UNPACKING MY SUITCASE
I have been a Travel Health Nurse for over 5 years as well as a world traveller for the past 15 years. But here's the truth: I didn't take my first holiday until I was 26. Travel wasn't even on my radar up until that age and I certainly didn't have any knowledge of travel health. So when I began travelling, I made a crucial mistake:
I didn't know how to protect my health while travelling. No vaccines, no food safety awareness and no idea which diseases I was exposed too.
I contracted food poisoning in Thailand, waterborne illnesses in New Zealand, undiagnosed allergies in Malaysia and covid in Canada. But it was during the first year of my backpacking journey that I was diagnosed with HIV in Australia and from that moment on, travel became more than getting from one place to the other. It became a fight to survive and a challenge to carry on with my travel dream.
Time was running out, I was stuck in Sydney, unable to leave as I fell ill pretty quick. While the ordinary backpacker had modern day worries such as applying for visas, finding a job and making money to travel to their next destination, I had bigger fish to fry.
I lost my job, ran out of money, became homeless and had no food, all the while dealing with a disease that had completely took over my body. My travel dream was literally crumbling down around me. And if I didn’t start antiretroviral medication soon, I was going to die.
And like a new born baby, I began a journey of self-discovery to keep my travel dream a reality and for that, I had to stay alive. This now meant getting to know my body all over again, both physically and mentally and learning the fundamental aspects of life as a human being.
And that's when I realised something: If someone like me, with a nursing background, can get it wrong then how many other travellers are unknowingly putting their health at risk.
That's why I have created The Travel Health Diaries: To create a community of travellers who have their own story to tell, to feel empowered and to learn from their mistakes by taking an holistic interest in their health.
With my experience as a travel health nurse, you will receive honest, practical and medically proven advice from essential vaccinations and destination specific risks to managing chronic & short term illnesses while abroad. I'm here to help you make holistic and informed decisions before, during and after your journey.
So start exploring The Travel Health Diaries, your global health companion for safe, smart and meaningful travel.

“David made me feel welcome and comfortable, he explained everything step by step. Excellent customer service”.
— Lorena L
“David did not disappoint. He was absolutely amazing and certainly did reassure me about my forthcoming trip to India. The appointment was not rushed and I was able to talk through a medical crisis that previously happened to me in Cuba. The general advice and vaccinations schedule that David explained was perfectly and uniquely tailored to my requirements. David clearly explained my options so that a tailor made travel health package could be formulated in accordance with my informed choices. I cannot thank him enough. I left feeling much happier about my future trip as I DO tend to worry more than necessary”.
