“True story: I went to Mexico to get half my stomach removed 🇲🇽
Honestly, it was one of the BEST medical experiences I’ve ever had. BUT, I was smart about it. I love to travel & medical tourism gave me the opportunity that insurance denies me in the U.S.
Here’s what I did:
🌟 Register with the STEPS program for country alerts and let the embassy know you’re in Mexico.
🌟 Purchase travel insurance with medical. Mine included everything from lost luggage to bringing home my body.
🌟 Download the border crossing app for realtime alerts, if you aren’t flying.”
