Holiday Insurance
>>'Yep, You're On Your Way' Holiday Insurance
Is this your first time going overseas, or are you one of the 'been there, done that' travellers? Chances are there's no difference in your level of excitement and expectation. Probably the major difference is in the memories - the light switch at the end of a trail of electric wires hanging from the wall in your third world hotel, the bleat of sheep on a plunging snow-capped, windless mountainside, the very real culture shock when you come home to discover there are so few people in Australia - and you can understand every one of them. There is one more difference though. The 'been there' travellers know how critical holiday insurance is.
Making sure you take out a secure level of cheap travel insurance is just one of the points to remember before you head off, along with getting your shots and checking your teeth - but when you're travelling, don't forget these basic points - and they apply to anywhere in the world:
- Don't carry or take anything for anyone you don't know better than your mother.
- Dress not only for the climate but for the local culture as well.
- A smile is international, everyone nods for yes and shakes for no and charades are great fun so don't get too hung up on the language.
There are other things you should get hung up on though - yes - such as taking out the best annual, multi trip, or single trip holiday insurance for you. It doesn't have to cost the earth, but it could make sure you get to see the world.

Think what would happen if you hadn't taken out holiday insurance and your wallet containing your credit card, traveller's cheques and cash were stolen while you were in Barcelona, or somewhere more isolated such as Ca Mau in the Mekong Delta, or what if that bus your mother always warns you about actually did hit you as you zigzagged across a crowded road in Bangkok. Don't fight it. Taking out comprehensive travel insurance, or even basic, cover is just one of those things you have to do.
