Dr. Nada Lukkahatai is an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University. She has a broad background in nursing, gaining years of experience as a clinical nurse and now as a nurse scientist.



Her research focus is to understand the biological mechanisms in the clustering of symptoms.

She then returned to the US and trained as a postdoctoral fellow at the Symptom Science Unit, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), and National Institutes of Health (NIH). With her knowledge on symptoms science and skills on conducting complex laboratory experiment, using sophisticated omics technologies, Dr. Lukkahatai has published manuscripts that identify genomic and proteomic markers that can be used as interventional targets for symptom management.

Ports of Call

Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles, United States
Los Angeles is not a city to be seen, but a collection of distinct worlds to be experienced. Arriving at the port in San Pedro, the first and most critical piece of advice is to accept the city’s immense scale. A successful day in L.A. requires a focused plan, as its infamous traffic makes trying to do everything an exercise in frustration. We recommend choosing one or two neighborhoods that align with your interests and exploring them deeply.

For a day of world-class culture, head north to the Getty Center. Perched in the Santa Monica Mountains, its stunning architecture, tranquil gardens, and panoramic city views are as compelling as the impressive art collection within. Alternatively, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Museum Row offers a vast collection, with the iconic “Urban Light” installation providing a quintessential L.A. photo opportunity.
Los Angeles, United States


If classic Hollywood is the goal, a pre-booked tour or dedicated rideshare is the most efficient way to navigate the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and the surrounding landmarks. While undeniably tourist-focused, it’s a pilgrimage many feel they must make. For a more relaxed and scenic day, the coastal communities of Santa Monica and Venice offer a classic Southern California experience. Rent a bike and cruise the path between the lively Santa Monica Pier and the bohemian spectacle of the Venice Boardwalk, with its street performers, artists, and eclectic shops.

Closer to the port, Long Beach presents more manageable options, including the impressive Aquarium of the Pacific and the historic Queen Mary. Whatever you choose, planning is paramount. L.A. rewards the prepared visitor with an incredible diversity of art, food, and culture.

At Sea - Cruising

Ensenada, Mexico

Ensenada is a bustling port city that serves as an accessible gateway to the authentic flavors and dramatic landscapes of northern Baja California. While the immediate downtown offers a lively, if tourist-focused, waterfront, the region's true appeal lies just beyond the city limits. The premier attraction is the Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico's celebrated wine country. Here, a landscape of rustic vineyards is dotted with architecturally striking wineries offering sophisticated tastings and world-class, farm-to-table cuisine. For a dose of natural drama, a trip south to La Bufadora reveals one of the world's largest marine geysers, where the Pacific Ocean erupts powerfully against the cliffs. Back in town, a stroll along the malecón for a taste of the original fish taco from a street cart is an essential, unpretentious local experience. Ensenada is best viewed not as a polished resort, but as a portal to the genuine culture of Baja.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.
