The Gap Year Travel Health Guide That Puts Parents’ Minds at Ease

Is your son or daughter planning a gap year adventure and trip to far-flung and off-the-beaten-track places?  Don’t let them zip up their rucksack without reading a new guide, which recognises that travel health is the key ingredient underpinning a positive memory-filled globetrotting extravaganza.

With the help of 'Pinpointing Your Gap Year’s Travel Health Needs’ you can help them stay healthy and out of harm’s way. The guide will show you how to plan their travel health strategy even before they depart, by getting the right travel vaccines and not paying for ones that will hit their budget totally unnecessarily. 

This is thanks to the new technology-backed Pinpoint Travel Health Brief service from guide authors, Pinpoint Travel Health.  This tailors all travel vaccinations and antimalarials advice, with pinpoint precision, to your son or daughter, their precise itinerary and their travel, work and volunteering plans overseas.

From there, the guide provides a focus on what to put in the backpack to maintain travel health and how to carry out other vital planning that can avoid trouble.  

Practical tips that can help steer backpackers past food and drink, altitude sickness, cultural and theft risks are also provided and there’s even a section that’s specific to women’s travel, if it’s a daughter who is taking off to explore the globe.  How to protect the budget is another handy section, along with suggestions of Apps that might assist.

Make sure your son or daughter reads the on-point advice and plans more than just their route and flight bookings when ‘roughing it’ around the world. If not, it could be an early plane home and a very depressing disintegration of their gap year travel dream.
