🎒✈️ Packing for your next adventure?

Whether you’re heading abroad with SAA or traveling solo, packing smart can make all the difference! Our team of well-traveled former student-athletes has top tips to help you pack like a pro and travel stress-free.

👇 Top Packing Tips:

1️⃣ Pack light & versatile—Stick to essentials & choose mix-and-match outfits. If it’s in your budget, save room for local shopping & souvenirs! One small checked bag + carry-on backpack is PLENTY for 3-4 weeks.
2️⃣ Roll, don’t fold—Maximize space & minimize wrinkles. Utilize the inside of your shoes, too.
3️⃣ Carry-on must-haves—Important documents, change of clothes, & items of value.
4️⃣ Carry a basic first-aid kit—Band-aids, aspirin, anti-nausea meds, & disinfectant can be lifesavers. You can find most OTC medications abroad, but if there’s a brand you know & like, it’s better to pack it.
5️⃣ Small gifts or donations—This is optional, but it’s a great way to give back while traveling. Ask our team if you have ideas or questions on what’s OK to bring.

💡 Pro Tip: Use packing cubes to stay organized & fit more in your bag!

🗣️Meet Drue, a swimmer from Denison University. Drue interned in San Jose, Costa Rica in 2024 🇨🇷

“Getting introduced to a new culture that was so vastly different from what I was used to could have been overwhelming, but everyone at SAA made adjusting so easy. I met so many incredible people that I look forward to maintaining a connection with both personally and professionally. This experience helped me grow in my communication skills and out of my comfort zone. I am so grateful for the lessons, friendships, and memories I made in Costa Rica.”

📝Drue’s tips for future SAA Interns:

- Be prepared for a more relaxed lifestyle—embrace the slower pace and enjoy it.

- Family time is a big part of the culture—appreciate the warmth and hospitality.

- Bring a backpack to carry everything between your internship, the office, and the gym.

🗣️Meet Danny, a wrestler from New York University. Danny interned in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2024 🇬🇷

“I can’t stress enough how meaningful this experience was to me. Like most interns, I was skeptical to travel across the world alone. But in less than a month, I made some of the best memories of my life. I made new friends, gained valuable life skills, learned about local culture, and even continued training for my sport. This opportunity pushed me outside my comfort zone and I was able to adapt to a new culture and lifestyle. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will cherish forever.”

📝Danny’s tips for future SAA Interns:

- Engage with locals; friendships make the experience unforgettable.

- Step outside your comfort zone— you will be grateful you did.

- Pay attention to everything you learn—you will be suprised how much sticks with you.

“My top highlights were the incredible people I met on my program and during my internship, and getting to experience Spanish soccer by playing with a local team. During the entire month, I fully enjoyed and embraced the cultural differences that Spain had to offer and made me grow as a person as I was learning them. I wish everyone could live the same positive experience I had over there!”
