Packing List for Moving Abroad: Africa

Before I start this post, I want to preface by saying there are MANY packing list, blog posts, and Youtube videos on how to pack for a year or more abroad. However, as I tried to find one for my own move, I found it difficult because most people who go to teach or move abroad find themselves in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Europe, or Asia. I had trouble finding a packing list for people, like myself, who are moving to Africa at the young age of 22. I hope this will help people like myself, who are young and are excited for their new move to an amazing and adventurous continent as Africa or more specifically, East Africa.

Clothing: This was both the hardest and easiest part of packing. It was the hardest part because I was unsure of the climate of Addis Ababa or Ethiopia specifically, but it was also the easiest due to my minimalist lifestyle and not having a lot of clothing items. Also keep in mind, I am living in Ethiopia to teach English so a lot of the clothing I brought had to be more professional but depending on your reason for moving abroad the amount of each item will change accordingly. I also had to ensure that I brought modest clothing due to the Orthodox Christian and Muslim religions in the country.

3 dresses: two calf length and one maxi dress

2 pairs of jeans: black and ripped blue jeans

3 pairs of shorts

3 lounge pants

7 shirts: 4 comfortable cotton shirts and 2 regular t-shirts for lounging or to sleep in

2 sweatshirts (one was a comfort reason- it’s my grandpa’s)

4 professional shirts

One black jumpsuit

One pair of overalls

3 lounge pants

2 weeks’ worth of underwear

2 weeks’ worth of socks

3 bras

2 bathing suits

Blazer

jacket

Shoes:

2 pairs of Birkenstocks (for those of you who know- I live in these)

Hiking boots

Running sneakers

Flip flops: for showering/ around the house

Nice flats

Nice sandals

Toiletries: I personally use Lush products, so I made sure that I brought extra of their products so that I do not run out. But for the most part, if you do not use specific products than I wouldn’t suggest bringing extras because you can find most things in the shops or something at least similar.

Deodorant bar

Shampoo bar

Condition bar

Body soap bar

Razor and extra blades

Toothbrush

Washcloth

Floss

Tooth paste (travel size for when I go on my own trips in the country)

Other Items: These are the items that I brought either for my own necessities, preferences, or comforts to make moving to Ethiopia easier.

Microfiber or travel towel

Regular household towel

Umbrella (Ethiopia has an intense rainy season)

Rain jacket

Computer/ iPad/ phone

3 Life straws (I would highly recommend if you are unsure about the condition of the water of the country)

Ethiopian travel guide/ world book/ Amharic language book

Chargers

2 water bottles

3 bags for grocery shopping/ random necessities

TOILET PAPER ROLL!! It sounds ridiculous, but you will need it for the first few days and it’s nice to have extra soft because the toilet paper here is like sand paper- LOVE YOU MOM)

Credit cards

Passport/ passport card with visa

Travel adapters

Camera and new SD card

First aid kit

Random Items of comfort:

Essential oils (I use mine daily, so I knew that I had to bring them with me)

Yeti (need it for my morning coffee)

Nose ring stud (in case my job said I couldn’t wear my nose ring)

Swiss army knife- comes in handy more than one would think

Tapestry

Hair wraps

Reusable utensils and straws

Digestive greens powder (for when you don’t feel quite right- has helped me a lot so far)

Journal to remember your travels

PICTURES of family, friends, and pets (trust me)

Extra sheet/ pillow case (I did this in Paris and it made my room feel like home when I used my regular sheets from my bed at home)

Medication: malaria, Excedrin, cold and flu, Benadryl, anti-diarrhea (I would recommend any medications that you would use at home to bring along with you due to the lack of them depending on the country)

Bullet journal/ supplies: this is how I organize my life and lesson plans

This may seem like a lot for most people, but when you move to another country for the first time, I took priority to have comfort. I also brought basically everything I owned with me to Ethiopia. All of these items fit into a suitcase, an osprey backpackers pack, and my carryon backpack. I know I will be leaving things here when I leave and bring more stuff home back to the states when I decide to come home. For the most part, I have used everything I have brought with me except for a few items.

I am, in no way, saying this list should be adapted by everyone because everyone has their own specifics of what they need in their home. Looking back, there are certain things I probably would have left home and other things I would’ve brought with me, mainly granola bars. But overall, everything I need came with me or I have bought while I’ve been here.

Keep up with Cynthia’s time in Africa (and her previous times abroad) on her blog, which can be found here.
