ravel can be a wonderful experience and is a great way to see the world, but sometimes things can go wrong while on a trip, from getting sick to getting injured or worse.

If you’re going on an adventure around the world or just visiting family and friends in another city, here are eight tips to help you stay safe and healthy while travelling:

Get enough sleep

It may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s important to get enough sleep before leaving. This will help you feel more refreshed when you arrive at your destination and less likely to get sick from jet lag or other travel-related fatigue issues.

Get vaccinated

Before travelling, check whether you need any vaccinations or boosters for your destination. This is especially important if your destination has different health conditions than those in your home country (e.g., malaria). This includes having a yellow fever vaccination card if you’re going to Africa and South America.
