Note: This itinerary is subject to change due to availability and local conditions at the time of departure.
Packing
Pack two weeks’ worth of what you will need. You’ll have the opportunity to do laundry and you’ll want to leave room for things you buy during your program. Neutral colors and accessories make mixing and matching easy. See below for your core packing list.
While at work, you will be expected to wear business casual clothing. Business casual clothing includes, but is not limited to, blazers or sports coats, blouses or tailored tops, dress slacks or khakis, dark wash jeans (no holes or rips), and dress shoes. Please refrain from wearing flip flops, sandals, miniskirts, crop tops, or any other informal attire or apparel to your internship. It’s always better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. Try to wear nicer outfits your first week, and adjust to what those around you are wearing if your internship company has a more informal environment.
Budgeting
Whatever your personal spending habits are, it’s important to anticipate your expenses and budget accordingly so that you can travel care-free with more time to enjoy participating in your program. The Entrepreneur is a quite independent program, where you will be figuring out your meals for most of your program. We want to help you build a realistic budget for additional expenses so that you can fully enjoy trying the local cuisine, participating in activities in your free time, and, of course, shopping for souvenirs to bring back home.
