Hello Maike,

 

There is a good article here about Traveling with Asthma and there are a couple resources listed on page 2 for getting information for traveling internationally as well as domestically. Specifically for international travel, the following is suggested:

 

"If your vacation takes you to a foreign land, you might consider contacting the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers. For a low-cost donation to this nonprofit organization, you can receive a directory of English-speaking physicians worldwide who have trained in either the U.S., Canada or the United Kingdom. It can also provide forms for your own clinical records, immunization information for specific countries and worldwide climate charts. For further details call: IAMAT at 417 Center Street, Lewiston, NY, 14092; or call (716) 754-4883."

 

Good luck and stay in touch!

If you can read French, there's information from the French Ministry of Health about asthma (in French, asthme) at this link:
