Easiest way to ruin your vacation

This is one of the biggest mistakes people make when they travel to another country! I know it’s tempting to order a drink with ice or eat that piece of fruit but, honestly you’re better off staying away. The water in these countries is just not what we’re used to it and for many of the locals they’re fine to drink it but, for us it will ruin the trip. The last thing you want is spend your vacation in the bathroom or even worse in the hospital and I don’t know about you but food is one of the main reasons I travel.

I will let you in on a little secret if you’re wondering should I drink this or not just don’t! And whatever you do, don’t eat a salad! I know you’re like oh I want to be healthy and not everything that’s covered in grease but, surprise surprise that burger or plate of pasta is probably less likely to get you sick than a salad. I will admit I did get food poisoning from an Italian restaurant in Portugal but that’s a story for another day.

Now if you want to try to prevent yourself from getting sick you need to bring Travelan. It’s $35 and you can get it at a pharmacy. If you unfortunately do get sick you need Imodium it’s $12 and something you should just have on hand. I also recommend Pepto Bismal and some people say activated charcoal. I do think if you’re going somewhere really remote see a doctor beforehand. Let me know in the comments if you want a part 2!
