Travel Health & Safety
The medical, dietary, and safety questions you don't want to learn the answer to mid-trip.
Most international travel goes fine. The trips that don't usually involve something nobody planned for — a 12-hour flight with no leg movement and a calf clot that surfaces three days later, a peanut allergy that gets “mostly understood” in translation, tap water that's fine for locals but rough on new arrivals, a hotel that promised step-free access but didn't mention the four-step lobby.
This hub pulls together every JourniTools resource on staying healthy and safe abroad — the long-haul flight health guide, the allergy-communication playbook, country-by-country water safety, mobility access reporting from travelers who actually use it, the emergency-number lookup, and the insurance clauses that matter. Read them before you book, not after the problem starts.
Each piece is built around one principle: the worst time to learn how something works is when you need it. Prep on the couch, save the firefighting for things you couldn't predict.
