What do you take when travelling for 6 weeks?!

Icaridin

Icaridin, also known as picaridin, is an insect repellent which can be used directly on skin or clothing. It has broad efficacy against various arthropods such as mosquitos, ticks, gnats, flies and fleas, and is almost colorless and odorless.

Hi. Just wanted to add that if Sri Lanka is anything like southern India, then you won’t find Hearing Aid batteries or accessories in the local convenience stores or shopping centres. They would be available exclusively in Audiology Clinics. Even hospitals may not have them in stock. So please pack enough batteries to last. Dessicant (silica gel) packets would also be a good idea.
Disclaimer: I’ve never been to Sri Lanka. But I live in south India & I assume the situation may be similar.
Wish you a safe journey.

Hearing aids companies are available across the country. Mainly in the cities. Googled and you can easily find 20 clinics.
