If I visited another nation and was only able to pack 3 items, I would have to choose carefully. The first thing I would pack is a dictionary or translation book of the new locations local language. This way I can make my way around and understand the basics of the language in order to live. The second thing I would bring is a pack of local treats / snacks in order to share with the new population. Being generous can help immensely in any new environment. The final thing I would bring it plenty of water, I have to drink if I want to survive.
The dictionary I would describe as a book of words to learn their language. The treats I would describe as food for them to enjoy. Finally, the water I would describe as nourishment for the soul.
I hope I've helped! :)
