Everyone is talking about amazing travel experiences. However, there is always the other side of the coin. With a host of good experiences, there are even more bad ones, such as disease, robbery or mysterious bug bites, you name it. If you want to add more wonderful travel experiences to your life, make sure you avoid these health mistakes during your next trip.

If you are asked to have an injection in order to avoid a certain disease before traveling to your destination, make sure you get it.

However, consult your doctor before having any type of injection.

Budget travelers are all guilty of eating street food. Yes, it is cheaper and tastier than restaurant meals. However, when visiting a country where clean food and dishes are not priority, your stomach may not survive this experiment.

Do a better research to find the place where you can eat clean and healthy food for cheap.

Staying hydrated is essential, so is the water choice. Even if locals tell you that their tap water is safe to drink, it is best to opt for bottled water. While it is not the healthiest option, it is at least clean. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
