Title – Factor in some sun protection
Source – The London Paper
Date – 18th July 2007
Many travellers first thought when planning a trip is to head for the sun and even those that shy away, often can’t help getting caught up in areas of high UV exposure. Sun protection is one of the basic items that every traveller should pack as an essential. Knowing how to use it and how much to use will prevent what blights most first time travellers at some point; sunburn.
But the impact of the sun should not be underestimated, most of us may well have been sunburnt at some point in our life, especially those of us that come from the UK who are very susceptible to more serious effects such as sun stroke, when we are in climates our bodies can just not deal with on their own.
A tan is often one of the things travellers most want to come back with, but sensible measures must be followed not only to protect yourself, but also to achieve the perfect tan. Speed and over-exposure are not the way to go.
Through our workshops we help individuals to plan for their travels in many different ways. As well as looking at personal safety, we also examine how to stay safe from disease and every day problems such as how to obtain clean drinking water and how to stay protected from the sun. During the section on travel equipment we advise on the equipment required for your trip and items such as sun creams and other sun protection.
We do not specifically recommend brands, but we will expand on our own experiences and provide facts for people to make responsible choices. Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety and Awareness workshop is directed at anyone travelling for the first time or returning to travel after a long break. The workshop prepares people of all ages for a trip of any length.
