Health and Safety
These resource pages are ongoing and come from many sources including online searches, word of mouth recommendations, books, pamphlets, brochures, and my own travel experiences. If you have anything to add, would like something removed, or something isn’t working correctly, please let me know.
The flags below are meant to give you an idea of which nationalities the link is for or where the company is located. Common sense should tell you if you’re able to use a given link from another country.
Travel Advisories
Use common sense when reading travel advisories as governments tend to be very over-cautious when giving out travel warnings and such.

I don't believe we are what we do to earn money. Instead, I consider myself to be all of these and more: photographer, traveler, foodie, teacher, student, blogger, explorer, poker player, music lover, son, film buff, computer geek, scuba diver, game player, friend, mountain climber, social drinker, and seeker of new experiences.
