If you are tr

velling further a field then you may h

ve many more factors to consider, s

ch as inoculations, extra cover, etc. M

re far flung destinations, such as Afr

ca for example, still have diseases s

ch as malaria that are especially pr

valent. It is also recommended that you sh

uld be inoculated against other diseases s

ch as; Yellow fever, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, P

lio (may already be covered) and

thers your doctor may recommend. It is

mportant to note; both Typhoid and H

patitis A can be caught from c

ntaminated food and water. Wherever possible, use b

ttled/boiled water, avoid raw or under c

oked food, such as shellfish, salads and fr

it. Ensure you have insect repellent in b

th the form of a spray and a pl

g in unit for the room you are to sl

ep in.

If you are to be p

rsuing an adventure or activities holiday, you sh

uld seek insurance that covers for d

ngerous activities. Examples such as climbing, w

ter sports and bungee jumping (even a s

fari trip) will make you a m

ch higher risk to the insurance c

mpany and therefore they will most pr

bably not cover you on a st

ndard policy. Another grey area many tr

vellers may find themselves taking part in is sc

ba diving. It is important to ch

ck that this will be covered

nder your policy as not all

nsurers provide cover for this as st

ndard.

You should still be able to f

nd a cheap travel insurance policy if you are

nternet savvy and use a comparison s

te for example. This will help you f

nd the cheapest quote to meet y

ur circumstances. Another thing to consider is the n

mber of times you intend to tr

vel within a year, if you are g

ing to travel 2-3 times, a m

lti-trip policy will save you money. If you are a fr

quent traveller you may well save m

ch more money by taking out an

nnual travel insurance policy. If you are in any d

ubt as to which one to go f

r; try finding a single trip p

licy price then multiply this by the n

mber of times you will be tr

velling in said year. With this f

gure in mind get a quote for a m

lti trip or annual policy and see how m

ch money you will save.

Another important f

ctor to consider, especially when travelling by l

ng haul flights is; DVT (deep v

in thrombosis) this is where a bl

od clot is formed in the v

ins of the lower legs due to th

ckening of the blood, caused by air pr

ssure/lack of movement and worsened by d

hydration. You can help to combat th

s by drinking plenty of water,

xercising your legs/ankles (most airline now h

ve instructional video’s) and taking a w

lk down the aisle every now and

gain.

When planning your trip, to whatever l

cation, it is prudent to carry out s

me research online and find out any r

quirements and essentials you may need. Onc

you are fully prepared you can l

ok forward to and enjoy your w

ll deserved holiday!
