Wellness Tourism

The biggest advantage of choosing to be treated well when it comes to your health care is that it is easier to stay healthy through preventative care. In the United States and parts of Europe, it seems that medicine is all about stitching you back up after you have fallen ill. In Asia, on the other hand, I was able to take care of my health before it became a problem. In that way, the term medical tourism does not exactly fit.

A medical tourist gets on a plane to save $3,000 on a hip surgery. Conversely, a Nomad Capitalist who is willing to go wherever they need to care for their general health, wellbeing, and beauty can achieve a higher level of healthy living. I call it wellness tourism. Keep your mind and body in good shape and you will have more energy to live the rest of the Nomad Capitalist lifestyle.

The principles of wellness tourism fit perfectly into the mantra to go where you’re treated best – quite literally, actually. If you want to be healthy, go where people live healthy lifestyles. If you want to look sexy, go where people strive to be sexy. For example, Venezuela has produced about a gazillion beauty pageant winners thanks to parents applying largely distasteful tactics for beauty. That said, if you are in the market for cosmetic surgery, you might consider the place where people have such a sick obsession with it that a simple tummy tuck is child’s play. Who would you trust as the expert in making people look good: doctors in a country with never-ending pageant winners, or doctors advertising on billboards in Manhattan, Kansas?

For now, however, you might not want to go to Venezuela – what with the food shortages and, well, everything. Colombia, Brazil, and South Korea are just as renowned for elective procedures. While I do find some of the operations people in these countries go through sad, remember that going where you’re treated best does not always mean changing the world. You will not get Koreans to stop having eyelid surgery, nor do they want to, but you can benefit from the expertise that exists because of it.

We all know someone in the West who dipped into savings or ran up credit card debt to get a nose job or breast implants. When I inquired with Prince Court as to their average prices and compared them to prices from surgeons in the United States, they were, on average, about 70% cheaper. If doctors were not such sticklers for ethics in marketing, they would call it, “Get paid to get a butt lift… and we’ll give you a free beach vacation with palm trees and monkeys and coconuts.”

So, where can you travel to get quality care? Thailand and Malaysia are two of the best, but many other countries are getting into the medical tourism game, too. Singapore, for example, is known for excellent quality cancer care. Despite the expensive cost of living, you can save about half on the prices in many western countries.
