How about a smoking volcano as an everyday travel hazard? – I hear that Mt Tungurahua in Ecuador has become active again since my visit in October – I wrote about it on my blog here.

Thanks for the post, I completely agree. Can’t be too stingy about safety.

Thanks for this post – you are completely right, and it is important to be prepared. My husband and I were in Peru last summer when the 8.1 earthquake hit… it was a harrowing experience, but we learned a lot, and I don’t think we will ever travel the same way. We were separated for several hours in the process, so we will definitely think about these things in the future… if you are at all interested, I blogged about the earthquake here.
Thanks~
