Health and Wellness-Related Travel
Health and wellness-related travel, also known as medical tourism, is a topical phenomenon with a wide range of effects in both local and transnational contexts. This scoping study examines the literature on this phenomenon from the perspective of travelers.

Drawing on multi-sited ethnography in three domains – body–mind–spirit therapies, vaccine h…

However, by drawing from qualitative interviews with Finnish self-trackers, the article argues that in practice self-tracking also appears as prescriptive of uncertainty. The article shows how everyd…
