Travel PlanningDocumentation: There are many things to consider when traveling overseas. You must bring your passport and provide color photocopies of it to exercise staff - just in case. If you are not a US citizen you may need a visa for travel to Macedonia. Check with the Macedonian visa regime here. You must also complete the SVETLINA application form as it will contain important contact information should a contingency arise. Travel: Flights from the United States to Macedonia are at least nine hours long with one or more changes so plan your travel comforts accordingly. Be sure that you have purchased travel insurance in case your travel is interrupted. Money: Carry some funds with you for incidental expenses - at least US$200. The event includes a weekend side trip to the tourist town of Ohrid for rest and relaxation. You can use credit and debit cards in Macedonia but don't rely on these alone. Electricity: Macedonia uses European-style plugs and voltages. You may need voltage adapters and will need plug adapters to power any electronic items you may bring. Cell Phones: You may bring your cell phone but be aware that Europe uses a different system. Note also that cell phone use during the exercise is not permitted. Likewise long distance telephone and Internet use is restricted during the week so let your friends and family know that once the Institute begins you won't be able to call home until the weekend. Emergency calls are always permitted. |
