Travel Insurance
|
Finally, after dreaming about it for years, your round-the-world trip is a reality. You have your passport and visas, you’ve booked your flight, stuffed your backpack with must-haves and arranged to do some couch-surfing for your first month in London. But haven’t you forgotten something?
Travel insurance is something a lot of travelers overlook. For some, it’s simply an oversight, although even experienced travelers often head off armed only with a “she’ll be right” attitude that has so far held them in good stead.
That’s until the unthinkable happens.
Losing your luggage is a painful experience. But losing your passport can prove even more problematic, especially when there are language barriers to overcome.
Replacing these personal belongings can be costly and annoying. However, it’s your health that is most precious, especially when traveling in developing countries.
It’s best to spend a bit of time comparing policies and choosing one that is right for you.

The first question you need to ask yourself when considering what type of policy to purchase, is simple: what kind of traveler are you? Are you a crusty backpacker or are you a little bit posh? Are you prone to bungee jumping or do you prefer moseying about in museums? Do you travel with all the mod-cons (such as ipod, laptop, digital camera and phone) or do you go for the essentials’-only approach?
The answers to these questions can definitely impact on the type of policy that you choose.
