Flying, Borders, and Rules

Airport Security Without Stress

Place liquids under 100 ml in a clear bag, keep sharps in a labeled case, and carry documentation for prescription medications. Declare items politely. What’s your smoothest security tactic for medical gear? Share so others breeze through.

Language, Labels, and Local Pharmacies

Pack translation cards for symptoms, allergies, and medication names. Learn generic drug names, not just brands, and note nearby pharmacy hours. Comment with a phrase that helped you get care abroad, and we’ll compile a community glossary.

Documentation That Speeds Decisions

Include vaccination records, emergency contacts, and a consent letter for minors traveling with one parent or guardians. Laminate copies inside the kit. Want our document checklist? Subscribe and say “Docs” so we can send it next.
