Insure your travel before the tour

If you are going on your gap travel year or get on a backpacking trip around the world it is essential that you have enough travel insurance! And, if you’re the adventurous type and into activities you need to make sure that you have got the right insurance to cover the type of activity you’re planning.

Accidents and illness can and do happen for a variety of reasons, but failure to have appropriate travel insurance could leave those on an extended trip footing huge bills for medical or travel expenses. We would also recommend anyone taking a long trip to take a first aid kit for those minor cuts and bruises often encountered whilst travelling.

Don’t forget to take travel insurance for backpackers is a lot cheaper than having to fork out on expensive medical bills!
