About Mindful Travel and Health

Travel health advice, simplified.

Welcome to Mindful Travel and Health!

Whether you’re planning a tropical adventure, a backpacking trip through Southeast Asia, or a relaxing beach getaway, staying healthy on the road is just as important as booking your flights.

I created this blog to take the confusion out of travel health. Instead of sifting through complicated medical jargon, you’ll find clear, practical, and easy-to-follow guidance on vaccines, disease prevention, and travel safety.

Who Am I?

New Zealand 2019

👋 Hi, I’m Jun, a Canadian pharmacist with over 10 years of experience helping people stay healthy.

I believe in the importance of continuing to educate oneself and embracing knowledge as a way to improve health outcomes. Travel health advice is constantly evolving, and I’m committed to keeping this blog current, reliable, and simplified.

I started Mindful Travel and Health because I saw how overwhelming it can be to figure out:

  • Which vaccines you actually need
  • What diseases are real risks (and what’s just hype)
  • How to prepare a travel health kit
  • Whether travel insurance or credit card coverage is enough

My mission is simple: to make travel health clear and stress-free, so you can explore the world with confidence.
