Step 5 Traveling
Step 5: Actual traveling abroad can be tricky for the first time, we advise that you plan ahead of time, remember most international flights require at least 2 hrs checking in at the departure airport even if there is a domestic connection flight. Do not take too much luggage, expensive items, extra jewelry or such things; try to be as light as possible with luggage that is easily manageable. If you have received the Baobab Volunteer T-Shirt, please make sure you put it on especially during arrival for easy identification by your host. Take as many pictures as possible (ask people before you take their picture!) and be sure to share them with us.
