Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Hi travel junkies everywhere!
A basic travel first aid kit is important no matter where you travel.
This brings me to the most important rule of a kit: “You can’t use it if its not with you.” I like to think of my kit as an insurance policy that I hope to never use.
And, don’t forget the medicines in your first aid kit have a limited lifetime. Check ‘use by’ dates, and ask your pharmacist for advice to ensure the contents of your kit remain effective and safe to use.
