LONG TREKS FOR GAP YEAR STUDENTS

GAP YEARS IN FAR FLUNG PLACES

IF you are taking a Gap year it would be good to invest in a homoeopathic first aid kit. For GAP year students there is a Travellers Kit.  This is designed to cope with acute illnesses in more remote parts of the world.  It consists of 36 remedies in a sturdy and durable plastic box.  The size is small and it would fit into the front pocket of a rucksack.

Travel to these far away places often indicate that a vaccination programme is ‘recommended’.  Please be aware this is only a recommendation and not mandatory  In fact there are very few countries where vaccination is mandatory and in those few, it is usually only for Yellow Fever. Some cover may be conferred by taking a remedy made from the disease state of the proposed recommended vaccine.  This is popular.  I also have a homoeopathic regime for Malaria along with the usual precautions of sensible clothing, mosquito net and a good insect repellent such as ‘Fly Away’.  The latter smells fantastic and IT WORKS.

Remember, only drink bottled water which you have unsealed yourself.  Also use bottle water to brush your teeth.  Despite the heat, resist the temptation to have ice in your drinks.  Keep your diet very simple until you acclimatise and only eat thoroughly cooked foods for the first couple of weeks or for the duration of your trip.
