worry about it but if you do cook and
you like your masalas carry your masalas
with you that's completely okay you do
not need to worry about it you can get
them in another country as well but just
in case you know this is sort of like a
thing which you use almost on a daily
basis carry it with you because you
don't want to go ahead and the first
thing you want to do is run out to get
groceries and you want to get this that
have some some sort of you know i would
say backup a little bit of food a little
bit of masalas a little bit of
preparation material with you okay let's
talk kitchenware very important over
here
i personally do like to carry one of
those pots which basically you can just
use on an induction cooker or you could
just use on top of gas right you could
just basically
heat them up in any way you want right
and you can quickly cook your food in
that and i also like to carry one of
those they may not be very very steep or
even if they're steep you can put some
things out inside it but you know i
personally like to carry one of those
parts because essentially what happens
is when you're going to a new country
you may not be able to find the right
utensils etc etc so i like to carry
those as long as they're not too heavy
of course carry a little bit of other
utensils such as maybe just two spoons
two forks right and it's completely okay
to carry folks by the way um you can
even carry knives but of course uh avoid
carrying it in the baggage that you are
taking on the plane of course right so
that's common sense of course add it to
the baggage that is going in and you're
not going to have access to it so what
that means is you're checking baggage
which is which is basically not going to
be tried on with you on the plane you
can add all of these things over there
you could carry maybe one of those
glasses right i personally like to carry
one or two glasses because i am a fan of
protein shakes so a lot of times what i
would like to do is i would like to add
some protein shake
in a glass just you know add some water
and drink it so a lot of times you need
all these things and all of a sudden if
you have to go and shop for these it's a
little bit difficult it's a little bit
inconvenient people can do that
if you have the capacity for it do it
but i personally like to carry some of
these as long as i'm going to a country
to study for the first time and of
course that reminds me if you are into
protein shakes make sure that you have
the protein powder a little bit of it
you don't have to carry the whole box
but you know maybe just a little bit of
it of course when you are carrying some
utensils there is the matter of carrying
some some stuff that can help you clean
those utensils right so you could
potentially take some of that maybe you
could take something like pro liquid and
one of those you know scrubs that can
help you clean your utensils and that's
completely okay you do not need to worry
about that getting stick stuck in
checking etc etc well after your
utensils are sorted let's talk about
some of the most important things that
you guys would probably not forget but
still let me talk about those of course
your undergarments your t-shirts your
shirts your suit of course try to have a
suit in there right your shoes your
socks your you know ties whatever you
like to wear have all of those clothes
in if you like to go to the gym and you
have tank tops you know which i
personally love so add those as well
make sure that you have a jacket for
when it's really cold outside at the
same time make sure that you have some
shorts for times when it's really hot or
when you would just like to you know
wear shorts in your apartment or
something and you just really don't want
something really really heavy yet so all
those things you have to add and you
have to really think about those
depending on who you are what your
personality is the clothing will
certainly be very very different but one
important thing is do not forget your
flip-flops because those are probably
going to get you through the day i would
also add some sweatpants depends on
exactly you know what kind of activities
you carry out what kind of clothing you
like to wear so i'm going to leave this
section to you it depends from person to
person of course accessories again are
the exact same make sure that you have
your belt in there if you like to wear
one your ties your sunglasses you know
it could be anything that you personally
like to wear but yeah one or two things
that are really important over here
would be towels make sure that you have
your towel in there and make sure that
you have things like hand gloves or
mufflers in there for times when it is
really really cold depends on exactly
where you're going but for the most part
i would really like to carry these other
precautions anyway of course that brings
us to personal hygiene it depends now on
what you personally like to carry with
you of course it could be things like
deodorant could be things like brush
toothpaste you know shaving kits etc
depending on whether you're a man or a
woman as you can understand things will
be gravely different over here of course
right personal hygiene is very different
from person to person and of course you
should definitely look into what you
have been using but my only
recommendation for this section is only
add the things that you have been using
for the last couple of years or at least
the last couple of months don't add
things that you think you might need
especially if you don't have space in
your bags because that's probably saying
that you're doing exactly that so avoid
adding things that you don't usually use
or you know you're not going to use for
the most part so
stay clear of them because for the most
part you're just adding crap to your bag
that you're not going to be using and
you're going to be throwing away at the
end of the day of course some things
that are really important are things
like nail cutters which people often
forget of course try to add them and of
course be ready for the place if the
place that you're going to has a lot of
heat and you know you know that sun is
going to be affecting you over there a
lot more than it has been affecting you
in your country you know so things like
some spf would certainly certainly help
of course that's most of the things that
you should be carrying but that does not
mean that that's probably all of course
for instance everyone's different i
would not go anywhere without my camera
i would not go anywhere without my dslr
or at least without my gopro so these
things would certainly need to be
accounted for depending on who you are
but remember there is of course an
instagram post with all of this shown to
you in writing so just in case you
forget any of this and you'd like to
make notes etc etc all that has already
been documented for you on the post the
link is going to be in my description
make sure to check it out and i hope to
see you in the next one i wish you all
the best for your travels and i hope
that you have an amazing journey ahead
of you
