Moondance Slovenia Trip

Packing List

We’ve provided packing recommendations below; however, equivalent items work just fine. We also offer many items for sale via our online store. These items are marked with an “x” in the appropriate column.
Keep in mind that June and July can still be cold in the Alps! Warm layers are very important, as evening temperatures can dip down in the low 30s.
*To avoid the risk of lost luggage, we ask you to carry your luggage onto the airplane. The backpack size listed above MUST meet the carry-on regulations. Again, please do not check your backpack on travel days. Thank you!*

Packing Tips

In the event that your luggage is delayed or lost in transit, we want you to be prepared. Therefore, wear tennis or hiking shoes on the plane. Plus, pack the following items from this packing list in your daypack / school backpack carry-on:

A change of clothes (underwear + t-shirt + shorts or pants)
Your rain jacket
Prescription medications & toothbrush
Passport, ID, money
Completed International Travel Authorization form

These items are already included in the packing list – they are not additional items!

Tick-Borne Encephalitis

The CDC recommends you consider a Tick-Borne Encephalitis vaccine for persons who will have extensive exposure to ticks based on their planned outdoor activities and itinerary, especially if ticks are likely to be found in those areas.

Rabies

While dogs with rabies are not commonly found in Slovenia, you may consider pre-exposure vaccination for rabies prior to travel due to our remote wilderness locations. Also, rabies vaccines may only be available in larger suburban/urban medical facilities.
