Going from a sizzling Kiwi summer to a chilly Swedish winter means a lot of preparation for this huge transition and start of a new chapter. I’m eagerly counting down the days and am extremely excited to touch down in Lund on the 5th of January.
Below is a wee list of the most vital items that I can’t leave New Zealand without:
- Warm clothes for the below zero, frosty temperatures of Sweden
- Canon camera and GoPro to take and share photos and videos with (many of which will be added to this blog – so keep an eye out!)
- Bondi fake tan (no chance of getting a real tan in Sweden!)
- Whittakers chocolate
- Meds (stocking up before I leave as medicine doesn’t come cheap in Sweden)
- Polariods and pictures to decorate the walls of my new home
- My New Zealand and Dutch passports for travelling
- Pawpaw ointment to soothe dry skin
- Alarm clock (definitely don’t want to miss my first class)
- Wall plug converters
- Swedish currency
- A map of Lund so I can find my way around (when I don’t have wifi for Google Maps)
- Another empty bag (to fill with shopping of course!)
Looking forwards to sharing my experience with you all,
