MY TRAVEL INSURANCE
—
Traveling, especially alone, has taught me one thing: you can’t control everything.
A delay, a health problem, or an unexpected situation can happen anywhere, even during the best trips.
At first, I underestimated travel insurance, but over time I started seeing it as an extra layer of security rather than an unnecessary expense.
Knowing that I was covered allowed me to travel with greater peace of mind and truly enjoy the experience without unnecessary worries.
Everyone is free to make their own choice, but for me, it has become one of those things that I’d rather have and never need than need and not have.
