Travel Health and Safety Advice by Calculated Traveller Magazine.

So you’re finally ready to take your next trip? You’ve thought of everything. Or have you? Health and safety is something we often don’t think about when going on vacation but it’s important both at home and when you travel.

Travelling abroad is an especially crucial time to assess your travel insurance and read up on travel safety tips and information about your destination. Sometimes things can go wrong on a trip, despite your best plans, so it’s important to know where to go and what to do if you do get sick or need help.

Whether you’re road tripping down Route 66 or shopping the markets of Istanbul, your safety has to be your first consideration. You should know where you’re going, protect yourself and your property, and travel as safely as possible.

Don’t leave for your next trip, without reading through our health and safety articles first. We have some practical advice on prevention, remedies on the go, and first-aid gear that should be in every travel bag.

Here are some of our most popular Health and Safety articles to get you started.
