Hello friends!
You have now less than a month left before you leave on your trip to Slovakia. Here is a short update on what to bring with you.
The temperature will be between 60-90 degrees most of the time. Pack for rain, because it will and can be cool in the evenings. Shorts and casual attire are fine for most activities. Bring a set of work clothes for painting or clean up type of work. For church services please bring khakis for guys and a collared shirt and nice pants or skirts for the women. NO SHORTS TO CHURCH. Pack a pair of comfortable shoes that you can walk in all day. We will be moving on foot quite a bit.
You may want to bring a towel. The ones there are tiny. Also, make sure you bring some flip-flops that you can shower in. There will be no laundry service. You will need an electric converter for plug in devices i.e. hair dryers, curling irons, cameras, etc. However, it might be easier just to buy one over there and not deal with the power differences. All cameras should be OK, since they have built in converters.
Maybe some of you want to bring spending money. We don't recommend bringing more than $300 since all your food and lodging is paid for. If you want to buy some souvenirs or candy, $100 should be enough. We won't have a lot of time for shopping. Keep your money in a safe place. You have many choices: the wallets that hang around your neck, other wallets wrap around your waist... It is up to you! Just make sure you don't loose it.
Bring a small back pack with you that you can carry around for all the things you might need during the day. If you need any medication, make sure you bring it with. Some people might struggle with hey fever so you might want to bring something for that.
If you have any more questions, make sure you contact us! We are looking forward to our cross-cultural experience with you on board!!!
