World Nomads Insurance

It took about a month or so, but I was just grateful to get my money back so I could afford a whole new trip.

In the meantime, their services kept me up to date on great places to go instead, with options and exchange rates. Also, where not to go with updates on unrest that might make traveling become a safety issue. I thought their cheap rates meant coverage would be limited to big ticket items, like plane and hotel or car deposits, but a friend encouraged me to go for it because she had lost a laptop on a trip and been through a virtually painless process to have that replaced.

The big decider for me was on the website- the Footprints program. World Nomads gives back by donating services and funds to countries they also send travelers to. And not just cash, but great programs from Teacher Training in Nepal to marine rescue in Australia and aiding Woman’s Small Businesses training in Sri Lanka. I try to give back and using companies with meaningful projects means a lot to me.
