Protect Yourself Whilst You Travel With SafetyWing

July 10, 2019
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with SafetyWing Travel Medical Insurance.

When it comes to travelling, one of the most important things you can do is ensure you have travel insurance. 
Although you may feel as though you can coast through your travels with very few issues, travelling as a nomad means that you’re always open to something bad happening. As you’re always on the road, there are so many opportunities to fall ill or to experience delays. If something bad happens travel insurance is the only way to ensure you’re kept safe.
If you’re wondering why you need to get travel insurance as a digital nomad or you don’t know where to start, this post will definitely help: 

The Importance Of Travel Insurance

– Your Safety Should Come First 
Although travelling is about fun and adventure, you need to ensure you’re putting your safety first. Travel insurance won’t stop you getting hurt, but it will ensure you have exactly what you need to ensure a speedy recovery. Whether it’s a quick visit to the doctors for antibiotics or the funding needed for urgent surgery, insurance is designed to cover you in the event of an emergency.
– You Never Know What Can Happen
Whilst you may feel as though nothing bad is going to happen when you travel, you never know what could happen. There are so many factors that go into making your journey a success and if one thing slips up or you come across something that is out of your control, you could end up out of pocket. Whether this means your flight is cancelled due to bad weather or you lose your luggage whilst you’re travelling, your travel insurance will help cover any money or items lost.
– Medical Expenses Can Be Incredibly Expensive 
No matter where you are in the world, medical expenses are usually incredibly expensive. If you’re travelling, however, the cost is usually increased. Whilst you will have to pay your medical bills upfront, your travel insurance will allow you to put in a claim for a refund. If you do undergo treatment whilst you’re travelling, make sure you keep all of your documentation and bills. 
– Some Places Don’t Allow You To Travel Without Insurance
Although this isn’t the case with all companies, you may find that some places won’t allow you to travel without valid travel insurance.

How SafetyWing Can Help

If like most digital nomads you struggle to find a plan for continuous travel, you may want to consider using SafetyWing.

SafetyWing has worldwide coverage and has limited home country coverage. It is available for purchase in 180 countries and can even be purchased when already travelling. You can find out more here.

Having personally been caught out by not having travel insurance, I urge you all to make it your priority when travelling.

If you've ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram and all can you see is rows and rows of 'perfect' photos of people travelling well don't worry, because that's definitely not what you're going to find here.I'm a true believer that life is what you make it and although I don't always have the best luck while travelling, it's the thing that fills me with joy. With lots of mistakes, mishaps and chaotic stories behind me, I thought here was the perfect place to share my stories (along with everything I've picked up along the way)
