Health

A miracle we're still alive

It seems funny in a way that we need so much medical protection and preparation just to travel. On one hand I feel a bit spoiled and over-concerned as I pack my bags with antibiotics, medications, and get vaccinations for every type of disease out there. However, I guess I should really just feel lucky because I have access to these things. Here's what we got:

Vaccinations:

  • Hepatitis A & B (3x)
  • Polio
  • Tetanus
  • Diphteria
  • Typhoid
  • Rabies (3x)
  • Cholera
  • Japanese Encephalitis (3x)

I got 7 of these at once! Now I feel like a real hard-core traveler.

Medical Supply bag:

  • antibiotics
  • Malarone malaria pills
  • sterile injection needle
  • disinfectant
  • sterile compresses

Health insurance:
Although we didn't plan any severe accidents, we also got an extra health insurance. You know, just in case. We're covered for up to 75.000 Euro's each. That'll do in any country outside the USA.
