Never leave your valuables in plain view in a parked car. Decline all drinks and food offered by strangers. Health and Vaccines Ask relevant health authorities as well as your health insurance company whether medical expenditures incurred abroad will be refunded. These costs can be extremely high in certain countries. It is therefore highly recommended that you take out health and repatriation insurance for the country you are visiting.

Animals Make sure you vaccinate yourself against rabies and then carry your vaccination and health certificates with you. Make sure the certificates are valid. Please note that certain countries do not allow animals into the country while others require special authorisation. Customs A number of countries do not allow certain food items or devices into the country, such as cameras, transistor radios, tape recorders, video recorders, etc. Be sure to look into this at the consulate or tourist bureau of the country you are planning to visit.
