Everyone is dreaming at a perfect vacation, travelling around the world, visiting exotic locations.  But have you ever thought that your dream vacation could end up really bad? Maybe you’ll get a strange disease from that exotic location, or maybe you’ll have a car accident.  So? what shall you do if something like that happens? Do you know how much a day in a foreign hospital costs? Despite all the risks, studies show that 1 from 5 adults leave their country without travel insurance.

It’s true, maybe nothing will happen and you’ll enjoy your vacation without any problems. But what if it will happen?  In some of the countries you could find reciprocal healthcare arrangements but even though your treatment is for free, other services, like ambulance, or home aid won’t be included. You probably ask yourself: Why shall i make a Travel insurance and not a Health Insurance? Well, travel insurance covers other things than health too. It also covers the loss of luggage, money or papers and passports. 

You can pick a travel insurance that would only cover health problems or one that covers loss of personal belongings but it’s wise to pick one that covers all things related to your journey. Don’t look at the price because if something happens to you while you are away you will definetely thank us for warning you.
