Preparing for an outreach to Romania
*This document is for mission teams of any size and individual travelers. Some information may not apply to every visitor but please read everything*
Sample packing list for romania
- Passport and plane ticket
- Bible/journal
- Small flashlight with batteries/there can be a lot of walking in the dark
- Personal toiletries
- Towel and washcloth (depending on how large your team is)
- Chapstick and lotion (your skin gets drier if it is cold)
- Long underwear (if visiting during the cold months)
- One long skirt for women /dress pants for men
- One pair of work pants or pants that could get dirty
- One pair of tennis shoes/walking shoes
- One pair of shoes that you can wear in the MUD if visiting in spring or late fall!
- Warm winter jacket, scarves, mittens, hats, etc. (Winter is Nov 1st-April 1st)
- Some kind of carrier for your money and passport (Frontpack/Moneybelt)
- We do not suggest bringing expensive jewelry (outside of wedding rings)
- It is a good idea for one or two of your team members to apply for and bring an international driver license in case there is need for an extra driver
A few helpful suggestions:
- Pack for at least half the amount of time you will be in Romania. (Example:
10-day trip/5 days of clothing)
- Be prepared to re-wear jeans
- Bring enough undergarments for the duration of the whole trip
- Laundry: There are options for doing laundry in Calarasi, but it is best to be prepared as if you could NOT do laundry.
*We trust that the info we have provided for you will help prepare you and/or
your team towards having an unforgettable and impacting experience in Romania
