Go ahead and squeeze every ounce of pleasure from this vacation \u2014&nbsp;<em>just be smart about out<\/em>. And here&#8217;s how&#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.&nbsp;Dress Accordingly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s catching a cold or getting sunburnt, nothing makes you feel more like a doofus than being unprepared for the weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Layer up and stay warm if things are to get chilly,<\/strong>&nbsp;even if only at night. And if you&#8217;re headed to a sunny locale,&nbsp;<strong>make sure you&nbsp;<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/beat-the-heat-sun-safety-in-hot-weather\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>play it smart in the sun all day<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;(<em>especially&nbsp;<\/em>if a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/visiting-a-nudist-beach-for-the-first-time-heres-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\">nude beach is on the docket<\/a>&nbsp;\ud83d\ude09)&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun itself isn&#8217;t bad for you (it&#8217;s good for you), it&#8217;s when you get burned with too much of it that it becomes dangerous. Also, use chemical-free sunscreen like&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2L7ZcXn\" target=\"_blank\">Sun Bum<\/a>&nbsp;so you&#8217;re not caking on unnecessary chemicals.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pro Tip:<\/em>&nbsp;Use&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/trip-packing-list-by-pack-this\/id1258042125\" target=\"_blank\">Pack This<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>get weather updates for where you are&nbsp;<\/strong>so you always bring along the right stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.&nbsp;<strong>Keep Your Hands To Yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also prevent getting sick by trying to keep your mitts off germ-infested stuff&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything you subconsciously want to grab, don&#8217;t.&nbsp;<strong>The biggest, dirtiest culprits are<\/strong>&nbsp;seat-back pockets, tray tables, overhead controls knobs, unwrapped hotel room glassware, public bathrooms, public transport, and money.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t turn weird because you went crazy with this. Just try to be mindful of it, wash your hands often, and maybe even grab some travel&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2U8jPH1\" target=\"_blank\">hand sanitizer<\/a>&nbsp;if you see it in a store.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13.&nbsp;<strong>Watch What You Ingest<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal here is to keep your immune system strong enough to tackle any new bugs that head its way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t do like I once did in Morocco and eat questionable street meat (the porcelain throne was my best friend&nbsp;<em>for 3 straight days<\/em>&nbsp;\ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f)&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, be careful of where and what you eat, especially when it comes to meat and seafood.&nbsp;<strong>Make sure it&#8217;s fresh, cooked thoroughly, and served piping hot.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.&nbsp;<strong>Drink only bottled water<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you see locals drinking tap water, that doesn&#8217;t mean you should. (But beware: a common scam is to resell them full of tap water so make sure the seal is intact).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15. Watch out when partaking in alcohol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For cocktails, drink the ones without ice or blended with ice. Of course, use your discretion on this&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If in Havana, how do you NOT have a daiquiri in the bar where they were invented? Or a Pina Colada in Old San Juan, PR? These spots&nbsp;<em>are<\/em>&nbsp;safe to drink this stuff&#8230; but you always need to be smart about picking them and, if you really want to play it safe, just avoid it completely.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16.&nbsp;<strong>Stay Rested<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting enough sleep puts your body in prime bug-fighting mode. The first thing to line up is&nbsp;a plan for eliminating jet lag. Here are our&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/9-tips-for-fast-jet-lag-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\">9 Tips For Fast Jet Lag Recovery<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lack of proper sleep also adds tremendously to the amount of stress you can handle, which in turn can cause or escalate illness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, although you want to cram every minute of fun in, don&#8217;t hesitate to at least get proper sleep at night.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17.&nbsp;<strong>Watch For Them Nasty Bugs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At best, mosquito bites just get annoying. At worst, they introduce horrible diseases into your system, like Yellow Fever, Dengue, Japanese Encephalitis, Chikungunya, Zika, and even Malaria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go pick yourself up a can of spray that has DEET in it,&nbsp;<\/strong>and cover yourself up when outside at dusk and dawn, and even use a mosquito net overnight if in a real hotspot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other nasty bugs to be aware of are bed bugs. I wouldn&#8217;t worry too much about this but, in case you wanted to know, here are&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/when-traveling-bites-checking-for-bed-bugs-in-5-quick-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\">5 Quick Steps To Check For Bed Bugs<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now to the safety side of things&#8230;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18.&nbsp;<strong>Know The Scams<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been pretty lucky throughout my travels and have only been scammed a couple of times&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once by a cabbie in Lima, and once in Marrakech with a &#8220;free gift&#8221; of a small henna tattoo on my hand that turned into a half sleeve and a screaming match. \ud83e\udd23&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there were probably others that I&#8217;m not even aware of&#8230; you know, maybe a few bucks in overpayment here or there.
