Great tips! Mosquitoes won’t leave me alone but I have to admit I am not as careful with the spray or other measures as I should be.
A lot of travellers aren’t Gemma, and I get everyone is excited and do forget, but they are essential and once you get into a routine it gets a lot easier.
Amazing video, you should definitely do a lot more of these health videos!
Haha thank you, I plan to. Is there anything in particular you want to see?
Something on common travel illnesses, delhi belly and things like that. That would be helpful.
Already in the works Chris! ;D
