Travel Health

Savvy travelling
Ah, Travel. It broadens the mind, enriches the spirit, and relaxes the body. Well that's the idea anyway.

Smooth sailing
The Concordia disaster has doubtless made many think twice about that dream holiday on the ocean wave. But millions cruise in safety, as can you if you take these precautions.

The end of travel?
If you care about the environment at all, then travel, powered largely by fossil fuels as it is, may be starting to feel like a guilty pleasure.

Beat the jet lag drag
There are many demands made on modern humans for which our bodies are simply not evolved.

Mind your head
Travel health brings to mind yellow fever shots and making sure you boil that dodgy river water properly.

Travel is expensive, time-consuming, stressful, disruptive, sometimes tedious, occasionally even dangerous. None of which is enough to keep us at home with the blinds drawn.

Africa's deadliest beast
It's a trick question beloved by travel health medics: What's the most dangerous animal in Africa?

Eating on the go
Sampling culinary delicacies in new places is a delight, but a complete dietary free-for-all while travelling can quickly pack on the pounds and sap your energy.

Move it
There's something about hotel rooms that makes me childishly lazy. If there's a freshly made bed, I'll sprawl on it; if there's a complimentary chocolate, I'll devour it.
