International travel is not just fun – it is a fantastic way to grow as a person and to experience cultures and people who are radically different than your won. And then you realize that at a most basic level, people are all the same no matter where you go.
But there are dangers involved in international travel, especially when it involves travel to areas that do not have a developed medical infrastructure. The last thing you want is for a medical emergency to come up while you are 500 miles away from the nearest hospital.
