Practical Safe Travel Tips and Travel Health Advice
Planning on travelling but worried about getting sick? Or maybe
you're happy to travel but your parents are convinced that you will
end up robbed, raped, and left bleeding in a ditch and suffering
from malaria?
So you want foolproof safe travel solutions? Sorry, the world
does not come with guarantees - and the author is not offering any.
Instead, blending humour and experience, she tries to separate the
sensational news headlines from the reality of travel.
This is a not a thick book, it's a concise guide which addresses
how to avoid dying out there, interspersed with stories from the
author's own experience. The author hasn't died yet, so her advice
must be worth something.
Why You Shouldn't Buy This Book
Will this book replace your doctor's advice? Nope. Is it useful
for a high-profile exec worried about the threat of kidnap? Ahhh,
no. Will it entertain and inform the average inexperienced
traveller? That's the aim
This book won't give you all the answers, and your parents will
probably still worry. But its a start for anyone looking for safe
travel tips and travel health advice.
Yup this is a Non-Boring Travel Guide. If you don't have a sense
of humour, I suggest you might just want to skip right on by. This
is written by a traveller not a medical professional, or even an
ex-Special Services member. I'm just a gal, who travels ... a lot.
After 30 years I've come down with the odd disease while
travelling, and faced death on several occasions, but, to date,
I've survived. Must be doing something right.
The Non-Boring Safe Travel Guide even has some useful
information: why visiting your favourite medical professional
before you leave home can be a great investment; mosquitoes, and
why you should learn to hate them; the number one cause of death of
American tourists overseas: hint, its not a disease; surviving
local transport; how to avoid being a thief magnet on the street;
fool-proof way to avoid having your valuables stolen overseas.
The world is really a much, much safer place than the local news
media would have you believe. This realistic guide is designed to
inform and encourage you to get out there and really enjoy it.
