This is the travelling plan: you’re not a normal tourist and you decide to travel on your own, you’ve bought everything you need for your trip, you have your itinerary and your travel plan and even you have hired a travel insurance that covers things unimaginable , travel to another continent, you know you feel like languages and adventure … But are you sure you know everything? No sufficiently experienced traveler who does not have passed incidental or uncomfortable situations.
What medical supplies should bring:
A small emergency kit will avoid greater evils in your journey. And believe me, there’s nothing more annoying than getting sick on a trip. If you travel to a third world country carry a water purifier and never eat or drink beverages that are not purified. One of the most popular purifiers for travelers is the brand SteriPEN.
It is also advisable to take anti-inflammatory, paracetamol, anti-diarrhea (as Fortasec), antibiotics (like Cipro), wipes. Check with your doctor the most appropriate medication for your trip.
Bring rehydration salts, if you travel to a warm place can be dehydrated before your body gets used to the weather .. Bicarbonate is also helpful because it increases the alkalinity of the body and neutralizes the acidity of local foods.
Emergencies during the trip
We’ll say a thousand times, but never without a good travel insurance that includes emergency medical care, repatriation, hospitalization and compensation. Leave your trip plan with family or friends in case of emergency to be alert and know roughly where you are.
The trick to carry only the essentials are as follows: Before the trip and when you prepare your suitcase, put your clothes and the money you plan to carry on the bed. Put the bag in half the clothes and twice had the money they had put on the bed. It is a council that never fails.
Do not wear many clothes, if you travel to a third world country or developing local you can always buy clothes when you arrive. Will be cheaper and you can throw before returning home. No more paying for overweight at the airport.
Street Food
Eating street food is very unusual but also a possible source of infection. What causes the infection is not really the food itself, but the water that wash the food, dishes, etc. Eat only where there is a queue of people waiting, the food should not be too bad there. Come hot products and thoroughly cooked, do not eat salads or served with the hand things. Other types of food that you try the den on napkins and dishes.
How to Dress
Most travelers agree with this assessment. The best impression is given by people who wear “decent.” In some forums, I read that when you wear shorts or tight you can not find the same hospitality that when you take the body more covered. Anyway, try to observe and follow the local customs and always carry a smile on your suitcase.
