>> Cheap Backpacker Insurance That's Worth More Than The Paper It's Written On
Is there anyone who doesn’t want to spend at least some of their holidays, sometime before they die, cruising around the Mediterranean, or relaxing back in a harbour-side café in Brittany or hiking in the chocolate-box beauty of Austria? Well, there wouldn’t be too many! It’s there, ready and waiting for you. All you need is great walking shoes, your pack, your passport, your Lonely Planet Guide and cheap backpacker insurance.
Well, not too cheap, you want cheap travel insurance worth the paper it’s written on. What we mean is a great value for money policy that’s perfect for backpackers – for what you want to do and where you want to go. Don’t worry, iTrek has got that covered for you, and we’ve even thrown in the Lonely Planet Shoestring Guide, so now you just have to organise your direct airfares.
When you’re heading off to trip around Europe and the UK (hey, the two virtually go hand in hand) you need to have some idea what to take – after all the terrain takes in sun drenched beaches on the Greek Isles to the snow fields in Norway.
The rule when travelling according to someone called Imboden is, “Don’t take more than you can carry or less than you need.” After all, you will be carrying it all on your back.
Don’t forget – there are shops in Europe and there are many things you might be tempted to pack that can easily be purchased as you go. However, you do need to be sure to take adequate prescriptions or medications for your journey (with a letter of authority from your doctor), contact numbers in triplicate, insect repellent (you can’t wait for that one) rain gear, patience, tolerance, respect, friendship and a sense of humour.
Exercise those last points often enough and you’ll be surprised how often you’ll eat out on someone else and how much more fulfilling and eventful your journey will be.
Two of the major situations you need to guard against when travelling is lost or delayed luggage and personal possessions or theft of your ready cash, traveller’s cheques, credit card, those critical travel documents and your passport. You’d be really stuck if you haven’t taken the precaution of taking out the best level of cheap backpacker travel insurance.
iTrek cover you for all that, even helping you to organise a replacement passport, plus all the emergency cover i.e. evacuation, transport, hospital, medical and dental. That’s top quality, cheap backpacker insurance.
>> When To Speak - When To Stay Silent
- Learn how to say ‘Thank you’ in the native language of every country you intend to visit – and a few more as well.
- Don’t fool around in the customs/immigration queue. Even if it doesn’t look like it, your every word will be noted and you can pretty well guarantee no one gets a joke.
