There is much to love about traveling, as we all know, but there’s another side to it that isn’t talked about quite as much.

Traveling can make you go a little crazy after a while, especially if you’re a long-term adventurer. As such, it’s important to take steps to look after yourself, so retain some sort of self. Some people go traveling to find themselves, but the majority go just because they’re curious about other regions on the map. If you’re planning on spending many months on the road, then take a look at incorporating some of the following rules into your routine. 

Extreme weather conditions can happen anywhere in the world at any time, but would you know how to survive a natural disaster?

It’s devastating for residents living within a country, but as travellers, any one of us could be visiting somewhere when a natural disaster occurs. 

When we were in the Lombok earthquake on 5 August, we had no idea what to do, we just tried to think rationally and survival mode kicked in. When a tsunami warning was in place, for this we knew what to do – get to high ground. 

This post isn’t intended to scare, but to educate us all on what to do when faced with circumstances we are unfamiliar with. I haven’t endured all the situations within this post, if I had, I’m unsure if I would be the luckiest person still alive, or the unluckiest to have been in these disasters in the first place! So I spoke with my travel blogger friends to create this post. 
​
I hope we are all able to learn how to survive a natural disaster.
