Food & Water

Plan meals, drinking water and dietary requirements for city stays and longer journeys.

Food can be one of the most memorable parts of a journey. Give meals a little planning so that dietary requirements and travel-day logistics do not become an afterthought.

01 / Start here

Explain what you need, not only a label

If you are vegetarian or have another dietary requirement, ask about stock, sauces, cooking fats and ingredients as well as the main dish. For an allergy, discuss your needs with a clinician before travel and communicate them clearly to accommodation and food providers. Keep a written explanation if that helps.

02 / Make it practical

Make drinking water part of the plan

Ask your accommodation how it provides drinking water, especially before a longer transfer or outdoor day. Follow current TravelHealthPro guidance on food and water precautions. Do not assume that a particular bottle, source or treatment method is suitable without checking.

03 / Before you go

Leave space for a meal you can enjoy

Ask your host about dishes they value and where they recommend eating, while applying the health precautions relevant to you. On travel days, confirm meal stops in advance and carry suitable provisions. A relaxed, well-understood meal can be more rewarding than trying every stop on a list.
