Mark's top tips for CF travelling
Our Member, Mark O'Driscoll, has travelled extensively. He gives his top tips here for travelling and you can download and read his article 'Postcards from Paradise' below.
- ALWAYS have your medicines in your carry-on luggage.
- Have copies of prescriptions, clinic letters or any other documentation in both physical and digital form.
- If travelling to a country that doesn’t speak English, no harm to have copies of documentations translated into the destination language.
- If staying in hostels, sometimes it can be hard to find privacy for physio or treatments. Try to find places where you feel comfortable doing it, don’t neglect it.
- Be conscious of border crossings, searches and questions from authorities regarding medicines. Once you have all your paperwork, you’ll be fine, but they may still perform a detailed interrogation.
- Appreciate the journey!
