What do you have to carry?

It is a question very often asked and as important as also free for every one of the participants. Although there are things that every participant has to take with him bearing in mind the climatic, geographical, cultural and social special features of the host country. In most of the cases the wise saying ‘Who carries, he doesn’t beg’. Be careful at the end to leave enough space for the photo between the clothing. Check your flight number and follow carefully the flight screens for your hour of departure just in case if there is some change of your flight or flight connections. Be sure that you are holding in your hands your passport, tickets and wallet with money and credit cards. Don’t be late for the airport!!!

The purpose of the host is not to ensure the materially necessary things for staying of every guest, but to make the whole atmosphere and situation so comfortable that every participant is able to model it through his own prism and point of view. After all that we can say that we have done a good job. We - the Organizing team - are doing our best and we hope you to feel maximally comfortable, convenient and most of all – like home. Do not forget that for the 36-th Forestry Students’ Symposium the most important things you should carry, are the good mood and the bag with jokes. Below you can find the necessary things that (obligatory ones are red and underline) you have to take with you so your stay in Bulgaria turns to be an unforgettable and really pleasure adventure.
