Trip Itinerary:
You may find it valuable to prepare an itinerary for your time abroad. This will help you foresee organizational complications, allow everyone on the team to have a good idea of what you will be doing, and help you avoid wasting time by forcing you to prepare on a day to day basis. Most itineraries contain a list of members going on the trip, contact information for where you will stay, names and contact information for your in-country hosts, a day-to-day agenda, and a list of goals and tasks your team hope to accomplish. In case you find it useful, we have attached a sample itinerary template and also one that has been used over several years and filled out. Feel free to use these for your own trip.
