Having bad health when abroad, and especially in a developing world country can ruin the entire experience. Here are some tips to keep you in good shape.
Pre-expedition
- walk, run, swim, bike - build up and maintain a fair standard of fitness. Take care not to over do it though; train but don't strain. You should aim to be able to walk for up to 7 hours in one day while carrying your back pack.
On expedition - health
Eat sensibly, drink lots of fluids and take care that what you drink is always pure. Never share water bottles, cutlery or cups. Use sun screen and cover up when trekking.
On expedition - security
Don't look like a rich tourist - dress down - especially when entering unknown urban areas - watch your possessions like a hawk - leave jewellery at home - and use a cheap watch. Keep your money in different locations about your body.
Don't stop to dig through your back pack right in the middle of a public place.
