Mike Moczarski has always been his little brother’s protector.
They were 10 years apart but were as close as twins. Mark looked up to Mike for everything, even after blossoming into a 34-year-old IT professional and adventurous free spirit who made the 10,000-mile journey to Bali in June for a dream vacation. They talked nearly every day.

Travelers should purchase special health and medical evacuation insurance if going to countries where good medical care might not be available.
You should travel with another person, take a travel health kit and learn basic first aid and CPR.
When on the roads, you should remain alert and avoid distractions, try to avoid overcrowded buses and refrain from drinking alcohol or drugs.
People are also discouraged from using motorcycles or motorbikes. If so, you should use a helmet that meets U.S. safety standards.
