India is a land of wondrous temples, ageless culture, and spectacular sculptures that will boggle the mind—and wildlife that will take your breath away. If one decides to visit this country he or she must always remember to visit a certified travel clinic before heading off anywhere in the world as exotic as India. Visiting this type of facility will help procure protection through a variety of means including the simple vaccination.

Although it affects both genders, it's a problem most men never worry about, but that most women know intimately. No, we're not referring to shopping-itis, we're referring to the urinary tract infection. With over ten million urinary tract infection medical office visits a year in the United States, one could say it's a problem that is less than rare. Thankfully treatment is available and easy to receive for the vast majority of sufferers.

A lot of people travel to NYC. We, as denizens of NYC, travel from NYC. NYC has a lot to offer the vacationer, but if you live here already chances are you will choose a more exotic locale for your trip. Thankfully, the world is filled with such places. From Singapore to Malta, from the highlands of Scotland to the Galapagos Islands there are so many wondrous places to choose from. Yet travel can be far from a wondrous adventure if one does not protect themselves via vaccinations while abroad.

Some people living in New York City will go weeks without seeing a tree. It is perfectly plausible that while going from work to home to even the local grocery store some New Yorkers will see no sign of what once covered this entire planet: nature. And then one day they stumble upon a random block and see these peculiar yet somewhat familiar art installations blocking the sidewalks. They gasp, then breathe. You've finally realized what's been missing in your life, trees!

Summer has left us, New Yorkers. The days of lazily relaxing on one of Central Park's well-manicured lawns to bathe in the Sun's warm rays are pretty much gone. Feel that cold wind coming in? It's like getting a postcard from a cold relative reminding us of her inevitable return. Fall is already here, and Winter is coming, whether you like or not.

Of all the awful STDs out there in the wide world waiting patiently to strike, HPV—or genital warts—is probably at the top of the "cringe" list. No one wants to begin a night of passion only to reveal a crotch full of unsightly and infectious warts by night's end. This goes without saying. If anything can put a damper on a romantic evening it's HPV. Treatment is available and affordable for anyone suffering with this almost-unspeakable malady.

Each and every country possesses its own unique magic and wonder, but the countries in South America truly run the gamut of the fantastic. Whatever it is you want from your travels you can get it somewhere in South America. From beautiful serene sandy beaches to ragged jaggy mountainous peaks, this continent has it all. The terrain, the people, and the food are all fantastic but like other places in the world, there is danger to face.

What is an urgent care clinic, you may be asking? I must admit that the name does not do the facility justice. The term "urgent care clinic" may conjure images of 70's hippies strolling into an industrial pale-green room to down their methadone shots—but this would be totally false. Many urgent care clinics these days are state of the art medical facilities with a philosophy of the best care for the best price.

When I was 13 I performed as a pirate in a children's production of the musical "Peter Pan." Five nights a week for three weeks I borrowed communal makeup and painted on a nasty unibrow, a goatee and some chest hair before running out on stage to sweat and grunt "argh" through peppy musical numbers. Afterwards I would clean the fake body hair with whatever baby wipes available in the green room and go home feeling triumphant about my performance.

An urgent care clinic is the newest of medical care facilities. Other than waiting in a hospital emergency room for hours and hours now one can leisurely stroll into an urgent care clinic (or be helped in by their friends) and be seen in way under an hour, receive the same care as a hospital emergency room, and come out of the entire experience with more cash left in your pocket.
