Resources, Tips & Tricks:

  • Always travel with Kleenex, hand sanitizer, baby wipes and Imodium/Pepto-Bismol
  • Always make a note of where the hospitals are, specifically the hospitals that your insurance will only work with.
  • Always know where the nearest Pharmacy is to you accommodations
  • Depending on your symptoms you may want to try the pharmacist first as they have some similar training as doctors when it comes to medication. This of course is dependent on your travel history - snake bites, animal bites, serious injury or bleeding etc., head to the hospital.
  • Busing lines for street food vendors id a good sign. Not just for the test but it also means high turn over of food.

Ever had a trip go so spectacularly wrong it becomes a story you tell for years? That’s the territory explored in Travel Horror Stories Podcast, hosted by Christopher Rudder. This isn't just a collection of misfortunes, though. Each episode sits down with a diverse mix of guests-from seasoned travel writers and influencers to professionals in tourism and regular people who just ventured a bit too far off the map. They share their most vivid, gripping tales from the road, which range from the genuinely scary and tense to the downright weird, silly, and unsettling. The real hook is what happens after the story is told. Rudder and his guest unpack the experience, digging into what actually went awry, what the traveler did right in the moment, and what could have been done differently. It’s this blend of empathetic storytelling and practical reflection that gives the podcast its unique flavor. You’ll find yourself cringing, laughing, and maybe even learning a thing or two about navigating the unpredictable world of travel. Tuning into this podcast feels like swapping stories with a well-traveled friend, where every misadventure holds a lesson, or at least a really good laugh.
