Travel List- Packing guide for moving from one country to another. IMG Diaries!

Heya!

It can be difficult to move across one country to another. Specially, when you're selected for a graduate medical education program because of dozens of paperwork!!!!!! (Literally, I feel y'all)

I always hated making a travel list. Whenever I made one, I misplaced it!

The vicious cycle continued. So, here I am trying to make my and your future travel a little bit (1/1000th times) easier by making a Travel List which won't be lost and will always be a click away!

I have divided the documents required into-

• Important Documents
• Medications
• Job Essential (Medical Residency- Specific) 
• Electronics
• Skincare and cosmetics
• Clothes and Undergarments
• Footwear
• Home essentials and Stationary
• Female Essentials
• Food 

DISCLAIMER- I made this list for myself. Please feel free to modify according to your requirements. Kindly comment if I forgot to mention something really important that should be carried along!
