Before you move, know your health status
This is very important; before you embark on that travel, ensure that you know your health status. Visit a physician and run several tests to confirm your health state. Nevertheless, most country’s immigration law enforces that expatriates must present their health lab result(s) before entering the country.
What’s the current temperature in the countries you’re transiting to
Different countries experience different climate conditions at different times of the year. A country can be very hot or very cold in certain seasons. So, if you’re traveling for an activity, you should consider if the climate condition of the country you’re traveling to will be suitable for the activity you’re going to achieve.
Check for epidemic within the country
Some countries suffer from different influenzas. It is advisable to check and ascertain if the country you’re about traveling to is dealing with an epidemic or not. This will help to decide if you should still travel to the country or not. Meet a physician and confide in them to know if you should continue with preparations to travel to a particular state or country.
Take your medications
If you frequently experience a particular ailment, make sure that you travel along with your medications, and strictly adhere to the prescription given by your medical doctor. If it is possible, take the dosage that would serve for the number of days you will stay out in your destination country/state. However, if you would stay for a very long time, request that your doctor writes down the names of the drugs (with clear handwriting) so that you can easily buy them when you get to your destination.
Get health insurance plan
There are various types of travel insurance plans you can get for yourself if you’re a constant traveler. However, a travel health insurance plan should be among your top considerations. Also, endeavor to go through the policies and T&C’s of a travel health insurance plan before paying.
Pack your gears properly
How you arrange your gears has a way of helping you all through the vacation. Get a sizable bag that can contain everything you’re traveling with. Also, properly arrange the gears so that you can easily pick up things when you need them.
Tell close pals about your travel

A portable first aid kid is important
