• Bring a decent selection of clothing, a little bit of everything; casual clothes, formal clothes, warm clothes, and summer clothes.  If you are traveling, depending on where you go the weather may be different, so be prepared.
• Bring a small backpack; great for day trips or when you take city tours, engage in activities, etc.
• Bring photocopies of your passport and important documentation and keep them separate from your regular luggage, better yet, place them in a secure place in case you lose an original, you have a photocopy.
• Bring a spare credit card that you can use in case of emergencies. Never carry this credit card on you, it is your backup in case your regular credit card or debit card get lost or stolen.
• Bring some pictures of friends and family back home, this way you can look at them whenever you miss them!
• Bring a couple of great books.
• Bring a list of contact numbers and emails from back home.
• Do not bring any expensive jewellery or any other valuable items.  You are a temporary visitor to Argentina, it is best in this situation not to bring anything that could get stolen.
• Do not bring too much of anything; you will be buying things abroad and will be having to take them home again, so leave room in your luggage!
