Thanks for the great post! I think we get sick less often traveling than we ever did living in the US! Maybe its because we are retired now and less stressed. But we have had our share of getting sick while traveling, from COVID in Spain last year to a sinus infection in Montenegro to norovirus on a cruise ship. I think what getting sick while traveling taught us is that we can always figure out how to get help and the medicines we need. There’s also a great nomad-focused health information group on Facebook that is super helpful. And we also like the Air Doctor app when we need to look for a doctor while on the road.

Great suggestion about air doctor. I forgotten to include that.

I can’t believe in all the years of our traveling and at home we haven’t had Covid… touch wood… Cross your fingers.

At home or abroad, I think I’m more conscious of it when we’re traveling but to be perfect I don’t think it’s more than home for a while

Thanks for your thoughtful comments
