LEIPZIG PACKING LIST

Most things can be purchased in Leipzig, but prices may differ from the U.S. Also, a good tip for packing is to set out what you’d like to bring, then put back half of it – you need less than you think you do!

You may want to itemize the contents of your baggage for insurance purposes in the unlikely case that your bags are lost. Remember, you will need to room to take new things you find and purchase home with you!
