Things to pack for a Foreign Trip
This is a list that I had made before I set out to my first International Travel Journey this Summers.
This list is apt for a week - 10 days travel.
I'll soon be updating list with things that one might need when on:
- University Exchange Program
- Summer Intern Abroad (International Internships)
