Vaccinate ahead of time for destination-specific diseases, drink safe water, eat food that's hot and freshly cooked, wash hands frequently, use insect protection, carry oral rehydration salts, and consider travel health insurance and a basic medical kit.
See a travel clinic 4-6 weeks ahead — some vaccines need multiple doses or time to become effective, and malaria prophylaxis may need to start before departure.
Carry oral rehydration salts, a basic first aid kit, your regular medicines in original packaging with prescriptions, and check whether your insurance covers evacuation.
