Completed Packing List!
Hello friends!
I have been getting tons of questions from friends and family asking what I am going to bring to Vanuatu. At first glance it might be an easy enough question. What makes this question quite complicated is all the unknowns in my future. Yes, I know which country I will be moving to, but I am not sure how the housing situation will be. Some volunteers have a concrete house, some have outside squat toilets. The truth is that I won't know until I get assigned a location.
Since April 15th is only 2 days away, I thought I would give you all my completed Packing List! Yes it looks like a lot of items, but I am aloud to have up to 100 lbs. So here we go!
