Uma lesão no joelho nos EUA

Como cuidamos deste nômade quando se machucou esquiando nos EUA

Eu deveria ter encerrado o meu dia e ter ido para o bar beber algum drink para me aquecer, mas não, decidi descer a montanha mais uma vez. Enquanto eu descia, meu esqui esquerdo se chocou com o direito. O choque acabou lesionando o meu joelho esquerdo e fazendo com que eu rolasse montanha abaixo por algum tempo. Quando eu parei de rodar e capotar pela montanha, percebi que não podia me mover. A minha sorte é que outra pessoa estava passando pelo local e chamou os socorristas da estação de esqui que chegaram rapidamente.

A Knee Injury in the USA

How we helped when this nomad got injured while skiing in the USA

I should have called it quits for the day and headed into a bar for a warming Schnapps. Instead, I decided to take the last ski run down the mountain. As I was flying down the slopes, my left ski collided with my right, blowing out my left knee and causing me to tumble down the mountain. When eventually I came to a stop, I couldn't move. Thankfully, a passing skier called the ski patrol team and they came to my rescue within minutes.

Um aneurisma cerebral na Suíça

Como ajudamos quando este cliente precisou ser hospitalizado com urgência

Sou jovem e nunca imaginei que acabaria no hospital correndo risco de vida. Sem aviso prévio, enquanto viajava pela Suíça, tive um aneurisma cerebral, que é uma dilatação anormal de uma artéria no cérebro e quando explode, pode resultar em um acidente vascular cerebral.

Foi uma experiência assustadora.

Eu fui hospitalizado, passei por uma cirurgia e fiquei com atendimento especializado por dez dias. Depois disso foram algumas semanas de recuperação em Zurique antes de poder voltar para casa. A World Nomads cuidou de mim e levou meus pais para ficar comigo enquanto eu me recuperava..

A brain aneurysm in Switzerland

How we helped when this nomad was urgently hospitalised

I'm young and never imagined I'd end up in hospital with a life-threatening condition. With no warning, while travelling in Switzerland, I had a brain aneurysm, which is an abnormal ballooning of an artery and, when it bursts, it can result in stroke.

It was a terrifying experience.

I was in hospital with specialist care and surgery for ten days followed by weeks recovery in Zurich before I could come home. World Nomads really looked after me and flew my parents over to be with me while I recovered.

Travel in Asia

Draw a circle around the corner of the globe that contains India, China, Japan and Southeast Asia and you have more than half the people on the planet.

Now imagine the diversity of what you can experience there.

The spirituality of major religions. The majesty of the highest peaks. The glittering gaudiness of extreme wealth and the opposite: the desperation of abject poverty. And the realization that while circumstances may be different, people are the same the world over.

Things to consider when travelling in Asia

Before you immerse yourself in Asia, be mindful that things do not always go as planned.
