Adulting means getting travel insurance for your next trip and here's why you need it

Plus, how it can even save you money.

Brand Highlight Creator

Travelling the globe, exploring new places, and collecting epic memories is an incredible experience. With all the excitement of planning a trip, something like buying travel insurance might get overlooked.

But it's worth locking in travel insurance before you head off to save money, prevent stress, and enjoy every moment of your trip. Here are just a few reasons to start buying travel insurance.

Adventures come with risks

Exploring new places is thrilling, but it comes with its own set of risks. From city mishaps to off-the-beaten-path accidents, unexpected events can happen. Travel insurance ensures you’re prepared for anything, letting you enjoy your adventures without worrying about unexpected expenses like surprise medical bills or having to buy new stuff when your luggage is lost.

Speaking of medical bills…

For most places you'll travel to internationally, you'll need to pay out of pocket for medical care, which is when travel insurance comes in clutch. Picture this: You’re having the time of your life in Bali, catching waves and enjoying local delicacies. Then, out of nowhere, you get food poisoning that lands you in the hospital, racking up a bill in the thousands and throwing your itinerary out the window. Without travel insurance, this could turn your dream vacation into a financial nightmare. With coverage, you can focus on recovery, not the costs.

When you add it up, it's very affordable

Anyone who has called on their travel insurance will tell you it's worth the money. Look at it this way: soNomad offers plans starting at just $1.50 a day, which means that for less than your daily coffee, you can secure peace of mind and protect yourself from unforeseen expenses. It's not just medical coverage, either. Depending on your chosen plan, you can be covered for trip cancellation, trip interruption, losing your luggage, and more.

Stay adventurous, stay covered

If you’re into adrenaline-pumping activities like scuba diving, skiing, or hiking, you can get travel insurance that covers these sports and go at them with gusto. soNomad has policies that cater to adventurers, so you can push your limits while staying protected.

Accidents can happen to anyone

We all like to think we're invincible, especially when we’re young. But accidents and illnesses can happen to anyone. And, if you're lucky enough to travel a lot, there are more chances for the unexpected to happen. Travel insurance is your safety net, ready to catch you when life throws a curveball. It’s a smart move that future you will thank you for.
