The Video Lowdown:

In this video, I share what actually happens if you get sick while traveling, how to prepare before you leave, how to stay healthy while you’re on the road (or at least try to do so!), and what to do if you do need medical care abroad—based on my real experiences traveling through Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and beyond.

I cover:

What to do before your trip to reduce your risk of getting sick
Healthy habits that help you stay well while traveling
What pharmacies are really like overseas (and how helpful they can be)
How clinics and hospitals work in other countries
Why travel insurance matters—and how reimbursement actually works
How to take care of yourself if you do get sick so it doesn’t ruin your entire trip

I’ve visited clinics and pharmacies in multiple countries, and none of those experiences were scary or negative—but being prepared made all the difference. My goal with this video is to help you feel confident, informed, and empowered—so fear of getting sick doesn’t stop you from traveling.

Travel doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes it’s about adapting, resting when you need to, and continuing on when you’re ready.

If you’ve ever worried about getting sick while traveling—or if that fear has held you back—this video is for you.

✈️ Thanks for watching, and safe travels.
