How prepared are you to travel to countries like Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and other regions where Ebola is currently major concern? What sort of precautions are you taking, and how might visiting west Africa later affect your ability (via visa or otherwise) when attempting visit countries later on?

Have fun on your trip!

That is a really good question with some real insight into traveling! Thank you :)

I too wonder how my onward travel will be affected by having been to "Ebola countries". But if I can just make it into the next country and then renew my passport then I think I'll be fine.

I've done extensive research and based it on facts from WHO, CDC and IFRC. I'm far more likely to be struck by lightning than to be infected. Being infected is however a serious matter but I really can't phantom that it will happen. I'm more so concerned with arriving at the border of some country that will not allow me to enter because I have been to a country with an Ebola outbreak. However I will probably be less reluctant to shaking hands and more prone to using soap.

Thanks for answering! As a follow-up question, what sort of vaccinations have you received, and what are you required to have been vaccinated against when entering certain countries or regions?
