One Thing We Never Travel Without (Travel Medical Insurance)

Hey there, dear Hoppers! We have been asked many times if there is one thing we would not travel without.

The answer is simple, Travel Medical Insurance.

It’s more than just a practicality; it’s a peace-of-mind essential. It’s become a non-negotiable item on our packing list – an understated but indispensable companion for the unpredictable journey of life on the road. Travel, with its unpredictability, can throw curveballs, and having medical coverage ensures we’re not left stranded in unfamiliar territory. It’s a quiet assurance that, if things take an unexpected turn, we’re not alone and trust us, unfortunately, we know something about this.. read this blog article if you did not know about our moto accident in Vietnam.

It’s mind-boggling that many travellers embark on journeys without the safety net of travel insurance. The unpredictability of life on the road makes it a wild ride, and not having insurance is like navigating uncharted territory without a map (and how can you hop on the map, without a map??!!).

The notion of invincibility can be particularly strong among digital nomads, fueled by a sense of self-sufficiency and a belief that they can handle whatever comes their way. The reality is, accidents, big and small, can happen at any time. That’s why it’s crazy not to have travel insurance, how can you enjoy travelling without peace of mind? Why be in gamble mode? Travel smart, travel safe, and let the reassurance of travel medical insurance accompany you on your journeys. What we always say is: If you have money to travel, you also have money to purchase travel medical insurance.
