To assume that the risk is any greater away from home than it would be at home
is xenophobic and irrational. Labs in your hometown are not necessarily any
more competent or careful than labs anywhere else, so lugging film to and from
your hometown because of an irrational fear of foreign labs is
counterproductive. Unless you are truly visiting a destination with a very
poorly-developed infrastructure, you may as well buy and develop film at your
destination, thereby eliminating the risk of fogging the photos that you spent
so much effort to obtain.
