Travel wisely this summer
Travel wisely this summer; make the right preparations.
A snapshot of the best travel advice.
Travel with the right insurance
Make sure you have the right insurance. In addition to medical expenses insurance, it is also important that you take out travel insurance. When taking out travel insurance, bear in mind where you are travelling to. Most travel insurances make a distinction between Europe and the rest of the world. If you only have basic medical expenses insurance, then it would be wise to take extra insurance for medical costs. This means you will also be covered for medical costs in private hospitals and for repatriation costs. If you are the sporty type and will be partaking in risky sports like rock climbing and diving, make sure your travel insurance offers you the right cover.
Travel in good health
Are you travelling to a (sub) tropic destination? Consult a doctor, GP or vaccination centre for appropriate vaccination advice. If you take medicine, it could be useful to request a European Medical Passport from your doctor, GP or pharmacy. The passport states the medicine you are taking in various languages, and also mentions the active substances. This may be helpful if you unexpectedly find yourself without medicine.
Travel documents, travel advice, home front
For some countries you will require a visa. Make sure you request a visa on time and check whether your passport is valid. Always request the most up-to-date travel advice for your destination from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Further, you are advised to respect local cultures. And it is also wise to keep in touch with those back home.
Travel stress-free
Take a few days off to calmly prepare for your holiday and to escape from your working rhythm. This will help you to relax. If you are driving to your holiday destination, then it is important to take regular breaks on the journey, which will help to improve your concentration. Want to avoid stress?
