1. Relativize the risks

You will hear at least one person around you who will warn you of the insurmountable risks you will face if you go abroad.

So yes, anything can happen, but a bit like everywhere else in fact.

The important thing is to assess the risks before leaving by taking the right information and the right recommendations.

If you are well prepared, everything will be fine and the hazards will be taken care of properly.


2. Prepare before departure

Travel insurance

Whatever your destination, you will need to take out travel insurance and you can consult the article devoted to this subject.

Always carry a copy of your insurance policy with you. It could help you in case of an accident.

Vaccines

Some vaccines are highly recommended depending on the destination.

This is the case with the vaccine against yellow fever for Africa or Japanese encephalitis for certain countries in Asia.

See the article on vaccines.

In all cases, you will be required to do the vaccinations before your departure.

And if you don’t want to do them, you’ll change your mind after being bitten by 20 mosquitoes a day or by a gentle monkey on a sightseeing tour.

The reluctance to be vaccinated is quite legitimate and you will have to find acceptable compromises and in this case avoid certain risk areas.

Remember to bring your vaccination record wherever you go, put a copy in your emergency kit and write down the products to which you are allergic.

Accidents and Insurance during travelling

Of course, if you hurt yourself very strongly, especially after an accident in scooter, you will need to call the emergency.
But not necessarily if it’s not broken.
Remember that you have the power to solve a lot of problems by yourself with powerful natural products.


3. Your emergency kit

When traveling, you have to remember that everything will be more complicated, even if there are pharmacies all over the world, you have to rely on yourself, for everything and everywhere.

My emergency kit is made with natural products, simply because it is more effective than chemicals, cheaper, and easy to find anywhere in the world.

Having personal back-up solutions can solve many serious or stressful cases and save substantial amounts of money in most cases.

You can also have the traditional emergency kit or combine the two.
