The 411: Helpful Tips for the Student Traveller

Peanut Butter, remember delicious peanut butter? Peanut Butter is one of those "American" foods that students rely on. It brings back fuzzy memories of Mom, home-cooked meals and being a kid. And don't forget it's readily available everywhere. And it's cheap.
Well, it is in the States.

Don't expect to find it everywhere when you're abroad. In fact, get used to the idea that a lot of the comfort foods that you're used to will not be available overseas. If there are items that you can't live without (peanut butter, a special soap, a particular brand of toothpaste, etc.), make sure you take several containers with you or hope that you have family and friends who are willing to send you items!

But don't forget that you can use this opportunity to find something local, new and/or different to replace your old favorites. You just have to get out there and try it!
