Packing List

Okay, so this is pretty much the packing list you'll find listed for Ukraine on peacecorpswiki.org. It'll evolve as I look at other people's packing lists and think of items I need/decide I don't need.

Purple text indicates items I already own.

Italics indicates something I may buy in country per CPCV suggestions.

*I still need to work out my Luggage... I'm thinking a large suitcase with wheels and a large backpack or duffle bag which I'll check, and then a smaller backpack and a laptop bag which I'll carry on.
