We have included travel guides specific to each of our destinations, providing you with information such as vaccinations, cuisine, visa requirements, etc. for each of these countries. Below is a checklist travelers should keep in mind when planning for their trip..

Checklist:

  • Sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat for protection from harmful effects of UV sun rays.
  • Prescription medications: Make sure you have enough to last during your trip, as well as a copy of the prescription(s) or letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you.
  • Always carry medications in their original containers, in your carry-on luggage.
  • Be sure to bring along over-the-counter antidiarrheal medication (e.g., bismuth subsalicylate, loperamide) and an antibiotic prescribed by your doctor to self-treat moderate to severe diarrhea. See suggested over-the-counter medications and first aid items for a travel kit.
  • Make sure to take a copy of vaccination and medical records.
    (see: Recommended Vaccinations for Travellers)
