PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE

What to bring to Trinidad

​

In general it would be good to be able to carry all your own bags, so pack light. You can expect to find most of the consumer goods available within Trinidad but not very close to the farm. Be prepared to pack out all batteries and non biodegradable waste, avoid excessive packaging.

​

Do not leave bags unattended. We will send you instructions of how to get to the farm by taxi. The cost is approx. US$50

​

In addition to the obvious things you would need for a couple of weeks in the tropics (socks, underwear, t-shirts, shorts, sandals) please consider the following items for this course:

sneakers
long pants for mosquitoes
sun hat
sun screen
insect repellant
bug net
notebook(s)/sketch book
pens and pencils
headlamp/flashlight
extra batteries if specialised
water bottle/camelback
towel
tent if you prefer camping
light weight sleeping bag
Toiletries: 
non phosphate soap/shampoo (biodegradeable)
women - tampons or pads
small sewing kit

​

There is a washer and dryer available for doing laundry, however ecological laundry soap is not, we would appreciate if you could bring some.

Optional:

camera
film (might be more expensive here if you still use film!)
extra battery for camera
book(s) to read and share with others
musical instruments
favourite comfort/snack food
journal

 

Medical kit:
