Customer Reviews

Useful, though highly biased to american people

That guide is a compact and easy to transport, as part of the philosophy of the text. Concise though comprehensive in the topics covered, the author delight us with tens of highly informative tables about the basic set up for a travel. The only drawback is that the guide is highly oriented to US people, I mean, a lot of advices about health institutions, emergencies and medicines does not apply for European people. Anyway, I recommend the book even if your not diabetic and plan to do a long travel.
